Nice river view one night stay

We were given lower level room which was not accessible. Room has plates and kitchen which was good as you can buy the eggs and bread from the front desk and cook it anytime. River view room was stunning and worth spending.

We loved this place, it has such a good vibe and feels very safe. Our room was fantastic, large with 2 king size beds and kitchen. We had a large terrace overlooking the River. It was exhilarating watching the water rush past. Pool was great with hot tubs and plenty of sunbeds. We are at the bar, pizzas and dough balls very reasonable. The store onsite is well stocked and gift shop has some nice bits and pieces. Will definitely stay here again, easy to get into Yosemite

This property is in a good location to Yosemite National park and is right above the Merced river — which is nice. But it was very difficult to get the temperature in the room to a comfortable level. Also there was as an annoying light on the Air conditioning unit that keep the room too bright when trying to sleep.. They need to correct this issue

Great location. Ok food

Great location and just outside the park. Very clean. Only downside is the food options. The pizza place was great. The restaurant was dated and just ok. Overpriced and you have no other choices.

From the parking lot you can see the entrance to Yosemite Nat'l Park. The staff were very nice and the store extremely convenient. The room was nice, clean and the bathroom was great. The air conditioner was very noisy. While driving to park near my room, I encountered one staff member, male with a beard, driving a golf cart in not such a safe manner. It was dark and he didn't have his lights on. As I passed him, I just mentioned that his light weren't on and he gave me a dirty look and didn't respond. He didn't seem happy, lol. Oh well. But this was a great place and would absolutely recommend it.

The location in proximity to Yosemite was excellent. The view from the balcony of the river was amazing. The room was OK. The pizza place on site was delicious. The only con was limited places to eat besides the on site restaurant.
