Goran

Rooms could use a proper cleaning, carpets were just yucky. The office could not locate my reservations and locked us out of the room on the last day of our stay. The one and only reason I booked this place was its’ proximity to the Yosemite entrance. Needless to say I will never consider this location or the property management again. Just gross and incompetent.

Great location right on the river. Wi-Fi was not included in almost $400/night room! TV was bad. Remote also barely worked. Room is just tired. Needs to be up fitted but there is no competition in this area so it probably won't...

Great location! The room was large and we had a beautiful balcony overlooking the river. Our kids loved the pools/jacuzzis and game room! The rooms are definitely older and not perfect but they were clean and beds were comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again.
