Everything was amazing! Amazing location, amazing room. Loved the jacuzzi and balconies view. Only downside was the 1/2 of the restaurants were closed and there’s not too many other options. Hotel store does have lots of frozen food options.

This property was fantastic! We loved our room with its beautiful river view, where we could spot fish, herons, and other wildlife all around. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the location couldn’t be better—just a short distance from the Yosemite entrance. I’d highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again on my next visit! A great surprise was the guest-accessible laundry rooms in each building, and the kitchenette in the room which made our stay even more convenient.
