The room was super nice and it was right next to the river I think it’s the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at I would totally recommend it

Dec 30, 2025

The location of the lodge right outside the entrance sign to Yosemite is unbeatable. The room with kitchenette works great to meal prep for our day out exploring the park. You can hear the Merced river bubbling behind the hotel and the pools and hot tubs look great. Very comfy in an excellent location

The indoor pool was warm and the game room was great. Kids liked the room with the loft. EV charger, dog friendly, and kitchenette were added bonuses after a long day exploring the park.
