The property has beautiful creek views looking down and Mountain Views looking up, the picture cannot describe the real beauty of the place. Our room is on 3rd floor by creek, I love the sound of raging water, it’s truly amazing place. Would come back again.

Only issue Ihad was that the map of the property did not show specifically where the pools and hot tub were- and while the map shows q fitness center, I did not discover it until the third day. A Fitness center does appear on the resort map, but I do not believe that there was any mention of it in the writeup when I was considering stying there(We stayed there basically because of th recommendation of adrien's.

The room was excellent! Comfy beds, clean space AND a little outdoor patio on the river was a definite plus! The facility is a little outdated, but the location was the best for the price, hands down. Everything we needed right outside the gate of the NP. Would happily stay here again if I was headed to Yosemite again!

Conveniently located outside Yosemite National Park. Large room with small kitchen and a balcony looking over the river. Nice for relaxing after a long day in the park. There is a jacuzzi but it was unusable because the drain plug was broken. It was disappointing!
