6/10 Good

The hotel has an excellent location, very close to the entrance to Yosemite National Park. It is very convenient for families, with plenty of amenities and activities for children. It is also a beautiful property. However, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. When we arrived, the shower was dirty and still had hair left by the previous guests. In addition, even though we spoke with the front desk and agreed that housekeeping would come to clean our room, it was never cleaned during our stay. We were only there for two nights, so this was particularly disappointing. Overall, it is a beautiful and family-friendly place in a very convenient location, but the housekeeping service needs significant improvement.

Great place to stay with kids. Mine did not want to leave! So many activities for kids and an outstanding playground. My kids are 4 and 8 and they played for hours. The food was good quality, but the Tavern and the Restaurant have the same menu. Again, the food was great, but there are not two separate menus as it implies on the website. We got a very warm welcome from a woman named Daisy who was working at the front desk. She was so helpful and when we needed a couple of extra towels, she was quick to get them to us. She helped get our Yosemite vacation off to a great start. Rush Creek is super close to the west park entrance. It was 25 mins or so to go to Tuolumne Grove trail where there are beautiful sequioas. It was about an hour drive to Yosemite Valley where many of the kid friendly trails were. Rush Creek was a great location to stay. Oh and it smells so good there. I can't wait to return.
