Western Holiday Lodge

It took 3 people to get me checked in. I didn’t find the interaction very pleasant. I let the 1st person know I was checking in and the response was ID and credit card, there was no how can I help you or explanation for why the CC was needed. The group worked together to get me checked in. After I received my key I was told where my room was and that was the end of the interaction. There were no details provided for breakfast, check out or anything. There is no elevator, only narrow wooden stairs. The overall room was ok. The bathroom could’ve been cleaner, one of the mini lotions was already used. The shampoo and conditioner smelled really good. The fridge was loud. The heat did not smell super pleasant. The beds were decent, they were on the harder side. The light switch inside the door controls the light over the bathroom sink 🤣 Overall this is a good place to sleep if you’re planning an early sequoia trip and not trying to spend more than you need to.

Old, Dirty and BEDBUGS Unfortunately, we had to rebook to this hotel at short notice. The rooms seemed old but okay. I noticed some long dark hair in the towels. However, when I was falling asleep, I noticed an insect. At first, I thought it was an isolated case, but then I saw another one. BEDBUGS. Judging by the reviews, it seems this problem has existed for some time. Disgusting! I really hope we didn't bring any home, as we immediately put our suitcases in our car. Absolutely not recommended!

The location is 40 min drive from Yosemite entrance. We've hoped for larger restaurant variety but unfortunately some were closef/very slow. Dated rooms, could use some renovation. Didn't have a special view so can't comment. Rooms were kept clean and the a/c was great.

Location is the only reason you'd want to stay here. Rooms are big, floors are hard surface (not sure if it was wood or vinyl). The room was dirty and I saw a cockroach running around! 🤢 Water pressure in the shower is very poor and it takes a good 5 minutes until warm water starts to flow!

Place is fairly good for the price compared with the other overly expensive motels in the area. I'd give it a 3/5 stars but the price is better than most in the area and it is not to far of a distance from the national park entrance. There's plenty of parking. And up the street there's a lot of food options. Employees are nice and helpful. No roaches in the bedroom. The showers have that net guard to reduce the amount of water flow. The warm/cold water only lasts 5 min and then the water flows out to almost nothing. You have to keep it on hot. The cold air works great. The rest of the room is not the most attractive quality, but what do you expect? I'm just using this to sleep in before I go out to the park. If they're not going to maintain the pool in 90⁰+ degree weekend weather, then remove the pool entirely from the property. There were dozens of bugs in the water, and more bugs in the spa PLUS a huge roach floating on the water. I doubt they drain the pool to clean it. Yuck. Bed sheets were clean and no sign of bed bugs. Free wifi that's strong enough to play TV shows on Netflix. The Sunset Point with the river/lake is a VERY beautiful place to see during sunset. Just a few min down the road.
