This is our favorite spot to stay outside of Yosemite Park. We stay in one of the 2 cabins. Seasonally the restaurant attached to the hotel has good food and friendly service. There are chargers for ev cars on the property provided by Electrify America.

When we arrived to our room there was an RV taking up two parking spaces in front of our room so we had to park a ways from our room, they finaly mooved. The toilet was dirty with hair and urine behind the lid. We were woke up around midnight to something banging on the inside of the wall in the bathroom so we turnd on the AC because it was louder thand the nois coming from the bathroom. The person that check us in was very pleasant and welcoming and the restaurant serves and food was wonderful. We will stay here again if we come back this way.

Well worth the money!
Though the room we had was behind the restaurant, we still had a good view of the mountains around it. It was less than 20 minutes from the west entrance to Yosemite. It was cozy and clean, and the best room we’ve had on our two week travels. Would totally book with them again!

The property was great! Parking is right by lodging so easy to traverse with my mom who has a hard time walking every now and then. Pool and hot tub were a plus. Spacious room to relax after a long day. Staff was sweet and accommodating. 10/10!

6/10 Good

Not as good as I’d hoped
The photos are misleading- the pool is attached to a hotel next door 5 minutes walk away through a car park. The room hadn’t been cleaned properly- there was left over food in the fridge. The fridge wasn’t cold enough and the dial had been removed so you can’t adjust it. However the motel is convenient for Yosemite. The staff in the restaurant were friendly and helpful despite being very over-worked.

6/10 Good

Our room was small and noisy- a few doors from the Restaurant and right off the highway. Despite paying the $25/day dog fee, I was rudely Interrogated by someone on staff asking if I was staying at the hotel and if I had paid for my dog. Check-in/out was not friendly or helpful. “Onsite” EV charging stations were not working so we needed to drive 15 minutes to find a charge. For the price Buck Meadows Lodge is not worth it!

My family planned to visit the Yosemite National Park over the weekend. Buck Meadows Lodge was a close enough drive to the entrance of the park. The front desk was very understanding and welcoming which was very helpful for our questions about the local area.

The room and bathroom were updated and nice. I appreciated the nice shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion. There were charging outlets for cell phones, USB, etc. I liked that there was a Keurig coffee maker. Everything was nice quality.

8/10 Very good

The hotel is conveniently located and features a great restaurant offering a variety of options for both vegetarians and meat lovers, a swimming pool, and quiet, comfortable rooms. Our double-Queen room (601) was adjacent to the restaurant, but apart from some noise from the walkway, we didn't hear from the actual restaurant itself. The beds were firm yet comfortable, the bathroom was clean and spacious with plenty of hot water, and the towels were plush. We loved the large in-room mini fridge and the TV had a good selection of cable channels, including Disney. One big perk was that the nightstand had multiple USB power plugs, which were very convenient for recharging our devices after a long day at the park. Parking was extremely convenient, right in front of our room. Our only (very) minor concerns were that the room felt a bit dimly lit at times, and the AC unit was quite noisy. I'd def stay again when visiting Yosemite!

The room was clean enough and stocked well enough. It had a fridge so that was helpful for us. It is close to Yosemite. We drove in and stayed here then got up early to drive into Yosemite and beat the crowds. You have to check in at the neighboring hotel. That was slightly confusing upon arrival. That is also where the ice machine is located. So you may have to kind of plan ahead if you need ice. Otherwise it was a good stay with a super convenient location.

Great place to lay your head down after a day at Yosemite. Great diner on property! We got the king cabin and it felt like we were the only ones there (the way we like it).

6/10 Good

Clean room, comfortable beds, clean bathroom. Small room, small window, looks old, outdated, away from outdoor pool and playground area. 30 minute drive to Yosemite. Sign for check in was not big enough to see when one drives into the space. Coffee machine did not work - it was too early in the morning to ask for another since reception hours are not 24 hours. The restaurant Lucky Buck Cafe connected to the hotel had decent food - options for veg/vegans but we were put off by the flies both times we went there.

2/10 Poor

Washing machine wasn’t working (it took my money and didn’t do anything) I told the manager and he said it’s not his problem. I told him to give me the money that the machine took and he rolled his eyes. He gave me my money back after much insistence. Then one of the gentlemen working at this establishment dropped a bag of housekeeping laundry on the hood of my car from the second level. He apologized, and ordinarily I’d laugh it off but this is a level of inhospitality and unprofessionalism that deserves mentioning. Everyone has bad days, but I won’t be returning.

The location proximity to Yosemite National Park is great! After a very long day at the park we were greeted by a super friendly staff member! The room is dated however it’s clean and comfortable. We were very happy that a restaurant is located adjacent to the motel. We would recommend this to anyone who wants a clean comfortable convenient place!
