Very good

Stayed there for 2 nights with family. Got to our room in 604 and noticed that the toilet is clogged. Called the front desk and was told by the lady that it usually takes time for the water to drain. I requested from her for a lodge staff to check it but was told that she’s by herself and no one is available. She had us get a toilet plunger instead. My husband who tried to remedy the situation, walked to the Yosemite Lodge front desk lobby to get the toilet plunger. Of course, the plunger didn’t work! Didn’t call the front desk again since it was already after hours.
Disaster happened the following morning when me and my family were getting ready for our trip to Yosemite Park. Toilet was still clogged and this time, dirty water was already coming out from the shower tub drain. Called the front desk, no one answered, so had to personally walk there disgusted and very upset. A different front desk lady was apologetic and moved us to another room.
It was such a horrible, terrible and stressful experience! We will never ever ever again stay in this property.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Buck Meadows is great for saving money during an extended trip to Yosemite- it's clean, quiet, and does the job. Having the Lucky Buck restaurant right next door was convenient- my family's favorites were the french toast, steak and soft pretzel. Staff were friendly and the place filled up later on and had a nice atmosphere. We went down the road to the Iron Door Saloon the next night- the ribs were fantastic/ highly recommend, and local beer on tap. The Buck Meadows room we stayed in was small but clean- the bathroom was nice and big. We had some trouble with the TV but the front desk walked us through resetting the cable box. Some things about the room that weren't great: there was a pretty good sized gap at the bottom of the door. Winter temps got into the 20s/30s at night. Some weather stripping would solve that easily. My husband used his jacket to stop cold air from entering the room (I don't like hearing the heater constantly turning on all night and our 5-year-old is a light sleeper). Our kids are big and we camp, so no real problem, but if I was staying here with a baby I may have felt differently about that gap. Also it took a very long time for hot water to reach our room, in the summertime no big deal, but in the winter it's a drag to have your hand in freezing water for that long. Overall I'd stay here again when traveling on a budget or just needing a place to crash after a full day of serious hiking without little kids.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Heater was broken in the room and the bathtub was broken.
This is our favorite spot to stay outside of Yosemite Park. We stay in one of the 2 cabins. Seasonally the restaurant attached to the hotel has good food and friendly service. There are chargers for ev cars on the property provided by Electrify America.
Buck Meadows staff was amazing! The cleanliness of the property and the rooms were also amazing! My only issue that is preventing me from staying here again, was the BED. The bed in room 605 was so hard, we tossed and turned all night and was really sore in my back, shoulders and neck. Due to this we didn't get a goodnight of sleep our whole stay. If they have more comfortable beds I would definitely consider staying at Buck Meadows in the future.
The room was very small and adjacent to a driveway to other rooms. The air conditioner made a lot of noise when we turned on the heater. Too much noise to even sleep. There was no continental breakfast. Won't stay there again
