Very good location esp for EV drivers!

Location wise this is a great place to stay especially if you have an EV. There is an Electrify America charging station at the hotel which we found to be invaluable when travelling in and around Yosemite. The elevation and cold ate up our battery much more than anticipated. There is also a covered YARTs stop right outside and a restaurant that's open evenings and weekends in winter that was also really handy as there's not much food wise in the surrounding area. Our almost 3 year old appreciated the play ground and the giant carved bear outside. Our beds were reasonably comfortable but we didn't sleep too well as the heating system was very noisy and came on every half hour or so. We realised that there was quite a draught coming under our door that kept cooling the room. The room was clean, including the carpets and the Deluxe room was a good size for us with our toddler and had a very comfortable sofa bed. Overall a little in need of modernisation but still a very good option near Yosemite.

What a gem!! This lodge was very updated, clean, quiet and convenient to entering Yosemite. We will stay there again!! I’m sure the pool and hot tub are opening in the spring and summer, but they were not in the winter. They also have a great playground area for kids. I’d rate this an 11 out of 10

One of the best places to stay !

We loved staying at the YWL. It is conveniently located very close to the Big Oak Flat entrance. Our room was great, super-good amenities (wi-fi, USB charging), easy/fast check-in and check-out, great food at the Luck Buck Cafe next door (lots of vegetarian/vegan options !).. I would say it was part of the reason we had such a great trip to Yosemite !

Hotel rooms are pretty updated which is a plus but the service needs a huge improvement. No one is ever at the front desk. You have to wait for them to come out from the back office or say hello. Wifi is pretty bad as well. Goes in and out quite often. The blow dryer in our room was broken as it was only blowing out cold air, mind you, we are in December and the outside temperature was about 30°. My wife called the front desk for about 10 minutes from the room and no one ever answered. Then she called the main number and after several tries, we reached someone only to tell us that the maintenance person had already left and they’d see if there was something they could do. We never heard back. The least they could have done is given us access to an empty room to use it since the dryers are attached to the wall. Lastly, 2 of the towels left had stains on them and since they dont answer the phones, i had to drive in the cold rain to the office to get fresh towels. Besides those issues, it went pretty well for 2 nights.

The outdoor temperature was around 40F. I booked this hotel because this is the nearest one to west entrance of the Yosemite park. We were first assigned to Room 204, the heater was able to turn on, it was warm yet not blowing any hot air out. I told the front desk about the problem then he gave us room 305. The heater was not able to turn on at all. The front desk guy said that the AC unit was new, I should reset the power cord button. I did reset the button and unplug /replug the power cord. It was still now working. I asked the front desk to come with me and check it himself. He said that he is not allowed to leave front desk, and he is not maintenance guy. I said that I have to cancel the reservation if there is no heat. He said, “you can’t cancel reservation, I will just give you another room.” He did come with me to room 305 and found out that the heater was not able to turn on even after he set the temperature to 80F. He said that the temperature need to be set at least a few degrees higher than the target temperature. He opened the front cover of the heater and I found it full of dirt. We tried Room 401 and the AC/heater was working. I had been to the front desk 3 times. For Two times that I had to wait there for a good 5-10 minutes after ringing the bell till he came down from upstairs. My son tried to order something warm for dinner at 7pm. However the nearby restaurant in the same block was closed. We end up just eat some cold snacks.
