"Perfect location to the entrance to Yosemite National Park! Check-in was flawless, quick and efficient! A great add to check in is the well-stocked mini grocery store and gift shop within the Lobby! Priced affordably. Groceries and beverages (wine, beer, liquor, soda....), everything you may need during your stay! We reserved a Riverview room (highly recommend) - beautiful sitting on your balcony listening to the serene sounds of flowing water after a long day hiking and site-seeing! Room was clean - certainly could use updating but met our needs. Room had a mini kitchen so if you prefer to cook meals, everything is there to support. The building had an elevator which made staying on the 3rd floor easy to access. A restaurant, pizza parlor and bar attached to the hotel which was a great option to cooking in our room. Friendly, and accommodating staff. Outdoor patio as a beautiful eating area option! Highly recommend!"
