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.

It was nice to be close to Yosemite National Park. Room was clean but needed a few items fixed. We did not have a screen on our door to the patio. The tub was huge which was great but the jets did not work. The breakfast at the restaurants were only buffet which we would have liked to have some ala carte

The location was Exceptional! We were just a few minutes from the park entrance. Loved that we were able to offset the cost of the room with cooking in the room a bit for breakfast and late dinner. The room was spacious and quiet. We heard the restaurant onsite was good but didnt have time to try it. What could be better was the internet was terrible and pretty much unuseable for even a simple lookup.

The kitchenette is clean and convenient, and the amenities are very good. However, the room I stayed in was missing a screen door for the sliding balcony door, so I couldn’t open it for fresh air. Other than that, it was a nice stay.
