30 min drive to Yosemite valley, 1 hour drive to Mariposa grove. No cell phone signal. Fee for Wi-Fi. In room refrigerator, microwave, burners, utensils, plates very convenient. Convenience store in lobby is great. Free coffee in lobby is better than the in room coffee. Neighbors and highway traffic can be noisy but only for short times.

The lodge is very convenient if you are planning on going to Yosemite as it is only 5 minutes away from the entrance. The staff is wonderful and the store in the lobby is excellent. It has everything you could possibly need.

Location is hard to beat. The tents are close together. So if you are a light sleeper, this is not for you.

Nice place and nice people but when you pay a good amount for a hotel room you don't expect to get dinged $10 for Wi-Fi. And that's only good for two devices.
