We had a hard time finding a decent price in expensive Hotels of Yosemite area. This hotel was one of the few that didnt have crazy rates, plus it is close to the park entrance (giant sequoia area). The location is great, the cottage was really in the forest, sorrounded by super tall trees. Inside, though, the carpet was smelly, the toilet not very clean, not enough furniture to place our 4suitcases, being a family... We stayed for 2 nights and they also forgot to make our beds once, maybe because we forgot to tip, but being from Europe, we never do that and we really forgot to do it by mistake. Breakfast constists of a bag full of sweet snacks, juices and coffe for your room; no milk neither cereal. If you have picky children, they won't eat anything! I don't say it was terrible, but still, we payed too much for what we got; next time I would go somewhere else.
For Italians: bellissimo da fuori, immerso nella foresta, viciissimo alle sequoie di Yosemite,spazioso e non troppo caro, ma dentro moquette puzzava e non grande pulizia. la colazione di merendine confezionate e succhi di frutta stra-dolci senza latte, non è piaciuta ai miei figli. Se siete di passaggio andateci, se state una settimana evitate.

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!
