Pros +

  • The location for Yosemite national park is perfect
  • Location was perfect. Such a great hotel in the middle of nowhere. Pools and hot tubes were fun and the restaurants were a pleasant surprise. And full kitchen in room was perfect. We’d return.
  • Unlike what I read prior arrival. WiFi from my room was actually good. I stayed at room 518 next to the swimming pool.

Cons -

  • Parking was ample but not close to our room so we had to illegally park to pack up. Shower head was a bit low for me. Also, we didn’t know our room would have a full kitchen. Hard to complain, but we would have brought in different food for dinner.
  • Looks like underneath the bed never got cleaned
  • No elevator, we had to walk up two flights of stairs to our room. No microwave in the room. No coverage for my phone network. Sketchy or no Wi-Fi.

We had a decent size room, larger than expected. The room came with a refrigerator and large screen TV. There were two pools, one outside and one in doors. We enjoyed the hot tub. Large game room with ping-pong and other games.

No elevator, we had to walk up two flights of stairs to our room. No microwave in the room. No coverage for my phone network. Sketchy or no Wi-Fi.
