Great amenities, accessible to Yosemite park. Nice convenience store at the property and an awesome pizza restaurant as well. This was a great stay and wish would have stayed longer!!
We stayed two wonderful nights here. The beds and pillows are next level comfortable! The room is very spacious and clean. We will definitely be staying here again!
The place was clean and I lived the spa tub. The place needs some update but was a beautiful place to stay along the river. The staff was exceptional since we had a very late check-in and they accommodated us nicely.

Property was a little tired but, the balcony view of the Merced and the sound of the river at night made our stay a plus overall.
We loved having a kitchenette to cook and relaxing at the pool and hot tub at the end of the day after a long hike was great. The restaurants on site have excellent food which was a nice surprise. The pizza is awesome!
Favorite part of the place was the balcony overlooking the river. Coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. Very convenient location to Park access.
Really nice hotel in excellent location for Yosemite Valley and beyond. Room was large with two queen beds. A restaurant and pizzeria on site was handy. Ideal for visiting Yosemite and easy to get to.
The property was right at the foot hills of Yosemite National Park, price was good and the rooms were excellent. Not flash, although clean, large and comfortable.
