Perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for an affordable stay with many of the room amenities you could think of. Needed a place to stay that was more affordable than the other venues around Yosemite, without compromising on quality and comfort.

This location is easy to find. Friendly staff. Quick check-in. No breakfast but many restaurant options nearby. Costco is 5 min away. Beautiful grounds, lots of roses. The room is basic but clean. Good water pressure in the shower. The mattress was a little soft but excellent linens. The room includes a microwave, mini fridge and a coffee Keurig machine. Not bad for $65. I would stay again.
