Pros +
- The location of the hotel in the valley by the bank of Merced River is absolutely stunning! Very scenic peaceful place to stay. Thank you.
- 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.
Cons -
- Our room number was 103. As we entered the bedroom, it had strong smell of urine coming from the floor. We stayed for two nights. Both nights and days we lived uncomfortably with that strong smell. We did not lodge any complaint. Must shampoo the carpet.
- No microwave. We wanted ground level because of knee surgery and they purposely have us room 436
- 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.
