I told management two days in a row we were getting no wifi in our room and the maid had not come to clean or change towels but they never fixed the problem. Management was gruff and unresponsive.

This place was honestly so cute and perfect. We went there to take a little vacation after being diagnosed with cancer, and I'm so glad we did. 10-15 minutes from the entry to Yosemite, 30-40 minutes to Hetch Hetchy, and everything was just gorgeous. The restaurant was good - good food, great service, with a cute lil gift shop. I do wish the store it looks like they used to have was open, but that's okay. Overall, definitely a repeat stay for us.

We recently stayed at Buck Meadows Lodge from Thursday, July 31st to Friday, August 1st. I have never said this to a hotel in a lifetime of hotel stays. We checked in around 9:00 p.m. after dinner. We were exhausted from a day of hiking and all we wanted was to shower and go to bed. My wife went first and saw that the bathtub had not been cleaned. It was actually dirty, grimy and had hair. She had to use a soapy washcloth to wipe the bathtub clean. As I said, I have never seen this in my lifetime, arriving at a hotel with a dirty bathtub. It is disgusting and unacceptable.

This was probably the worst booking I have ever made. Location is nice, close to Yosemite. However, it already has a late check in at 4:30 and they weren't ready until 5:00. When I mentioned the inconvenience due to having kids I was told 4:30 is “the earliest” they’re ready. When I asked if we could use the pool while we waited, I was told no, that would be a liability. Once we finally got into our hotel our TV didn’t work. They have direct TV, but ours wasn’t set up. It wasn’t glitching, the monitor was quite literally not linked. When I called the front desk I was told the tech guy leaves at 5:00, so there is nothing they could do. Yet, I didn’t even get in my room before that time. When I asked if I could switch rooms, or be reimbursed I was told there was nothing they can do. Again, I have kids. We are not an iPad family, so having no TV wasn’t great. Once we finally made it to the pool, the spa was down. This hotel is rundown and overpriced and the customer service is horrible.
