Stayed in one of the cabins for five nights. Very quiet, easy parking and friendly staff. Lucky Buck Cafe on-site was decent and reasonably priced. Good price and value for proximity to Yosemite. I would stay here again.

The room was clean and had nice amenities. Unfortunately this property had very offensive outdoor lights that they left on uselessly all night long even that ridiculous light on the porch of our cabin which we could not turn off. It made sitting on the porch horrible. You could not see a single star because of the inappropriate offensive bright outdoor lighting. HOrrible. WOuld never stay there again.

Moderately satisfied

The room was clean and pleasant. The only thing I didn't like was the front desk staff. Both the check-in and check-out staff weren't friendly or approachable.

Nice throwback type drive up motel. Clean, plenty of towels, and had the basics like a LaQuinta or Fairfield Estates. (Except no breakfast provided. )But...just a short walk to the restaurant. After being in Yosemite, it was nice to have this lodging about an hour out from the Park.

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.

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.
