Evergreen Lodge Yosemite

Evergreen Lodge Yosemite

8/10 Good
"The lodge is beautiful, and the surrounding nature is absolutely amazing. We really enjoyed the peaceful environment and scenery. However, there were a couple of disappointing issues. Our room was not cleaned properly, and the rental bikes were very poor in quality. We were traveling with our kids and rented bikes to enjoy the area, but after riding just a few miles, one of the pedals completely broke. We had no choice but to push the bikes all the way back to the lodge, which was especially difficult with our children. Overall, the location and natural surroundings are wonderful, but the room cleanliness and quality of the rental bikes definitely need improvement."

"$100 deposit at check in was surprising. The desk clerk in the morning had to go up and check our room before we got our deposit back. It felt very odd."
