This place is good location, but we could not get their WiFi working for us, we couldn’t use my phone and internet connection at all, this is the only complaint we have. Cleanness is not very good, but it’s ok for one night stay.

Property was clean and the room was ok. No cell service and wifi wouldn't keep. TV channels limited. Good to have refrigerator. Great store with lots of items you might need. Worst part is no microwave, no real complimentary stuff (no coffee tea if forgot to bring your own mug), and only a $22 breakfast buffet extra. Plan ahead for breakfast. Very close to tunnel entrance to Yosemite is great. River access across the street is great. AC works. Nice enough place.
