For where the location is, right by Yosemite.. it's very convinient. Close to gas stations as well, the hotel itself has a snack shack. Better than camping to me!

Room was beautiful and spacious and great location. My room refrigerator was leaking when I arrived and although staff was informed, it was still leaking when I left the next day, so not addressed. Staff when I was checking out was friendlier than checking in. Restaurant only had one floor employee, so a little hectic/slow but good food.
