Pleasantly surprised after some of the reviews on here. Room was lovely, no complaints, bed was comfortable. Plenty of parking. Gift shop closed early one evening due to technical issues which was a little annoying as we wanted some bits and it’s the middle of nowhere. Breakfast was good, again better than expected, buffet style. We didn’t use the restaurant or bar, or pools. Really cute little area down by the lake / river. Our room had a little deck area behind which was shared with other rooms, would’ve been nice if the fairy lights were on at night.

I was so pleased with our stay here! There were many amenities we didn't have the time to explore but here are the highlights of the things we liked:
~Our room (192) was very close to by the adults only outside pool/hot tub/fire pit. A great way to end a long day of hiking. The balcony is a nice plus.
~There is a charming riverwalk/small beach…

~Our room (192) was very close to by the adults only outside pool/hot tub/fire pit. A great way to end a long day of hiking. The balcony is a nice plus.
~There is a charming riverwalk/small beach across the street that has Adirondack chairs where you can enjoy your coffee in the morning
~If you want free coffee (there is also a pot in the room), you can bring one of the 4 mugs from your room down to the lobby and fill up there.
~The store in the lobby was very handy and had reasonable prices and options
~Staff was friendly and helpful (they helped us open our bottle of wine, we can no corkscrew)
~Proximity to Yosemite was great = 19miles/34 minutes (we were here after Labor Day)
I would definitely recommend.

Adequate Hotel

Lodge was clean, staff friendly. We asked for a couple of things and reception deal promptly. Both pools are lovely. Near to Yosemite park. Restaurant on site was ok. Let us check in early. Shower could be a bit stronger. Pillows were not good, too soft.
Perfect location for Yosemite access!
