The basic loft room I got is pretty well maintained, clean and spacious. The location is very convenient to go to the Yosemite National Park. The only downside is no good food options in the area, and not a fan of the hotel restaurant. Overall a nice stay.

Very relaxing environment and great for all the family, from the heated pool, to the game room was over all a very nice place. Before going be sure to make your Yosemite reservation, or get your Yarts bus ticket the day before. I wish I had been told this, but over all everything worked out.
