What Guests Loved
Based on 226 reviews
Pros +
- Easy to find. Pleasant staff. Plenty of parking.
- Location within walking to Groveland amenities
- Location is perfect is you want to be near Yosemite Nat'l Park without actually camping in. Just under an hour drive to the visitor's center.
Cons -
- Garbage can in kitchen was full and left overnight. Perhaps provide instructions for how to empty.
- Needs a thorough renovation. Bathrooms clogged in both buildings. Too expensive for what it is. Barbed wire?
- Parking is quite limited. Try to get in early to beat the late night rush of cars between 9-10PM. Cleanliness was not stellar, found some weird stains on my bedsheets.

The rooms were very clean. Sheets were provided which was unexpected. The location is good for walking into the tiny town and good restaurants.
The deck and outside furniture was run down.
We book a quadruple room and it was written "the hotel may charge you for extra guests" and they charged us for 2 extra people (we were 4). The wireless didn't work, the room and toilets were dirty, the room was described unproperly, almost no breakfast
Booked the quadruple room, when I arrived he told us we have to pay an extra $80-100 because we had four people and not two. Then he tried giving us another room, trying to over charge us, his math was not adding up. Free breakfast is pancake mix.
price & location
no wifi, no towel, basically no breakfast

AC was not Wirkung sufficiently
