Very friendly and helpful staff. We loved the fresh backed cookies! The location was great. The hotel was nice but could use some updating - in particular, it took a while for the room to warm up when we put the heat on at night.

Excellent staff, nice facility. Great food at the restaurant nearby. Parking is pretty limited though at the lodge itself. The lodge is close to all the good old giant trees! The Park Visitor Center is also top notch there.

The staff was very nice and helpful. Cozy lodge convenient location. The only downside was that there is no good restaurant on location. The only restaurant around is next to the visitor center and has terrible service. Everyone was frustrated over the long wait and rudeness of the waitresses there. I don't blame the lidge for this just wanted to mention it.

Truly charming lodge in a great location. Rooms were rustic in keeping with the flavor of the area. Large, clean & comfortable. Lobby had a large stone fireplace with tables & chairs. One chilly evening there was a roaring fire there, adding to the ambiance. A microwave was available if you wanted to enjoy a quick meal in the lobby, and coffee & tea were there too. Front desk staff were friendly & welcoming. You could walk to the area with a full service restaurant, market and gift shop, as well as park visitor center. I would definitely stay there again,

The place itself was great! It is extremely close to the General Grant Tree, fallen monarch, panoramic view, big stump trail and Mark Twain’s stump! Within walking distance, there is a market and one restaurant. Overall, I would stay here again.

What’s not to like staying in the park. Staff could have been more friendly. Walking down the hall staff member did not even greet us or acknowledge us. Walked into the lodge same thing, the person at the desk did not say good morning, good afternoon of anything. Good things: stay in the NP, room was nice, free coffee in lobby for my husband. Bad things: pillows too soft, bathtub slippery, staff not friendly, no restaurant on site.
