Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

The only thing I like about this property is the close proximity to the Yosemite National Park entrance. Rooms are outdated and several fixtures needs to be fixed. For almost $400 a night , you would expect something above average. But no, the small fridge is too loud, also the AC. Bath tub has a broken drain. Staffs are not friendly specially when I checked out. Didn’t even apologized or say anything when I brought out some issue with the room. The only reason I will probably stay here again is the location.

Great location, bring the kitchen stuff you need

We had a king room with hot tub in Sequoia. This is a great location- truly 5 min from the gate , and that is probably the only thing that matters. It was a dog friendly room, only 25 dollars per nite for doggie . The front desk was friendly and helpful but there is no online check in, so wait in line, old school. The room was clean, but old. When it rained we see rain coming through the concrete of the roof over our balcony. The toilet stool leaked onto the bathroom floor so it was always wet around the toilet. The toilet seat hinges were broken, so there was an uncomfortable shift and bang every time we tried sitting down. The kitchen was minimal and random - forks and plates (2) were mismatched, tines on forks were bent - make sure to bring salt and pepper, oil, paper towels, a kitchen towel or two, - (we had 1 provided). Provided was 1 used sponge and a small amount of dishwashing soap. So on my next trip I will bring pretty much everything. I still recommend the place, but be prepared. We planned on buying everything locally, but I am not sure I recommend that in early spring. No one starved, but selection was extremely limited.

This lodge was perfect for our Yosemite visit. The lodge has lots of entertainment options for the kids. Several pools, hot tubs and a game room. Rooms were okay. We had a room that could be a connecting room and you could hear everything on the other room. No privacy in that respect. Because cars are parked right in front of rooms, there’s always the inconsiderate person that locks or unlocks their car with a beep at odd hours of the night. Not many gluten free options on restaurants. It was an average stay, to be honest. And if all you’ll be doing is Yosemite, then this place is totally adequate.

Great location, and lots of fun for kids.

It was such a beautiful hotel, right on the river. Rooms were very spacious for our 6 member family. Not many food options but that's expected in nature, we did enjoy the small shop, got some necessities in the store, and loved the game room, grandma loved playing scrabble.
