Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
Pluses: closest hotel to Yosamite gates, plenty of parking, nice and helpful staff, large room, nice beds, nice fireplace. Minuses: room badly in need of renovation, entry door had 1 inch gap and missing gasket, kitchen stove top barely hot to be able to cook, ants in bathroom, no exhaust or heating element in bathroom. Hotel's restaurant way overpriced due to lack of competition. Definitely not worth the price.

As our first time in Yosemite.. the location is perfect! It was only a few minutes from the entrance. I preferred it as it was next to the water!!! I loved seeing the creek everyday from the balcony. So peaceful and quiet ! The room itself is spacious with a kitchenette- perfect for a couple. We made our breakfasts and even dinner in the room. Overall it was clean and lovely staff. The only downside is the condition of the bathroom. The shower curtain were so short so everytime we showered.. water got all over the bathroom.. even with the water pressure being so low. Other than that, it was overall good for the price 👍

Accommodations were great for the value and service was excellent. We called for a coffee maker replacement very early in the morning and the front desk person brought one right away and we truly appreciated that.
