Disliked: Cleanliness
Room wasn’t that clean. What looked like fecal matter by the toilet paper roll, floor felt like grit. The chair was ripped and a mirror was broken. Overall kind of a scummy feeling room. The grounds were clean and landscaped, and security fence was nice. Wouldn’t stay here again though.
Great hotel within walking distance of the Dignity Health theater where we saw The Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience. Great taco place (Sancho's Tacos) real close too. Rock on.
Place was clean. Easy check in nice property updated rooms. The only thing I didn’t like was breakfast was an extra charge and they were really really strict on the no visitors when we are coming from out of town and I was just hoping my eight-year-old nephew could come visit my daughter, but they made it seem like it was strictly forbidden. It’s not like they were gonna have a Rager or anything. That’s why I can’t give them five stars or not locals that just came to trash the room. We’re coming to visit family out of town and we wouldn’t have stayed if they were gonna be so unwelcoming.
We had a little problem at check in, but it was quickly fixed. We loved our room and the amenities. One of our favorite moments was the coffee service in the lobby. It was self-serve, but clean, fast, and no lines! The staff was very nice and helpful.
My family had a pleasant stay with our pup. The room was clean and the property was nice with many trees, 2 swimming pool options (indoor and outdoor), friendly and accommodating staff, and a restaurant on the property with a great breakfast and lunch/dinner options. It hit all the marks we needed for a good and comfortable stay near Yosemite.
