This Lodge location is incredibly convenient for accessing Yosemite, with nearby coffee shops, grocery stores, and restaurants. Additionally, the staff is exceptionally friendly and courteous.
However, I am giving this lodge a three-star rating due to a few inconveniences I encountered during my stay. Firstly, the bathroom doors are sliding and open into the room, which means that you can smell everything when someone is using the bathroom or showering. Secondly, there are only two lights in the entire room, which proves insufficient for adequate lighting, and there is just one night lamp.
Moreover, one major issue I forgot to mention is the hot water situation. To get hot water in the shower, you must run the water for a frustrating 10 to 15 minutes. It appears that the water heater is located far from the room, which is not only inconvenient but also a waste of water and money for the property. If you're in a hurry and need to take an early morning shower or a late-night one, be prepared to wait.
Lastly, the breakfast offered was below average and did not meet my expectations. Overall, while the location and staff were great, the room's amenities and breakfast could use significant improvements.
