    This hotel is run by very nice people that provide an outstanding experience. Groveland has a lot of good resources for food coffee and a saloon for evening entertainment. It is also reasonably close to Yosemite to be able to drive in for a hike but some back to a comfortable hotel afterwards.


    Cozy and friendly; felt like a local.

    My mom and I stayed at the Hotel Charlotte for one night and we had a great experience. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. Our room was exactly what we were expecting. The only catch with the room was controlling the temperature. The hotel has central heat, but it isn't controlled in each room. We had to ask the front desk to turn down the heat in general because it was as hot as a sauna in our room. Now, having said that, there are individual heaters in each room, which worked out great in the end. We had both our dinner and breakfast at the restuarant in the hotel and the food was outstanding.....Especially dinner! We were both pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food that was offered. The following morning we came downstairs for breakfast (which is included in the price of the room) and had a fantastic assortment of juice, grains and yogurt and then we were served eggs, potatoes and sausage. We would be happy to go back to the Hotel Charlotte again!


    Lovely stay

    The innkeeper let us check in earlier and gave us upgrade to a larger room, which was wonderful. This is a great, low-key, and relaxing place to stay when visiting Yosemite, although a little far when heading back after a full day of hiking. I like being in a small town and the food options were superior to Yosemite. Would definitely recommend Hotel Charlotte!
