Front Desk staff was amazing, and happily able to both our requests for a first floor room and early check-in. All the restaurant employees were friendly and food was tasty. Room was clean and spacious, coffee bar was cute and well stocked, and the bed was comfy. The property was full but quiet (didn't hear neighbors doors slamming closed, etc) Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, after a week of camping in Yosemite! Will be back!!

Place is good due to easy access to Yosemite. But the room is not so clean, i had twin bed , they both has hair on it , had to brush it off. Im tired from roadtrip so didn’t bother to make a fuss about it. Looks like they didn’t change it. And Fridge still has milk there from previous person who use the room. But love the front lake,giftshop,andthey have their own restaurant . Staff and lobby are nice too.

The area around property and pool are well worth it. Such a beautiful and relaxing spot. The actual hotel room was average at best. The TV was okd and no real channels. The carpet floor should be updated. The outdoor pools were great, indoor pool is a nice option but could use work. Even with the room lacking, I would stay again based on everything else. They also have two restaurants attached with a nice bar.

Such a great stay for a weekend in Yosemite. The price is good, the rooms were fine and very spacious, there’s two pools (one outdoor and one indoor), and there’s a super cool game room that we enjoyed spending time at. It’s my third time staying at this hotel and I would really recommend it.

Mostly fine and easy access to Yosemite. Nice pools. Annoying things are their changing $2 for a coffee cup (free if you bring your own cup); fewer tv stations available than i thought possible; overpriced and poorly stocked convenience store connected to the lobby. Restaurants on-site were mediocre and overpriced with surly service in the dining room (much better in the "bar and grill").

Even the street view is spectacular! The only critizism I can offer is that the resturaunt & bar/grill need to stay open later. In the summer they are closing even before sunset. They should give guests time to get back from the park.
