Yosemite Gold Country Lodge

The hotel was closed with warent as un safe place at the 6.7.2022. Trip com still show that it can get reservations and send pepole to loos fuel and time to get to this place. No answer from them about refund or compensation 3 days already passed.

My husband and I stayed here for one night after a travel day. It is about 1 hr 30 minutes outside of Yosemite National Park, though much cheaper compared to hotels I saw that are closer to the park. The drive to this hotel was a lot of fun on "55 mph" roads. The hotel is interesting to look as it has a Buddha and Hindu Gods to look at. It also some interesting things in the lobby. The hotel room had a toaster, coffee pot, microwave and refrigerator. It also had an electric fireplace. The lighting was dim. The tub drained slowly. Breakfast was advertised as "continental" on *******, but I would hardly call it breakfast. It had cereal, bread and fruit. I had to eat my cereal with a fork because no other silverware was available and the front desk didn't come when we rang the bell a few times.

My stay here was not ideal. I was traveling alone and booked via Groupon. My check-in was rough but I looked past that. My room was clean but the door was difficult to operate and I was never really sure if it was locked. There was no service in this area and WiFi provided was spotty at best. I was woken up both nights of my stay by residents yelling very late into the night. The man who worked here was trying to be friendly but ultimately creeped me out as I was a solo female traveler and he would stop what he was doing to come talk to me every time I left my room. If I had not been on a budget, I would have left and stayed elsewhere. Overall, this lodge made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable and I would not recommend it, even if you are on a budget.
