Groveland hotels

Excellent location - actually located in Buck Meadows instead of Groveland (10 miles away). There is no cell service and the location is very quiet. Beautiful views all around and less than an hour from Yosemite. Restaurant next door - excellent burgers!! Gas and General Store on other side of hotel with all the conveniences you would want. The room itself was very clean, roomy and had all one could want in a hotel. The price was also excellent for the location. I would - without a doubt - stay here again.

Nice pleasant inn. The host is excellent. Located near pool and in a good location.

I quite liked the wrap-around porches with places to sit, the named rooms and the amenities within the room. Delightful breakfast; we each received "coupons" and could order from the menu. I loved the proximity of the "oldest saloon in California." Groveland was a small mountain town with a large park area - children's playground, picnicing, toilets. The next morning we really liked the book sale that the library was having. We liked the reading room in the hotel; it had a lot of atmosphere. If we happened to be passing through Groveland, CA again, we would stay at the Groveland Hotel.

When we arrived at 9:00 at night they had no record of our reservation. The new girl at the front desk was polite and apologetic. She called in someone with more experience to help - he was unable to find it. They had no yurts available but offered a "bunkhouse" which is just indoor camping. Cute little cabin with beds only (no linens). Fortunately we were prepared to camp in Yosemite for two nights as well so we had our camping gear or we would have been in real trouble. However, there was no where to get ice and we were expecting a Yurt with a fridge. We had 4 days of meals in a cooler and I had to drive 30 minutes to get ice. The next morning we tried to sort it out, but they still had no record of our reservation. We got the feeling this happens with online reservations frequently. Various staff members indicated that their computer system/booking software were inadequate. The morning staff was not helpful. I had to witness a horrible altercation where a woman on staff (who claimed she was a manager) actually started to get in the face of a guest who was trying to verify a booking. He asked for Connie who I had also been told could sort out my reservation. But this woman claimed to be Connie's boss before basically yelling at him. The guest remained polite. If you decide to brave this place - MAKE SURE you call them directly ahead and verify they have you booked. I never saw a yurt, but I'm sure they were clean because the housekeeping staff at least was amazing!

We just returned from a stay at Evergreen lodge over the long weekend. The lodge cabin was great and well equipped. The pool and hot tub were well kept. The pool area gets a little overrun by kids so dont expect to get laps in on a busy weekend. There were lots of actitivties for kids. Smores every evening! Activity center and more. The staff was fun and friendly. The onsite restaurant was very good. We will be back again!
