This was a very avreage motel! The price and the extra charges were not! I know its in a good location but I take issue with why they need to charge so much! Then they tack on taxes and more! We didnt eat at the restaurant because we heard it was bad and once again over priced! They are making big time money at your expense!

Great location for visiting Yosemite National Park. Liked having a kitchenette which allowed us to make breakfast and lunch in the room. The onsite store had fairly good provisions. One suggestion is to add moleskin for those hikers who get blisters.

Service was great and the room was clean and ready. the hotel and room are a little tired due to age and wear, but it was fine. The shop at the lobby was better priced than anything inside of the park. There was no coffee at the store which I found unusual. The laundry room was ok, but the machines were expensive and not that great at actually drying. The game room was enjoyed by the kids as well as the indoor pool/hot tubs.

Everything about this property was great BUT the dining options. The dining room menu is too limited, esp breakfast (only buffet). Offer breakfast sandwiches or wraps. The pizza parlor should offer salads and wings. There was no place to get snacks like nachos, chips/salsa.
