The lodge offers convenient access to the park. The rooms are spacious. I also found the on-site restaurant to be satisfactory. The food was good.
The phone in my room did not work. I noticed a light in the bathroom flickering. It needed repair. I found some scum on the shower wall, it clearly indicated infrequent cleaning.

convenient locationtakeaway coffeeonsite restaurantuncomfortable bedmissing informationinexperienced staff
The location was convenient for visiting the park. The general store offered takeaway coffee. I thought the onsite restaurant was very beneficial after long days in Yosemite.
The pullout bed was unbelievably uncomfortable. I noted that the chalk boards did not include the information about the nearby park entrance being closed. The young staff did not seem equipped to handle unexpected problems.
