Basic hotel. Good dining option at the Grant Grove restaurant. Conveniently located. Staff was friendly and hospitable. 4 stars because the rooms were small and dated. However, I would stay again.

This hotel commands its price because it is located in the park. It does have a pleasant lobby for relaxing, and there are rocking chairs on the porches. But there is no area immediately adjacent to the hotel to explore, just a parking lot and a paved road to walk to the restaurant and visitor's center. At night, it is totally dark once you exit the front door to the parking lot. We brought our small dog and there is no area set aside for him to relieve himself. In fact, most of what is accessible on the hill has signs to stay off. The room just has a fan for cooling. The only microwave is in the lobby. I thought the staff were good at their jobs.

Overall the lodge has a log cabin charm. The front desk provided adequate service. Coffee is provided in the lobby common area but constantly needed to be refilled which was not attended to without prompting. The room was ok but better attention needed to dusting all surfaces including the blinds ( which are not blackout , prepare to wake at first light or bring a mask). Mattresses need to be replaced, could feel the springs- very uncomfortable. It’s really the only option for lodging in the park with en suite bathrooms but for the price could use some upgrades for comfort

Resting on its laurels - work needed

Very dated property with limited facilities. Staff were sassy about people trying to check in and hour early then had a full lobby 2 hours after check in time because none of the rooms were clean.
