Blackhawk Lodge

It's a great motel for it's price. The owner is really sweet and the room is perfect for spending the day in Yosemite.

This place is completely run down. The building is incredibly sketch and I wouldn't care to write a negative review however here's our story and you see why I'm doing this. See the pictures too. 1. I took my family to Yosemite and figured that we stay somewhere near by for $100 some bucks (that's what we usually pay for Comfort Inn or Oakhurst Lodge or Yosemite South gate hotel; at the nearby town of Oakhurst). Conclusion: I would pay not to stay at Blackhawk Lodge. 2. As we arrived around 6 pm (on time) a half naked men and a naked woman fall out from one of the room and started just walking around the men's truck enjoying what looked like a cigarette/joint after a quick shack up. At this point I called Priceline dot com to cancel the reservation since I wasn't going to stay in a brothel with my young child and wife that night. 3. They wouldn't want to reimburse the reservation! Seriously! After making us drive 2 hours from National Park to this god forsaken place! 4. The curious staff? maybe owner? came out to see what the commotion was (and the naked couple from above went back into the room). The staff woman opened a door to another room - and let me tell you: it did not look enticing at all... mind you all of that for like $110! 5. Just look at the pictures i quickly snapped while we were driving away from there. Place is a joke!

Can't give 0 stars! This place is DISGUSTING! Burnt outlets, missing lightbulbs, no toilet paper, carboard on the walls, a grocery store paper bag for a trashcan... oh and the bed had bedbug feces. The lady at the desk argued with me when I told her we weren't staying there because of the bedbug feces (I showed her a picture) but she refunded my card and we left. I took a pic of the bed, then my phone died. Now that my phone is charged and I took screenshots of my boyfriend's snapchat, here you go...I booked the reservation on Booking.com and the lady marked me down as a NO SHOW. I have the check in receipt and the refund receipt to show I DID IN FACT CHECK IN but the place was so DISGUSTING I refused to stay there and she refunded my card.I'm all for mom and pop businesses, but if you're going to argue with me about how clean your rooms are (Obviously they weren't clean!), we're gonna have some word exchanges. I told her I've worked in hotels before and I know what the beginning infestations of bedbugs look like. She argued with "NO! WE DON'T HAVE BEDBUGS! MAYBE THE PLACE YOU WORKED AT HAD THEM!" OK lady. Don't be mad because you got caught up. DO NOT BRING YOUR FAMILY HERE. Hell, I was surprised that a tick didn't hitch a ride on my clothing!

We have stayed here several times and have always been taken care of by Christine. When other places wanted to charge $200 or more per night she was the most reasonable. If you looking for the Taj Mahal, then don't stay here duh. Complaint after complaint is because of the amenities, well then don't stay at a "Motel" and expect a 5 star service. If your looking for staying on a budget, in a place that has the owner on site and it will be quiet with no parties, safe and friendly then this is the place to stay. Plus you get microwave, fridge, coffee, WiFi, TV etc. And your car is right upfront of your room. There are several Hotels/Motels around the area but this is where we stay when in Coarsegold. Bottom line, it is inexpensive and she just remodeled the rooms and bathrooms. Keep up the good work Christine :)

ZERO STARS! It took me a long time to write this review because I was so embarrassed that I actually spent a night at this dump. When we got to the hotel it was already early evening. We were horrified when we saw the room. It stunk like stale cigarettes, although I think it is because the place is so old. It appeared somewhat dirty, very old and furnished with stuff you would see at a thrift store. We wanted to leave, but there were no openings anywhere else in the area, which is fairly remote. We had to stay the night. We had already paid for 3 nights, but the owner refunded my money for 2 of them when I told her I couldn't stay there. She was understanding, which was appreciated. You can tell they tried, somewhat, to make it comfortable and clean, although they were not very successfiul. Newer tile floors and newer paint, although it was a very poor paint job and all the work looked like it had been done by amateurs. Much work was unfinished. Bed linen and towels appeared and smelled clean. Bed turned out to be fairly comfortable, although I don't think I slept a wink. We saw one cockroach in the bathroom, on the coffee pot! The lady owner responded to my review on Booking.com to let me know that cockroaches don't live in the area and that it must be a cricket. I know a cockroach when I see one.The worst---we scoured the beds and linens for bedbugs and didn't see any evidence. However, I found one in my bed in the morning! The owner also responded to this comment on Booking.com to let me know "In terms of bedbugs, each stage of a bed bug's life is approximately a week thus if you checked in late and left at first light then they should have been found when you actively searched for them." Uh huh.We left very early in the morning. My teenager refused to sleep in the room and slept in the car. I wish I had too. Breakfast was not included as stated in the listing, but we wouldn't have wanted to eat there anyway. Here's the thing, we are not snobs. We can handle older and outdated accommodations, as long as they are clean. This was not. I would've liked a refund for the one night I ended up paying for, but we left at first light and the owner was not up. Do yourself a favor and keep on driving!

Motel was aged, expensive, dirty, it looks like they did not change bed clothing. Equipment inside is aged. I would avoid it

One bar of soap for 2 people who have been at Yosemite all day!! My dad and I decided to drive up to Yosemite last minute to see the ragging rivers and waterfalls. Black Hawk Lodge was the only place available for less than $350 on a Sat. night. Tired and hot, we rolled into the lodge. Check in was nice, no aromas..We got into Room 6 and we both looked at each other. It was hot, dark, and was the lowest end motel I'd ever stayed at. Grateful to have a place to stay, we immediately went to turn on the AC. You have to plug everything in- even the refrigerator!No shampoo, conditioner, body soap, lotion, tissues or anything, except one bar of soap (stuff for coffee was in there though)! We washed our hands w it and stupidly, I forgot my body wash and used the bar in the shower too! The bar is now back at the bathroom sink- hope it lasts!My reasons for a 2 since the above makes a 2 seem ridiculous:Easy access- right of 41Cheaper place to stay- grateful for thatPet friendlyEasy parkingShower was old, but worked wellBed, better than expectedWon't stay again for $95, but may consider for $39.99 and if I'm not itchy tomorrow!

Everything!! The room was 92° with the air conditioner on. Customer service is nonexistent and even abusive! There were flies and spiders in the bathroom, as well as food in the fridge, but the cherry on top was someone's insulin syringe! My wife and I immediately left and went to Chukchansi, where we paid double and were happy about it!

Received extremely rude email messages from them calling me an old, grumpy, lonely woman! They had never even met me and we hadn't yet stayed at their resort. We cancelled before ever staying. Staff was rude when I tried to discuss matter over the phone.

The price was decent but this hotel is in major need of repairs. The ceiling fan didnt work, the walls were bare, floor boards were missing. This hotel could do well with a renovation, especially when the casino hotel is completely booked.
