Excellent location near the park entrance, good size bedroom and bathroom, friendly staff and great service. This is our second time staying on it and will do it again.
Mariness, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location was excellent. Grounds were well maintained. Rooms were clean. We would stay here again.
Darren, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our group of six women stayed here for a hiking-trip weekend; the two-bedroom suite worked out beautifully for us in terms of space, and we very much enjoyed the pool/hot tub and the on-site restaurants, especially the pizza. We found the location very convenient to the valley, and we all agreed we'd be happy to stay here again.
Elizabeth, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location close to Yosemite Valley entrance. Friendly and helpful registration staff. Loved our loft suite, comfortable beds, quiet.
Peggy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nadav, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location & amenities!

Great general store open until 11pm to stock up for your park visit. Pizza restaurant onsite and breakfast buffet (not included) were delicious & convenient. This hotel is right outside of Yosemite NP so you can’t beat the location.

maria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was excellent! Comfy beds, clean space AND a little outdoor patio on the river was a definite plus! The facility is a little outdated, but the location was the best for the price, hands down. Everything we needed right outside the gate of the NP. Would happily stay here again if I was headed to Yosemite again!
Rene, 2-night trip

Great place to stay

Great place to stay, 20min drive to curry village and everything needed on site. Pools were great to unwind at after a long day hiking and setting just gorgeous with the river running along side the rooms, just beautiful. Highly recommend.
Kate, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location and family oriented

In addition of being located very near the Yosemite Valley Portal in a nice place near the Merced River, it is family and pet friendly. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family, especially the ones with pets. Our room would benefit from a renovation, but it was very comfortable and clean.
