This is the perfect location and establishment to visit Yosemite National Park. There is a restaurant and pizza bar on site. There is 4 pools and plenty of parking. The rooms are spacious and clean.

The property was in a nice location, convenient access to Yosemite Valley with a nice creek in the back. The Suite we paid over $500 for was a disappoint. The shower, though spacious, was not functional. Three different shower set ups within one shower and only one can drip some water. We were told by staff that the manager was unfortunately not available and no one else knows how to make it work. Luckily, the jacuzzi was functional. The staff needs to be trained on the hotel basics. We were not impressed with the housekeeping staff either as the broiler in the unit was on when we entered. We felt the heat walking by to put items in the refrigerator and noticed the heat was coming from the broiler. Bedding was subpar, and furnishings and flooring can use some updating. Nice AC units with lots of TVs. My advice is to stick to the basic units when considering this property.

Property location is great, 25 minute drive to yosemite valley. Not a lot of food options as the restaurant was closed. Rooms are dated, bathrooms are nicely remodeled. I would recommend river view rooms.
