I would not stay at this hotel Saturday night. There is a large motorcycle tour group that according to staff is there every Saturday night. They were extremely noisy after hours and when I asked them to be not as loud they ignored me. Finally staff had to get involved to get them to be quiet. In the morning they were equally bad. Avoid this place if they are there.

Very close to an entrance to the Park. Two places to dine on-site. The place was clean and comfortable. I think they said housekeeping would come in, but they did not. We were there two nights.

The room was super quiet which was great! Unfortunately the power went out while we were there, it was around the whole area but they did offer a refund which was nice. Perfect location to visit Yosemite! The store on property had a lot of choices and the in room kitchenette worked great for breakfast.

Enjoy!
Wonderful stay- great ac, game room, outdoor spaces, pools, kitchenettes- mostly renovated- and near entrance to Yosemite. Bring your own shampoo/conditioner, stop at a grocery store on the way. Pay extra for the river view, request housekeeping the night before, and check under the beds for stray items before you leave!
