The rooms were dirty and unkempt. Staff was unfriendly. The location was great, but, for the price, it was very disappointing. I would not stay there again.

1. When I was checking, I asked for room with the river view, it costed me additional $40 which they never mentioned while booking 2. Free coffee, but you have to buy the paper cup for $3.75 3. No water bottles in the room 4. 3 towels for 4 people 5. Bathroom sink clogged, bathtub faucet leaking, too high bath tub for small person 6. No complimentary breakfast for the price they charged.

Closest place to stay if you are wanting to go to Yosemite valley. Had a kitchenette with basics. There is a mini store in the lobby for essentials. Has pools, hot tubs, laundry and 2 places to eat. On the Mercede river. Nice place to stay with family. Power can go out occasionally to the valley. They will find accommodations at another hotel down the road.

Nice river view one night stay

We were given lower level room which was not accessible. Room has plates and kitchen which was good as you can buy the eggs and bread from the front desk and cook it anytime. River view room was stunning and worth spending.

We loved this place, it has such a good vibe and feels very safe. Our room was fantastic, large with 2 king size beds and kitchen. We had a large terrace overlooking the River. It was exhilarating watching the water rush past. Pool was great with hot tubs and plenty of sunbeds. We are at the bar, pizzas and dough balls very reasonable. The store onsite is well stocked and gift shop has some nice bits and pieces. Will definitely stay here again, easy to get into Yosemite

This property is in a good location to Yosemite National park and is right above the Merced river — which is nice. But it was very difficult to get the temperature in the room to a comfortable level. Also there was as an annoying light on the Air conditioning unit that keep the room too bright when trying to sleep.. They need to correct this issue
