We had a little problem at check in, but it was quickly fixed. We loved our room and the amenities. One of our favorite moments was the coffee service in the lobby. It was self-serve, but clean, fast, and no lines! The staff was very nice and helpful.

My family had a pleasant stay with our pup. The room was clean and the property was nice with many trees, 2 swimming pool options (indoor and outdoor), friendly and accommodating staff, and a restaurant on the property with a great breakfast and lunch/dinner options. It hit all the marks we needed for a good and comfortable stay near Yosemite.

Definitely a MINUS not a BW plus!

The ac was NOT on in common areas and temp was 93, no shower chairs available, room stunk like old and stale smoke. Ac/ heat unit and bathroom fan LOUD! Big dead bug right in middle of floor. Water was barely above Luke warm at sink and tub. Place was dirty, the bedding and towels stunk!
