Yes, it is an old property. It is very conveniently located.. so full marks for that. Some rooms have been upgraded, but just superficially. The carpets are old, and the rooms are a little dingy. While the bedding is comfortable, I wish they had fitted sheets. It is just a flat sheet over a bedding. Don’t feel too great. The bathroom is spacious and well lit. The fan was super noisy though. The walls are super thin and you can hear people walking around your room, slamming doors, etc. That being said, we were dead tired from our day in Yosemite and fell asleep. The location is so so so so good. So we are willing to overlook any other inconveniences.. the front desk was super helpful. The on-site pizza was great. But they are not open on all days.

Stayed here for a few days as a homebase for a trip into Yosemite. Location was absolutely ideal as it is just outside the park. We stayed in a family apartment with four adults that was incredibly spacious restaurant was nice and the staff was very helpful. Would stay here again for sure the next time I’m around.
