There is only one reason why you are staying here .... and that is to have a bed to sleep in on a trip to Yosemite. Amenities? do they matter? they have a fire pit ... i did not see anyone using it. The lodge is managed by the same place as the lodge next door, but having a different name. Check in is next door. There is a bar/ restaurant on property looked cool, but closes early. I dont know what else to say, room was OK, nothing special. Clean but small. The trash truck came by at 8 am and sounded like they were picking up the same dumpster for 20 minutes straight waking us up. If you wake up early, it wont be a problem.

When we arrived I was concerned what the room would look like. The property needs a lot of work. It’s very rundown with buildings that need to be disposed of. The personnel were great. Very nice. Answered all our questions and offered to change our room if we we were dissatisfied. Our room was great though. The interior was spotless, bedding fresh and the bathroom was clean with plenty of available amenities. So while the outside was a little worrisome, the room itself was great. Thank you for the nice, quiet stay.

This place was honestly so cute and perfect. We went there to take a little vacation after being diagnosed with cancer, and I'm so glad we did. 10-15 minutes from the entry to Yosemite, 30-40 minutes to Hetch Hetchy, and everything was just gorgeous. The restaurant was good - good food, great service, with a cute lil gift shop. I do wish the store it looks like they used to have was open, but that's okay. Overall, definitely a repeat stay for us.

We recently stayed at Buck Meadows Lodge from Thursday, July 31st to Friday, August 1st. I have never said this to a hotel in a lifetime of hotel stays. We checked in around 9:00 p.m. after dinner. We were exhausted from a day of hiking and all we wanted was to shower and go to bed. My wife went first and saw that the bathtub had not been cleaned. It was actually dirty, grimy and had hair. She had to use a soapy washcloth to wipe the bathtub clean. As I said, I have never seen this in my lifetime, arriving at a hotel with a dirty bathtub. It is disgusting and unacceptable.

This was probably the worst booking I have ever made. Location is nice, close to Yosemite. However, it already has a late check in at 4:30 and they weren't ready until 5:00. When I mentioned the inconvenience due to having kids I was told 4:30 is “the earliest” they’re ready. When I asked if we could use the pool while we waited, I was told no, that would be a liability. Once we finally got into our hotel our TV didn’t work. They have direct TV, but ours wasn’t set up. It wasn’t glitching, the monitor was quite literally not linked. When I called the front desk I was told the tech guy leaves at 5:00, so there is nothing they could do. Yet, I didn’t even get in my room before that time. When I asked if I could switch rooms, or be reimbursed I was told there was nothing they can do. Again, I have kids. We are not an iPad family, so having no TV wasn’t great. Once we finally made it to the pool, the spa was down. This hotel is rundown and overpriced and the customer service is horrible.
