I had a two bed room unit. It was very nice, it was a handicap room so this person I was traveling with was handicap. They have an on-site gift shop and mini grocery store. And they have beautiful decorations, a fall and Christmas time theme already in the lobby. This hotel is about a 15 minute drive from the entrance of the park, which is very nice. The only reason why I’m giving it a four star rating is because of the price of the dinner. I bought a fettuccine chicken Alfredo pasta, which cost me $27. And it wasn’t a lot of pasta. Now the breakfast buffet, is well worth the price. Delicious food, and refillable drinks.

This cozy place has a beautiful setting along a river. I would give 5 stars except that we didn't have hot water for the first two days. We talked to the front desk and it still took another day for the water to be hot. Perhaps the boiler took a while to warm up? But other than that great place with a nice restaurant.

The room and view was nice. Got a call one night just before 9 pm while we were having a relaxing evening. The desk clerk accused us of smoking on the balcony. We are not smokers. I have been free from cigarettes for over 10 years. Needless to say it soured the evening.

We got a room with king size bed and it comes with mini kitchen. All pots and pans, and plates were already in the cabinet. River view was excellent. My wife loves it.The room was clean. The facilities were well maintained. We'll stay there again if we are visiting to Yosemite.
