4/10 Fair

Not worth the money
Room left a lot to be desired, great sounds from the river, but door was missing extra lock, heater smelled awful when on. Was a gap at the bottom of the door and woke up to some ants roaming around the room.

We were upgraded to the majestic suite for free! Amazing views of the Merced River. The bed was super comfortable. The shower was so fancy!! And we had our own jacuzzi in our room. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. I don’t recommend the breakfast buffet, but the other food options were delicious.

Perfect Place for Trip to Yosemite
What an amazing place to have as a home base for a trip to Yosemite! Right outside the park. Such easy access. The room was terrific. Clean, spacious, comfortable. The kitchenette was just fine for breakfast preparations. Don't expect much internet service. Little to no cell service and wifi was poor. We only used housekeeping once but they did a nice job. Both restaurants were good. The provisions at the store were more than adequate for our needs. Eggs, butter, bread, cheese. You'll need to get fruit outside of bananas at the store in Yosemite village. Very pleasant to walk by the river. Highly recommended.
