Disappointed Despite the Friendly Staff
We booked this property based on its four-star rating and were initially hopeful. Check-in was smooth, and the front desk staff was friendly and welcoming.
Unfortunately, the stay took a turn once we got to our room (602), which is right next to the Lucky Buck Café. The walls were paper thin, and all day and night we heard constant squeaking from the room doors and heavy foot traffic. Daytime naps were impossible, and the banging from café cleanup lasted until after 11 p.m.
The room itself was clean, but the bed was incredibly uncomfortable—lumpy with completely worn-out pillows. My fiancée and I both woke up with sore backs and necks. It was the worst mattress I’ve ever slept on.
The lodge is conveniently located about 20 minutes from Yosemite, which is a plus. However, the noise issues, poor sleep quality, and terrible Wi-Fi (which made even trying to find another hotel impossible) ruined our experience.
We travel often and rarely write negative reviews, but this one left us frustrated, angry, and disappointed. I would not stay here again. If you’re visiting the area, I recommend looking into Rush Creek, Evergreen Lodge, or Blackberry Inn instead
