Conveniently located outside Yosemite National Park. Large room with small kitchen and a balcony looking over the river. Nice for relaxing after a long day in the park. There is a jacuzzi but it was unusable because the drain plug was broken. It was disappointing!

Room was clean. Nice kitchenette area. Great little grocery store off the lobby. Only complaint was the window blinds. Couldn’t get the room dark at night. Lights from outside shown in. They need to upgrade their window coverings.

Great location, we had a kitchenette and balcony with a beautiful river view, a nice landing spot after a day hiking in the park. Whipped up a couple easy meals, including breakfasts for an early departure to Yosemite. Easy drive in to most places. Bed was good, shower was wimpy, but overall we were really happy with our accommodations. The pizza on site was great, and so cheesy that we managed 2 meals out of it with a salad. We’d definitely recommend, especially when it’s so hard to get lodging in the park. We did not ever find time for the pools or hot tubs, but they looked nice.

Convenient stay to Yosemite NP entrance - could even see the official park sign from the parking lot. Clean room. Paid extra for the river view and loved the sight and sound of the river from our private balcony. Well worth it! Staffing for the restaurant seemed to be an issue. I would stay here again.
