The lodge was very clean with what looked like updated rooms. The laminate floors were very nice and the bed excellent. Very convenient for visiting Yosemite. However, the drive is much longer than the website suggests. It is nearly 45 minutes to the the valley floor, even though the park entrance is about 15 minutes.

Great but too expensive
Location and ammenities are great but way too expensive. It is a "lodge" afterall, not a high-end luxury hotel. This has been the most expensive room in our entire CA road trip, including San Francisco, LA and Sequoia. Prices are such that they profit out of tourists being far from any cities near by. This is very unfortunate.

Hotel stay
The room was not horrible but the AC unit was very loud, the microwave was broken and keep making a noise all night until we finally unplugged it. The TV also stopped working and we could never get it to reset. The hotel was also a little further than I expected from the park. About an hour driver. Having Bucks restaurant close was very nice and the food was good.
