There was an additional charge at the site on top of what I already paid on hotels.com, they told me it was to cover taxes, when I had already paid the taxes charges

The River View restaurant at the lodge is absolutely terrible, very expensive and food is disgusting, but it is the only option for quite some distance in either direction. You're better off driving to Yosemite Village for Degnan's than eating there.
