Great fro family trip

Liked the staffs, environment, the room and the amenities, nearby the river and close to the Yosemite west entrance. Poor wifi, no phone signal, old chairs, bad TV graphics.

Octavino, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good place to use as base to Yosemite

Plus: Great location. Fast check in and checkout. Good convenience store to get items for the hikes. Rooms were large and clean. All employees are very nice and provide a great service. Negatives: no service whatsoever during a two night stay. Breakfast is not good at all and starts late (as most of the hikers leave early to Yosemite).
Daniel, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was great. Just perfect for our family and what we needed. The outdoor pool we used was very nice--apparently there are 2 on the property PLUS an indoor one! The Game Room was pretty cool. Nice to have a bigger space to hang out in. Overall, a really good stay!
