Asked for river view room which cost $70+ tax per night even though it was off season. The tub was large jacuzzi tub we couldn’t use because there wasn’t enough hot water to make it comfortable

Yosemite adventure

The hotel needs an upgrade. The location was great. The lobby staff was very friendly. The restaurant breakfast staff wasn’t so friendly. Our food was cool when it arrived. There was an issue with our room and they moved us to a different room.
