"My stay at the Evergreen Lodge was a mixed bag. Pros.. All of the staff were very kind and grounds beautiful. The recreation center and restaurant a definite plus and proximity to Yosemite without staying in the park wonderful. My room had a fridge, safe, tea kettle, and coffee maker. Cons… I stayed in one of the “vintage” cottages, the bed was creaky and very uncomfortable so I did not sleep well the week I stayed. The smell of the cleaning products they used were so strong I had to open the windows and door for 2 hours upon entry to make it bearable. I called before booking and asked if they use hypo allergenic detergents and the front desk staff didn’t know but said the pillows are hypo allergenic so the detergent probably is. Unfortunately it was not. Fortunately I was driving from home and was able to bring my own linens just in case. The room itself was not as clean as it could have been, the top of the fridge covered in dust, the curtain to the closet had a spider web clutch (the pouch spiders make for their eggs) which told me it had been there awhile. Overall for $270 a night - the room was not worth it. The store had many items that were gluten free and vegan friendly but beware nothing is priced and it was $17.25 for a box of crackers and small tub of hummus. Before I left I did ask to check out the glamping set ups, as they have new pillow top mattresses and they were quite nice. I would stay again but will avoid the rooms until they get new mattresses."

"This place turned out to be very loud. People out side on the bottom floor until 11:30 pm talking in loud voices. We were put on the 2nd floor with a elder dog of 11 years. They said the was all that was available??"

"It was after dark when we checked in we checked in . After we unpacked we discovered there were black ants on the kitchen counter top - we killed about twenty. Went out to get some food and came back and found more ants. Called the main desk and they sent someone to spray the kitchen area. Wife went to bed and I was trying to sign- on to the internet and saw something moving in the room - it was a lizard. Also saw more ants. Went to the front desk to complain (they did move us to a different room) but they made excuses - "well we are in a forest area", etc. Also complained about not being able to sign on to the internet ( they scoffed (one of them actually chuckled) and said it must be my laptop - have NEVER had a problem anywhere else!). New room was cleaner (no ants) but had hair in the bath tub drain and the utensils and some plates were not clean (same as we found in the original room - plus the sponge they give to wash plates and utensils - no dishwasher- was a used one). For what we paid I would gladly pay more to stay inside the park or ANY WHERE ELSE."

"A quiet, private and peaceful location with very responsive staff. Our stay was great!"

"There was no cell service, but wifi worked. We got a room with a small kitchenette and it was covered in ants, ruining our food and making it impossible to use. The electricity went out for a few hours one morning."

"We enjoyed our stay at the property. There was some minor inconvenience due to some ongoing construction around our building although it was very minor. Our room was comfortable, clean and quiet. The bedding was fresh and there was an abundance of hot water. A microwave would have been nice. We particularly like the fact that the AC was not very intrusive as we had it running 24/7. Check in was easy and the grounds were cared for nicely. The desk staff were not the most outgoing but were helpful. We only stayed 2 nights and brought most of our own food based on some of the dining reviews. We did take out some burgers and floats from the ice cream parlor which were a treat. Several of the staff there were exchange students from Thailand and were very enthusiastic about their experiences there in the valley. All in all we had a pleasant experience and would stay there again. "

"If you get a room from Expedia / you get the lowest room at the hotel. We got stuck in the corner next to the air-conditioner unit that cooled the entire building, super loud and they said I could change ( after standing in line almost 45 minutes again) new room faced a wall / literally looked out the window into a wall. You get the worst room all because we booked on hotels.com (Expedia). We left after one night / zero refund"

"Great place! I usually van camp but this trip I did not. Great value, fun property, great fire pits and on site amenities, cool staff, Dave at the bar in the Sierra? Winning"

"The room was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great place to stay. The food at the Jackelopes restaurant was expensive for below average food."
