Dan, Feb 2021
Pros (+) The location.
Cons (-) Everything. Numerous safety issues with our room (like exposed wires) that were brushed off when brought to staff attention. The care and maintenance of the room overall was suspect, at best (i.e. mold, busted fixtures, etc.).

Anonymous, Jul 2019
Cons (-) Dreadful customer service at front desk on check in and thereafter. The staff appear to be a bunch of college students who are trying to get some summer money but don’t really feel they need to make the effort of extending customers the courtesy of being nice and friendly. Also - $10 for WiFi?? It’s 2019 and I can get free WiFi in Starbucks. There are swimming pools and jacuzzis - who needs these?...

Pros (+) Beds were super comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the view from our hotel room was majestic.
Cons (-) Staff was a little rude. I can tell they had a busy night and we tried to stay out of their way and even then we felt their attitude was not the best.

Pros (+) If you’re going to Yosemite, this place is on your short list for sure. Nice, spacious rooms, but hard beds.
Cons (-) Besides the hard beds, the staff did not make it clear that the $10 WiFi fee was for two devices only.
