Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite

The best part of the hotel is the guest lobby, full of activities to entertain kids and adults: the games, play tables and chill sofas are great to be while waiting for your table at the restaurant or so. Also the heated outdoor pools and play ground are fun for the kids! I like the room decor, it’s cozy and has a great size. The location of the hotel is very convenient to visit through the north entrances of Yosemite. Now the parts that need attention to details: The rooms don’t have TV and we missed that a lot to connect our streaming device and watch our shows at night. The breakfast was okay, not delicious, the egg on the buffet was dry and even the ones made to order, the eggs were small, harder than we ordered, the coffee spilled on the cup. The attendants seemed in a rush. The housekeeping did not pay attention to details, they knew I had a third person in my room and the sofa bed was not done, so I ask for extra linen and I made the bed folded. On the second day, I asked the sofa bed to be unfolded and it was not, when I did myself I found the bed was ready inside, so I left the previous linen on the floor, it was never taken away. I had to ask twice for an extra blanket. The pillows were not arranged on the bed after the first night, the bathroom sink was not wiped after my first night (to be clear, I never left my stuff on their way for cleaning the room). It lacked attention. The safe was not working, after calling maintenance, they put it back to work but with low battery, so it was not unlocking. I had to call them 3 times until I have full battery and unlocked safe with my stuff inside. The two L2 eletric car charges from charge point was always unavailable, it would be better to replace providers. Read less

me and my family were delighted with the experience of Rush Creek lodge and spa, the room was very comfortable and my daughter who was originaly complaining about the sofa bed loved it! our first day was extrodinary as we went on a 6 hour hike to the top of vernal falls (totally worth it). however our 2nd day was just as impressing but in a differant kind of way, since the storm had hit yosemite it was really snowing and we got 2 feet of snow overall. luckely berofe hand we want for a nice walk ing the snow to a waterfall near hetch hetchy. we cut our stay short because of the snow but we are currently getting a refund. overall lovely place and staff (especially in the restaurant!).

Rush Creek is located just 30 minutes from the Route 120/Tiago Road entrance. But check to see if the road is open as usually it’s closed throughout the winter until May. We lucked out and it was open April 9! Otherwise it’s a 3 hour trip to the Route 140 entrance. The hotel is nice and new. Rooms are either in the Main Lodge or in Villas scattered throughout the property. A large heated salt water pool and outdoor hot tub is at the center of the complex. S’mores are offered every evening. Large game room for the kids. Beds are reasonably comfortable. Rooms are clean and well-maintained. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Only thing is the restaurant - a little slow but service is good. Perhaps it’s the early season so not fully staffed up? Overall, highly recommend it! Read less
