This hotel is very old and in bad condition. The grout around the bathroom tub was moldy and the rooms etc aren’t very clean. Hair in the sheets when we tried to go to bed. Also the food at the restaurant was absolutely terrible. I don’t recommend this place at all. Even when you mention the issues to property staff they could care less. Will never stay there again and will warn everyone I know not to stay there either.

Great location & amenities!

Great general store open until 11pm to stock up for your park visit. Pizza restaurant onsite and breakfast buffet (not included) were delicious & convenient. This hotel is right outside of Yosemite NP so you can’t beat the location.

This was the perfect place to stay while sightseeing in Yosemite for a couple of days. It's only a couple of miles form one of the western entrances whish was really nice. The rooms were nice and the views of the river from our balcony were stunning. It was nice having pools and hot tubs to relax after a long in the park. We enjoyed the restaurants, especially the breakfast buffet.
