Hotel staff remembered who I was from last visit and anticipated my small room request. First class in every regard!

Cons (-) Good, clean, safe place to stay while visiting Yosemite.
Pros (+) Nice grounds, room was decent and clean. Coffee maker and fridge in room. The soap and shampoo on the room was very nice. Bed was decently confertable, little stiff. Only two pillows per bed. Limited TV stations. No local papers. Cool indoor pool.
Cons (-) Appears they are in the process of a remodel. Carpet in the room was old but the bathroom looked new. ZERO cell service and the charged $9 a day for WIFI for very limited use (check emails only, no streaming). Food at restaurant was basically cafeteria food and expensive ($70 for kids chicken strips, kid burgers, two burgers 4 drinks And two salads). No continental breakfast.
Cons (-) There was a separate charge for WiFi which wasn’t noted upon booking and then on top of that the WiFi wasn’t even working
Pros (+) I liked the overall comfort of all amenities hotel offers. And how inexpensive the hotel costs.
Cons (-) I did not like how staff did not inform me of restaurant hours and not very welcoming . Needs better staff attitude and more ways to inform public of their hotel amenities. Also there is no wifi and no cell phone coverage.
Pros (+) You could tell that the room was cleaned regularly, but everything (bed, chairs, shower, etc) was well traveled.
Cons (-) Quiet location with close proximity to the valley. Onsite dining isn't great, but the convenience is nice.
Pros (+) Spacious and clean room
Cons (-) No cellular service and wifi is not free after you pay $200 per night or more. After paying $10 for 24hrs wifi still it doesn't work well.
Cons (-) $1.80 for a cup of crappy coffee in the lobby. Why not complimentary?
Cons (-) Food at restaurant was so so
Pros (+) Had everything we needed in one place
