Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel itself was very comfortable and clean. The bed was comfortable. A little dated but we kinda like that charm. The pool was clean.
Con: All the dinning options in the area were obnoxiously expensive. Next time we will be eating noodle cups in the room lol.
But I’d totally stay here again.
Nice place, good location, good AC. The refrigerator wasn't plugged in and the remote to the TV didn't work but the woman at the front desk helped me out. She was great.
Room was very clean and comfortable. No frills, but wasn’t expecting much. All vending machines out of order. Pretty pathetic coffee station - didn’t use. Otherwise no complaints.

Cute place in a cute town
Great location, easy parking and Sven in the office was super nice and helpful with directions and dining options.
Room was a little run down and beds quite hard
Overall a great place to stay if you are planning on visiting Yosemite national park.
