The room was clean and neat, nothing fancy but the quaintness aligned with the theme of the hotel. The location is excellent, downtown is a block away, easy walking distance to restaurants. I’d definitely stay here again when I’m back in the area!

A little hard to find the office to check in. It's the office of the hotel across the street. Would be helpful to have more signs saying that on property. Once found, check in was a breeze. Great location for Yosemite National Park.

Location was great to explore all the state parks near by. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was adequate for all tastes.
The property is in need of some TLC. Rooms were clean but overall the property looked a bit run down. The small pool area was filthy. Pool was dirty and there was beer caps and bottles on the deck when we went up to use the pool on Friday.

There was construction being done on the upper floor just above our rm that was supposed to stop at a certain time which did not. My husband had to go and tell them to stop pounding . Also the side bed table lights were not working . Breakfast was good. Staff was nice . Parking good . Hotel close to main town and police dept next door.

Small redone 'mom & pop" motel next to a larger historic hotel. They co-share the check-in and breakfast. Breakfast is typical continental, no real protein but they do have the waffle maker, and hard boiled eggs. Good for the price to stay one quick nite. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

The room was spotless, and the breakfast was excellent. My only recommendation would be the parking lot. It was a tight fit, if you got back even slightly late you may not get a spot even though you’re staying at the hotel.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover” is the best way to describe Hotel Lumberjack. From the road it looks like a tired old motel BUT the newly remodeled room was excellent! Walk in shower, comfortable bed with great sheets and plenty of places to put our travel supplies. The decor was quaint just like the town of Senora. Parking was great. The hotel is close to the downtown area and we were able to walk to a restaurant. Staff was super helpful. Only downside in our opinion was breakfast. No protein items. Cold cereal, instant oatmeal, muffins and waffle maker. Coffee was fine.
