Loved how the property is just outside the park boundary. We also loved being right next to the Merced river. The rooms are comfortable and clean, although seem a bit worn. We had a couple issues like getting the heater to work, but the staff was very responsive in helping us with all our questions. Dining was limited to just the hotel restaurants where the service was pretty slow

We got the nicest room in the place and holyshit it was worth it. The hot tub in the room by the window watching the stars! The kitchen was great. The shower was huge with multiple shower heads. I may have used most of Cali’s water supply for the month of November. The daily drive to the park was quick. Haley serving beers and food in the restaurant was super sweet. Bravo to all!
