The hotel needs an upgrade. The location was great. The lobby staff was very friendly. The restaurant breakfast staff wasn’t so friendly. Our food was cool when it arrived. There was an issue with our room and they moved us to a different room.

Very relaxing environment and great for all the family, from the heated pool, to the game room was over all a very nice place. Before going be sure to make your Yosemite reservation, or get your Yarts bus ticket the day before. I wish I had been told this, but over all everything worked out.

Always a pleasure staying here. Spacious clean rooms, love the fireplace and river view, love all the different pools, hot tubs and activities to do on the property as well. Staff friendly, kind and very responsive even to the weirdest request for an iron and iron board. The location is also perfect. Highly recommend this is my second time here. This time I brought lots of family with me and they were very happy with the stay and are already missing waking up to the sound and view of the river.
