This was an amazing experience! Very clean rooms, super friendly staff, and the whole 8 acres of land is beautiful! My balcony had an awesome view and the breakfast had so much to choose from. I came for a little solo Mommy retreat and will be bringing the rest of the family regulary since it's also only 15 min from yosemite. The only negative I can say is the indoor hot tub had some leaves and sand in it but otherwise, perfect!

Andrea checked us in. She was the most kind check in clerk I've ever met. She anticipated everything I was thinking, I'll give the hotel a 5 start rating just because of her hospitality. However the hotel was great all around. Breakfast was amazing! The indoor pool and hot tub were also great to relax in.
