This hotel is a hidden gem. It's in one of the closest towns to Yosemite and it's so cool. The town has everything you need. Multiple restaurants, grocery store, coffee shop, etc. The hotel dates back to 1921 and the California Gold Rush days. The rooms are quaint, comfortable and clean. There is food onsite and they routinely have music and drinks in the back patio area. The proprietors genuinely care about their visitors, always checking in and in our case, one of us was dumb enough not to use enough sun screen in Yosemite and one of the proprietors provided aloe with lidocaine. Many Thanks!!!! Please include this place in your next visit to Yosemite, you won't be disappointed.

Hotel Charlotte feels like home. The team is incredibly hospitable and welcoming. Located just 30 minutes away from the Yosemite park entrance, access to the stunning Sierra landscape is quite literally in Hotel Charlotte's backyard. We stayed here for our Honeymoon and were so glad to come home to Hotel Charlotte after a long day's hike and definitely enjoyed grabbing a bite at the delicious hotel restaurant. If you're looking to plan a Yosemite vacation, don't skip Groveland, and definitely check out Hotel Charlotte!

One night stay and wished we had more nights to stay longer. A fun boutique hotel retaining a lot of it characteristics from 1921 when it was built. Checkin was efficient and friendly. Stairs only to the second floor, so we traveled light. Full bar and dining available with a patio in the back.Dinner was great and the prices are exciting, dining in the Yukon last summer was a bargain. Room was comfortable with a claw foot bathtub/shower. Door was auto-lock so always have the key near by.Great hotel and town if you are visit Yosemite.

We JUST got back from our second stay at the hotel. We love it there. The food and drink: incredible. The accommodations: perfect for our needs. The owner could not be friendlier...and there are so many nooks to raise a glass and relax. They are also COMPLETELY dog friendly. And all day tea, coffee, and extras. Cannot recommend enough.

Heading home after spending the weekend at Hotel Charlotte. So much fun and such a cute place. It is a 100 year plus hotel with much charm and beauty, and the owners Finn and his beautiful wife are the perfect hosts. We felt very welcome and taken care of. A good night sleep is always really important for me and the bed and pillows were so comfortable. We slept really well. Our room and bathroom was clean and neat. It is a historic building, so don't expect a spa bathroom, but we were still very happy with it and it had everything we needed. Be sure to check out their restaurant as well, Charlotte's Tavern. Best food in town! Also, the staff is super friendly. We had a great time with talking with them. We felt like old friends being welcome back by Finn and his staff, even though it was our first time. We will definitely be back.

Thank you for our great weekend experience.

We really love Hotel Charlotte. We first stopped in for dinner on our way home from a backpacking trip in Yosemite in 2022. The Pliny on tap (not available Summer 2024) absolutely made our day! The food was delicious, and the outdoor beer garden was just the vibe we were looking for after 5 days on the trail. This MLK weekend we finally booked a room and added "great place to stay" to our opinion of the establishment. Clean, comfortable, welcoming, charming and steps away from a great coffee place (Top of the Trail) made it our new place to stay after hiking. Book Room 14! And Finn the owner is fully invested in your enjoyment of everything.

This review is based strictly on Finn and his unexpected customer service and understanding. I thought I had a great plan of taking the wife to watch the famous Yosemite firefall for valentine weekend and stay at Hotel Charlotte after. Well Mother Nature had other plans, it was overcast so there was no fire on the falls that sunset & it got quite cold making my wife feel under the weather. She just wanted to go home at this point. Leaving Yosemite we attempted to call and let Hotel Charlotte we won't being staying with them, not looking for a refund but simply out of courtesy, but there was zero cell reception. So driving back to Stockton I mentioned we will be passing right by the hotel, so we could stop by and let them know in person. And we were so glad we did. The hotel looked so cool very clean and nicely restored building that I bet has some amazing history to it. There is a nice gathering area in the back next to guest parking, a cool looking bar when you walk in and Finn gave us a very warm welcome. He asked if everything was ok and why we are not staying, after our story Finn unexpectedly went above and beyond credited us for a stay in the future and wishing my wife a speedy recovery. Thank you so much Finn and we are definitely planning something as I write this review.

Due to an unforeseen hot flash, I had to bail on camping and find a room for the night. Finn was an exceptional chap who helped me find somewhere - alas he was all full up. 100% would recommend as he was so nice and friendly.Having provided such wonderful help, I returned and booked 2 nights. I couldn't be happier. The outside beer garden is small and intimate and the food was delicious.

My family and I always make a point to stop in at least once when we visit the Yosemite area. The Charlotte is a living breathing reminder of 19th century mountain social gathering and hospitality. The food is always top notch and the cocktails five star delights without the big city prices. Make sure to say hello to Finn and Alexandria, proprietors extraordinaire.
