We got upgraded to a room with a spa and it’s been the best room. Bed is too firm for my back though. Great stay.

Decent hotel close to the park.

Decent hotel beds were a little hard. It’s older but I felt comfortable. Nice being next to the river. Handy little store near reception so we were able to save some money on food. Would prefer to stay there for the money rather than in the park. Can’t go past it really good nights sleep. Staff are friendly. Free wifi would have been good but for our short stay was able to entertain myself with cable tv anyway and nice not to be able to check emails as there is no phone reception either.

The location was excellent, right at the foot of Zion NP. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the free breakfast was excellent.

Good location, perfect for visiting Yosemite.

Love having the river running behind the hotel. Lovely outlook. Pizza is excellent, especially after a days hiking! Front office staff could do with a little more personality - unfriendly, unwelcoming & not very knowledgeable about points of interest we enquirer about.
