Pros (+) Amazing location. Don’t miss staying here. You will be happy.

Dan, Feb 2021

Pros (+) The location.

Cons (-) Everything. Numerous safety issues with our room (like exposed wires) that were brushed off when brought to staff attention. The care and maintenance of the room overall was suspect, at best (i.e. mold, busted fixtures, etc.). For as expensive as the room was, you'd think wifi would be included (especially considering there's no cell service), but it's an extra expense. The only reason they can ke...

Presie, Jun 2020

Cons (-) Gas price at 1 gas station outside park was highway robbery--no place else. This was NOT connected to motel.

Anonymous, Jul 2019

Cons (-) Dreadful customer service at front desk on check in and thereafter. The staff appear to be a bunch of college students who are trying to get some summer money but don’t really feel they need to make the effort of extending customers the courtesy of being nice and friendly. Also - $10 for WiFi?? It’s 2019 and I can get free WiFi in Starbucks. There are swimming pools and jacuzzis - who needs these?...

Doris, Apr 2019

Pros (+) Beds were super comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the view from our hotel room was majestic.

Cons (-) Staff was a little rude. I can tell they had a busy night and we tried to stay out of their way and even then we felt their attitude was not the best.

Ed, Oct 2018

Pros (+) If you’re going to Yosemite, this place is on your short list for sure. Nice, spacious rooms, but hard beds.

Cons (-) Besides the hard beds, the staff did not make it clear that the $10 WiFi fee was for two devices only.
