One of the best places I have ever stayed at just because of the people behind the counter. They just made you feel good and welcomed. The property was clean and the breakfast was delicious and the staff was very hands on making sure the food stayed fresh with eggs, sausage, biscuit, gravy, waffles, and more. It was a fun place to stay.

Great location, next to Mariposa Creek and walking trail. Within a stone's throw of the park, where summer concerts were going on for us to walk over and enjoy. Hotel is well maintained, good quality and service across the board. Front-desk staff very welcoming, breakfast decent. Staff deserves credit for running a welcoming place on the way to Yosemite. Location is excellent, with a view of the hills.

The room was clean and the staff was very personable. Unfortunately, they had trouble determining why 4 sets of room keys did not work at our room. They finally determined it was a bad battery in the door. It just put a damper on our trip.

The pool and hot tub were down for scheduled maintenance. We were so looking forward to using them. Why would a hotel do scheduled maintenance during the busy summer season. A note about them being closed for scheduled maintenance should have been on the website 4 months ago when we were reserving. The towels were thin and raggy. The shower handle was falling off. I didn't feel that the property was worth the high amount we paid, but I realize that some of the high price is due to it being somewhat close to a national park.

Ear plugs required

Worked out well since it looks like the highest priced hotel in this small town. Iv never seen earplugs in a hotel before and didn’t realize we needed them until a herd of bison and the Clydesdales moved in above around 9 pm Ceiling was rattling
