Solid Stay Near Yosemite

outdoor poolhot tubcoin laundrylarge room
I was pleased with the amenities. The lodge had an outdoor pool and a hot tub. I also appreciated the coin laundry (very convenient). A restaurant is right next door. The room was very large, enough space for four people and suitcases.
The room was not available until 4:30 p.m. even though check-in was at 4 p.m. I was offered a different room, but this delay was slightly inconvenient.
