Jade

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When we first checked in around 5pm, one of the two rooms we booked did not have heater or TV service. However, the front desk staff did not want to change room for us even though there were many rooms available. She first told us someone would come one hour later. After one hour and 30min, no one showed up and the front desk was also closed for a while. It was until three hours later another staff brought in a portable heater and fixed the TV. Eventually our room was changed to the next room which had working heater. The room condition and the slow service was just not acceptable.

This property is ideally located near the entrance to Yosemite. It's a lovely, quaint, old fashioned lodge that fits perfectly with the surrounding. The rooms could use a refresh.) There's a similar restaurant next door with really good food at reasonable prices. I highly recommend.
