    Pretty grounds. The front desk staff was so helpful—we thought Tioga Pass was closed again, and we would need to stay a second night before entering Yosemite, but the clerk said no, he’d just got a text from his friend— the pass was open

    Room was a bit dated but large and comfortable. Perfect location to break up our trip from Yosemite Nat. Park to Lake Tahoe. Great family restaurant 2 doors away. Called ahead to change reservation to a Handicapped room. Hotel was able to do this for us. Much appreciated!

    When I searched places to stay, the app usually shows the total price of the entire stay. I searched for 2 nights, and the app did say the price being “for 2 nights”, which wasn’t true. I used this app often, and it’s always quite accurate. Anyway, I paid the double of what I had thought would be. Maybe I missed something before I selected.

    The proximity to Yosemite National Park. There were a few places to eat in walking distance. I stayed in a cabin and didn’t use the kitchen, but there were plates, utensils, pots and pans, and other basic items for you to cook and eat.

    We hoped to check in early but the room wasn't ready and were told to come back at 1:00 so we could check in. We came back at 2:00 and there was a sign that said no one would be back at the front desk until 4:00. We also wanted to get coffee/breakfast at their cute cafe but it was closed on Tuesdays, so bad timing for us.

    The room was spacious and had things like a fridge and microwave that were nice. The location was great and the grounds were beautiful with lots of flowers and well-maintained grassy areas to sit in. We also appreciated the multi-level parking lot that made it easier to unload on the second floor.

    We stay in a cabin every year because we like that the cabins are in back of the property, away from the highway. Also, trees keep the cabins from getting too hot during the day. Fairly well equipped kitchen for preparing food.

    No outlets by the beds. These days, you need to adjust for people with cell phones, that are used for alarm clocks too. Need an outlet to charge phones and preferably some USB ports. If you can’t, at least add some of those lamps that have outlets and USB ports. We don’t need LAN phones and alarm clocks by the bedside table. That just takes up room! The sinks were really old and I had trouble opening up the faucet (pull up kind). It was very hard. Time for a little upgrading, especially the sinks.

    The location, close to Mono lake, is great. Nice to have a restaurant right on the property. Room was large, comfortable beds, quiet.

    Only real negative was the room didn’t have great lighting (no ceiling light). Otherwise, it was nice.

    Reasonably comfortable bed. Clean room. Pleasant staff. Good location to access Yosemite.

    The rate for staying felt extortionate but I think that's down to the time of year, proximity to Yosemite and lack of alternative places to stay. Still felt very expensive for a nice, but quite normal, motel.

    The Lodge is in a beautiful setting, is well looked after, and really easy to get to the Eastern entrance of Yosemite. Room was clean, beds comfortable. Lee Vining is a sweet place.

    The place could probably use some refurbishing. We also woke up early because the curtains didn't keep out the light. But overall it was good for a one night stop.

    We liked the separate bedrooms, quiet location, the spacious rooms. Checking in went smooth.
