Pluses: closest hotel to Yosamite gates, plenty of parking, nice and helpful staff, large room, nice beds, nice fireplace. Minuses: room badly in need of renovation, entry door had 1 inch gap and missing gasket, kitchen stove top barely hot to be able to cook, ants in bathroom, no exhaust or heating element in bathroom. Hotel's restaurant way overpriced due to lack of competition. Definitely not worth the price.

As our first time in Yosemite.. the location is perfect! It was only a few minutes from the entrance. I preferred it as it was next to the water!!! I loved seeing the creek everyday from the balcony. So peaceful and quiet ! The room itself is spacious with a kitchenette- perfect for a couple. We made our breakfasts and even dinner in the room. Overall it was clean and lovely staff. The only downside is the condition of the bathroom. The shower curtain were so short so everytime we showered.. water got all over the bathroom.. even with the water pressure being so low. Other than that, it was overall good for the price 👍

Loved how the property is just outside the park boundary. We also loved being right next to the Merced river. The rooms are comfortable and clean, although seem a bit worn. We had a couple issues like getting the heater to work, but the staff was very responsive in helping us with all our questions. Dining was limited to just the hotel restaurants where the service was pretty slow

We got the nicest room in the place and holyshit it was worth it. The hot tub in the room by the window watching the stars! The kitchen was great. The shower was huge with multiple shower heads. I may have used most of Cali’s water supply for the month of November. The daily drive to the park was quick. Haley serving beers and food in the restaurant was super sweet. Bravo to all!
