Proximity to Yosemite can’t be beat unless in the park. Loved the pool and jacuzzi and surrounding nature - great to have food and little shop on site. Lived that we could cook and had a little kitchenette too. River is beautiful but in late spring too loud to enjoy the patio behind our room - enjoyed time with friends eating out by pool instead.
The bed was not super comfy and the floorboard had staples sticking out that hurt my 4 year old son so we had to put a towel over it.

Lovely room, clean, good bar and restaurant. Location.
I'm sorry to go on about this but there is a "passive aggressive" attitude towards tipping in most U.S. restaurants. Tipping has gone from a nice gesture by customers to staff hovering over you with a piece of paper "suggesting" you tip them 20,22, or 25%, and if you don't you get obvious disappointment. I am considered generous in the U.K. because I always tip good service10%; most people don't tip at all. But in the U.S. I up treated like a lepur when I do this. This restaurant was as guilty as many others. We met an Australian gentleman who was particularly angered by this. Perhaps American employers should pay their staff properly like they do in Europe and Australia. Otherwise this is a terrific place to stay; top notch!

We have stayed here many times over the years and it's always been great. Stayed in the deluxe family suite this time since there were 7 of us, and we all enjoyed it.
Beds could have been a bit more comfortable. Bathroom door lock needs to be fixed.

we loved the location with the river running behind the property, the views and sound whilst having our morning coffee was amazing. The location was short drive to Yosemite NP.
our pillows were small and flat, leaving us with sore necks. The towels were old and tattered. the staff were unable to explain the payment correctly, leaving us unsure of when we will be paying for the property. As we are from a different country it was difficult to ensure the correct money was ready for the payment.

Location; multiple pools/hot tubs; Pizza restaurant was outstanding; River view; nice office/store area.
Very expensive for age and condition of facility. First room had a “bug” issue so we had to move everything (lots of stuff for 7 night stay). Next room had an AC leak dripping on carpet … after all unpacked. Finally got upgraded to better room that was nice at 10 pm. Didn’t enjoy moving several times within a few hours after full exhausting day of travel. The “upgraded” room had no screen on sliding balcony door.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I wasn't expecting much from the 3 star rating but I thought it was great. The room was spacious, the bathroom was large and there was a small kitchenette with room to have breakfast/make coffee etc. The bed was really comfortable and the view was awesome! We had a great view of the river that was really nice to wake up to. We had a fireplace in our room but it was too hot to use. Parking was easy as was checking in and out.
The hotel is a bit dated and could use a little TLC, A little expensive for what you get but you are in Yosemite.

Location, location, location! A quick and stunning drive into the park, petrol station nearby was a bonus. The hotel had great facilities to relax after a day exploring, multiple pools and jacuzzi's, a massive games room with games equipment plus side lounges with tv and board games. Great pizza place on site plus another restaurant we didn't visit. The room also has a small kitchen to make your own food. Top tip, take sandwich bags and supplies to make picnics for in the park. Onsite shop does sell a decent amount of stuff but no salad and it's understandably pricey.
Some games were broken and our room smelled a little musty when we arrived - it aired out pretty quickly though when we opened the balcony door.

We only stayed for one night, but I can imagine spending more time in Yosemite Lodge. It is about a 30-minute drive from the main Yosemite Valley area, which is very convenient. The room had everything we needed and more - a view of the Mercad River and the towering mountains all around (it was great that you couldn't hear the roar of the water when you closed the windows and balcony door and could sleep soundly), a small kitchen, nice big comfy beds, and a fully equipped bathroom (with jacuzzi jets as well, but we couldn't figure out how to work them). I liked that there were restaurants, a pool and a game room on the site, but unfortunately, we didn't have time to try it out. But we enjoyed the stay
The jets on the bath didn't work and there was a problem with logging in to my Disney+ account

Nice down to earth place. Lovely lounge near reception. Well stocked shop. Nice pools. Very close to entrance to Yosemite National Park. Its sister hotel Cedar Lodge is nice and worth a visit just five mins drive down the road: Has a lovely pool and bar/grill which we ate at one night.
Choice of meals very limited. Pizzas were amazing but I don't want to eat them every night! The breakfast we paid extra for one morning was average. The evening meal in the same breakfast room was much better with more choice eg steak, pasta etc. You can’t drink alcohol in the lounge but you can at the two restaurants. Couldn’t get jacuzzi to work properly by the pool when I tried.

The room was lovely, clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed in it, Small kitchenette, we only stayed 1 night so didn't use it but would recommend for anyone staying longer.
The restaurant was not very organised. We were given a pager as there was a 40 mins wait, it went off after 5 minutes but our table wasn't ready, it went again after another 10 mins at which point I was told that I needed to check my watch for the time. When we eventually got to our table our order was taken but then took around another 30 mins to come. The food wasn't particularly good, fish and chips and ravioli which was mediocre.
