Nice location outside the park

This is a great location right outside Yosemite. We enjoyed the pool and large game room and river view from our back deck. Having a restaurant right next door after a long day is a great perk as well.

Pros: - Great location for Yosemite - close to the park entrance. - Room was quiet. - Adequate parking. - Nice game room, although many games were broken. - Indoor pool Cons: -Housekeeping didn't come to clean the room despite asking for service at check-in. It took a number of calls to get clean towels on the second day. -The restaurant was overpriced, and the food left much to be desired. -The beds were too soft, the shower drain was clogged, and the bathroom door was very noisy when opening or closing.

We loved our room. Our tween daughter loved the spiral staircase and having her own space upstairs. The restaurant was good and having a store inside that had items you could grab or heat up was nice. The only thing i would change is that I wouldve booked a room with a water view because the view is amazing on that side.

The location is great but the rooms are dated. The beds were not comfy either. The food was poor but expensive. We wished we would have stayed for one night instead of two.
