Friendly, efficient service all around (A+). Decent restaurant with good menu selection (including vegan!). Probably more hotel than we needed overall since we were focused solely on visiting Yosemite (so, a tad pricey for us). Nice, comfortable room, though a little noisy (room above ours, especially sounds from bathroom), and some of the electrical outlets didn’t work.

There were so many amenities available that we didn’t have time to try them all out. The game area was great during the morning quiet hours when kids were already awake, as we came from EST! The general store provided some inexpensive options for food but the restaurant was also delicious. I loved the free s’mores too.

Ritz-Carlton prices, Howard Johnson’s service. Denied deck dining without first making a reservation even though many outdoor tables were empty. Only two staff waiting and busing tables in the restaurant. Good amenities, but left wanting….

we arrived at rush creek after a long day in Yosemite and it was perfect! Very friendly check in, room nice and clean, spacious and nice balcony towards the mountain. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and it was very good. We even played at the game room and had fun! Next day we grabbed what we needed from the store to take out to the parks. You have everything you need and the whole property is beautiful. Very close to the big flat Yosemite entrance.

Perfect base for Yosemite exploration
Greeted by great staff upon arrival. Clean, comfortable room facing the pool. Food was overall good - generous portions. Great onsite store for snacks and picnic lunches. Very convenient access to Yosemite NP west entrances to Hetch Hetchy, Tioga Rd to Tuolumne Meadows, and of course down to the Valley.

Great amenities but rooms are lacking coziness and comfort. Also restaurant menu could be better, very broad. Do a few things and do it well. I love this property and honestly will return but the beds are not comfortable and the menu was subpar.

We had such an amazing stay the first time we stayed at Rush Creek Lodge a few years ago, we knew we just had to stay here again when we returned to Yosemite. Beautiful property. Our family loves how there’s so much to do from the pool, game room, outdoor play area, zip lines, and even a spa. Perfect place to unwind after a long day in the park. Conveniently close to the Big Oaks Flat entrance to the park.
