We were concerned when we read some of the tripadvisor reviews but decided to give the hotel a go as we were looking for simplicity and proximity to the park. It is very much no frills but the room was clean and there was a tv, coffee making facilities and it was wonderfully peaceful and we slept really well. The young couple who do the housekeeping are delightful and gave us a really warm welcome. The owner was less friendly and seems to be missing an opportunity to make much more of this hotel. In our time there, there were only three or four other people staying. There is no doubt that the hotel is overpriced for what it is but in this area of Yosemite it's hard to find anything cheaper and so it was worth it for us. We would recommend a stay here.

This motel is just on the entrance of Yosemite. We stayed there on May 2010, after driving from Chicago all along Route 66. We had booked a tent in Curry Village but when we saw it we preferred a betteer place. Almost everything was full and this was the only place we could find (in fact a very kind woman at the tourist information found it for us :)). We were surprised about its location: it is very near from Park entrance, in Fish Camp, a very small and nice village.

The motel is a bit old, but it seemed quite clean for us. Price was absolutely great according to its location (I think it was about 30$ more than the tent at Curry Village).

There ain't many places for dinner near s our only option was the motel's restaurant. It is very nicely decorated and feels quite romantic for a couple. The food we ate was GREAT. Staff was very friendly too.

I recommend it without any doubt.

First of all, I stayed here in May 09. I chose Nov 09 above, because they don't have an option that goes earlier than Nov 09. Nice clean rooms and nice functional bathroom with hot water. No problems whatsoever. Given that it is a lodge near a national park, I don't expect rooms like Sheraton or Holiday Inn. It was like regular cabins. The pricing was the most reasonable compared to anything that is available around Yosemite. The lodge is just at the entrance of Yosemite, which makes it a good location as well. We had to drive everyday in to the park, but that for us was better than choosing expensive rooms inside the park. The drive is beautiful anyways. Service was good as well. Thoroughly enjoyed!

We were very pleased to get a room since we went during the busy season and did not make a reservation. We were given a very reasonable rate since we were mid-week. Everyone was extremely hospitable. The food in the restaurant was great. The rooms are small and simple but were clean and stocked with soaps and shampoos. The TV got great reception. The bed was very comfortable and for me that's the most important thing. We sat out on the porch in the evening, it was so quiet and pleasant. They are also conveniently located only a few miles from the south entrance to Yosemite. I am sure we will be going back there again. I can't imagine why I would want to spend more to stay somewhere else.
