The front desk people were very friendly and helpful and the gift shop had a wide variety of items. The room was incredibly clean and was very relaxing with the jacuzzi tub, fireplace, and the river just outside the back door. They have a game room on site that we took advantage of, but most of the games were not working. The biggest downside was that the restaurant was not great. Collectively, our food was over cooked, tasted funny, or was not up to standard. The Pizza place was also not open during our trip which was a little disappointing. All in all, I hope to stay here again as the staff, room, and gift shop made the trip enjoyable.

Pros: Amazing location. Getting a room next to the river is a must, such a beautiful view. Friendly staff, very quiet, lobby has some groceries, decent gift shop. Cons: A bit outdated with bathrooms, mattresses weren’t that great(very firm). The food was overpriced for its quality. Breakfast was average at best. Overall: Will be coming back to this motel when I visit Yosemite again. While it does have its cons, it’s still a great hotel for its price and location. Would recommend this place to anyone.

This is the last hotel before entering into Yosemite national park. We booked this as we were not sure if we would be required to put snow chains on the hire car to enter the park and this hotel is on the yart bus route into the park. We had a two bedroom self contained apartment. It was excellent as we could cook our meals. Outdoor hot tub was great as well near the pool.

Pet friendly. But $25 per night, plus tax and 2 different fees duplicated from the fees charged for people. Total of 6 different fees per night for room and 1 pet. Nice facilities. Kitchenette. Bring a nightlight.

Property was average to good. Reception staff were very superficial and really not attentive to the customer. Really lack of interest. Restaurant staff on the other hand were very attentive and service oriented.
