A budget stay
Overall our stay was good. The location is great and it is easy to get to and from the park. Unfortuantely the beds were not very comfortable and the internet was shotty.

One of the best places to stay !
We loved staying at the YWL. It is conveniently located very close to the Big Oak Flat entrance. Our room was great, super-good amenities (wi-fi, USB charging), easy/fast check-in and check-out, great food at the Luck Buck Cafe next door (lots of vegetarian/vegan options !).. I would say it was part of the reason we had such a great trip to Yosemite !

Good option
They allowed us to check in earlier than expected because there was an available room, that helped us a lot. Thanks to the staff.
The place is adequate and they have a restaurant next door.

Comfortable stay
Stay was good. Room was neat n clean. They allowed early check-in.
It would be better if reception can provide coins for laundry. We could only do one round of wash n dry as they provided coins only for 3$.

This is an amazing option for a stay in Yosemite. The lodge is clean and modern and only 20 minutes from the best entrance to the park. Do not miss the adjoining restaurant as it is absolutely delicious ams the menu is expansive. .

Nice clean comfortable room. Very spacious bathroom. Although the weather wasn't right for it, they also have a nice looking pool and playground. The restaurant next door for dinner and breakfast was also very delicious.

This hotel is good, if you are okay to travel 1 hour . Because it’s one hour away from valley center . Make sure bring food items with you, only one restaurant is close by .

Great location outside of Yosemite. The room is clean and updated. Cute property with small playground, pool, hot tub, and several areas for outdoor eating. Lucky Buck Diner next door is great for food and alcohol.
