Good place to stay if going to Yosemite.

It was clean, staff was friendly and very comfortable. Has a nice porch to sit on, activities if you wish to use and a restaurant. Some of the food is good and some not so good, but overall a nice place to stay.

Great little lodge just outside of Yosemite. I stayed here for a night after a 4 day backpacking trip and it was the perfect spot to rest and recover. The onsite laundry facility and restaurant make it a great home base for exploring the park.
