The property overall is excellent, the only dislike we encounter is there’s no microwave in the room. We are early morning hikers and needed a microwave to heat up our breakfast sandwich.

This property is located about 20 minutes from the Yosemite Park gates (El Portal) on Hwy. 140. The hotels here are relatively expensive and this was an economical option. While many of the rooms in this extensive facility had nice views out of their windows, ours was on the lower level and looked onto the brick wall, which was very disappointing. The furniture in the room was old, as were the bathroom facilities. While the room was clean, and the beds comfortable, it badly needed a facelift. The breakfast offered in the restaurant was expensive and did not look appealing. It was a one price buffet style only. Overall, the accommodation was adequate because we spent most of our days exploring the spectacular Yosemite National Park.

It's close to the west entrance (13 minutes), but it's expensive for what you get, and a little run down. The beds and pillows need to be replaced, and the shower head is okay for someone who is 4 foot 11.

Nice place to stay close to yosemite. We were disappointed with the breakfast options. The only choice was a breakfast buffet for $23.00 which was limited and the food was not fresh. $50 for marginal food for 2 people was a rip off. The hotel new we had no other choice. There were only two other tables of people eating there so it appeared they became wise to the scam before we could. Bring your own doughnuts!

What I really liked about this property is the location. It's 5 minutes from a gas station and I would say under 10 minutes from the park entrance. It also has a nice bar and dining area with good food options. The store inside the lobby has plenty of variety as well. The indoor and outdoor pools are great too.
