This property is easy access to Yosemite. Recent remodel is nice but they neglected to put in some necessary conveniences such as toilet paper holder and towel rack! The food situation is very mediocre. Nothing there except the two restaurants associated with the property and food is VERy mediocre and expensive. They really take advantage of u at breakfast. The food available in their market is just a bunch of snacks and horrible frozen breakfast burritos.

The property is very well kept. First and foremost it was clean and safe. I was able to park right outside my door (as I believe everyone can). Everything in the room functioned well. It was a very large room, so there was no shuffling around the bed. It's not far from the gate at Yosemite, so you can be in the park early.

There was no 5G signal and the room wifi did not work. The bathroom door did not close. The hotel restaurant was a joke. For breakfast they serve a continental style breakfast and half the food is inedible, but charge over $20.

You're paying a premium for the location, not for the accommodations. It's pretty basic, but it's only 8 miles from the Yosemite entrance. Breakfast is available, but the only option is a mediocre buffet that costs $25 per person, and you can do better in the park.
