Liked the kitchenette and bbq area. Also the pool was very nice and clean. For being close to the highway the rooms are quiet. Only complaint is that the taxes and fees are way overpriced especially when you had to pay extra for wi-fi and cell service

Beautiful setting along the river close to the entrance of Yosemite NP. Room wasn't fancy but was clean and comfortable. Pool and hot tub were delightful. Onsite dining was good.

I would have rather payed more to stay in the park. This hotel has no cell service and charges for WiFi. I wish I knew that up front as it would have impacted my choice. Anything you need should be purchased elsewhere. Their store marks up prices and breakfast is a $20 buffet. The upside is the proximity to the main gate for Yosemite. You can hear the Merced River roaring behind the hotel.

Our room was quite large with a nicely equipped kitchenette. The bathroom was large and nice too. The location is great - about a mile from the park entrance.

Extraordinary beautiful view of Merced river right outside room. Sound of river likely drowned out any noise from other rooms. Room was large, with comfortable beds and small kitchenette making it possible to "eat in." Just a few minutes drive to Yosemite park entrance.

I stayed here for 4 nights in the spring of 2022. The location to the park is unbeatable. It’s a 5 min drive to the arch entrance of Yosemite and less than 20 min from El Cap. Having not lived in a mountainous area, it was a relief to have such a short trip each day. We considered staying farther away from the park, but the drive would not have been easy. There is a chevron 2 minutes from the lodge, which is the last gas station before reaching the park from that side. Our room had a balcony overlooking a beautiful river and the constant sound was very soothing. The lobby has a convenience store with very reasonable prices. We used the kitchenette in our room every day! They provided all of the cookware we needed. We would definitely stay here again!!
