Not worth the money
Room left a lot to be desired, great sounds from the river, but door was missing extra lock, heater smelled awful when on. Was a gap at the bottom of the door and woke up to some ants roaming around the room.

The perfect property to stay in if you don't want to pay the extra price of staying inside Yosemite, but want to be right next door. Not much around that area, but the place itself has a restaurant. No thrills, but convenient. Would stay again.

We were upgraded to the majestic suite for free! Amazing views of the Merced River. The bed was super comfortable. The shower was so fancy!! And we had our own jacuzzi in our room. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. I don’t recommend the breakfast buffet, but the other food options were delicious.

The room was very spacious, it has all the cooking utensils you need.Just a suggestion though, the bathroom probably needs some renovation.the shower heads needs to be updated. Otherwise we had a beautiful experience in this hotel.
