Excellent location about a 20 mins drive from the entrance to Yosemite Valley. Definitely worth staying here rather than paying more than double in the park itself. We stayed in a king room which must have been remodelled recently as it was modern and clean except the hair we found on one of the pillows. The only negative about the room was the terrible WiFi connection, it would drop in and out constantly which was annoying.
We didn't go to the restaurant/coffee shop but the games room was great with free pool, table tennis, cornhole, and tons of board games. In addition, the gift shop was way cheaper than the ones in the park itself.
Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Yosemite!

A clean hotel about 30 mins drive from the Yosemite National Park gate. It is a good option if you couldn’t get an accommodation in the park. The room is clean. Two swimming pools, one heated, and two restaurants on the site. We were happy with our stay.

Always my choice for Yosemite trip. Only 20 mins to park entrance. Got everything you need, large bed and clean room. No microwave, only fridge available. 3 pools are open in summer

Hotel was nice, and at a nice location close to Yosemite. Only thing is that I don't get cell phone service since it's in the middle of nowhere and also I have to purchase wifi separately, if I want to access the internet.
