It was close to Yosemite which was very convenient. The kitchen was a good size and the recreation center was a plus. On the other hand, the beds were uncomfortable, no breakfast was available, and WiFi was not available unless you paid extra money. There is no cellphone reception.

I would have given this a 5-star rating if it weren’t for the fact that they make you pay extra for having wifi in your room… despite the fact that the lobby not even 50 meters away from the rooms has wifi available for free. Of course this wasn’t mentioned clearly anywhere when purchasing the room for a few days.

Tony at the front desk was cordial, helpful, friendly and flexible to our needs. Our room was clean and spacious. The Hotel is only a few miles away from Yosemite, and a couple miles from the big cluster of hordes of people that one hotel further up the road is! We will be staying here for all of our future Yosemite visits!
