We love that this hotel is right outside the entrance to Yosemite and we really enjoy the pools after a long morning of hiking and the convenience of having kitchen nets in the rooms so you can bring your own food. That’s Lit

I love that our room has a patio next to the river. We cooked dinner using the kitchen kit and enjoyed our meal on the patio while listening to the soothing sounds of the river. The only downside was that the shower head switches are leaking. There are two shower heads in the bathroom.

For how expensive this place was they do not offer internet with the paid stay. If you want internet you will have to pay extra. Also for how close it is to Yosemite they do not offer transport into the park. You would have to pay extra for that as well. And when it comes down to breakfast guess what. It's not included. You will have to pay extra for that as well
