Loved this place! Our favorite by far. Been on a 2 week trip and I have noticed (everywhere we stayed), we get the worst room. I think they put the worst room on Expedia. Buck Lodge was clean and cute and charming. Lots of parking, nice facilities and great restaurant/bar next door.

We liked having a restaurant on site. We liked the covered porch. The bathroom door needs oiled as it squeaked and woke up others when using it at night. Also, the toilet seat needed tightened. Convenient to Yosemite

This hotel is a great location just outside the park. The rooms are fine. I gave 3 stars because the staff is kinda rude and I booked this hotel for the laundry. There was 1 working washer which was in use. It was only open til 9 pm. And did not open til 10 am We got there at 8 pm and we're leaving in the morning. They told me too badok that's their policy. Got it Anyway there were more issues. the hotel is fine. Good luck if you want a washer or dryer. anytime I asked a question I was met with a rude answer.

We stayed 2 nights in Room 611, which is apparently the only queen room with an attached patio/deck. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was hard for my back. The outside patio/deck was nice, but the table and chairs had not been cleaned in some time. You have minimal interaction with the staff. It's in a nice location, pretty close to the park entrance. The Lucky Dollar Cafe next door is a decent place to eat (and the only place to eat). Overall, a nice play to stay.
