We have been staying at this property during our visit to Yosemite and love how quiet and close to the river and entrance to Yosemite it is located at. The rooms and game room could use an upgrading.

Less than 10 mins entrance to Yosemite, this hotel is convenient especially if one leaves the park late. The hotel is clean and spacious. Some appliances need to be changed however. I like the fact that dogs are allowed. And also the view is fantastic especially on the riverside.

My room was ok, but dated in furnishing. That said, I am ok with that, as I would not want to pay more than I did while in the area. I liked having laudry facilities on grounds and the swimming pools is nice, but I did not use it.
