Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while equipped with a full kitchen, weren't in the best shape and were located right in front of the kitchen. On the bright side, the hotel is surrounded by nature and close to Yosemite National Park. The service was accommodating and even allowed guests to specify preferences during booking. However, some maintenance issues were apparent. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement in certain areas.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location is excellent, close to everything you need. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities were great. The value for money was reasonable, making it a solid choice for a stay.
I stayed in a room right in front of the kitchen, which wasn't ideal, but it did come with a fully equipped kitchen. The hotel is located close to the park, which was convenient for exploring. The dining experience was average with a selection of cured meats. Overall, it was an okay stay with some drawbacks.
