Great location. Ok food

Great location and just outside the park. Very clean. Only downside is the food options. The pizza place was great. The restaurant was dated and just ok. Overpriced and you have no other choices.

From the parking lot you can see the entrance to Yosemite Nat'l Park. The staff were very nice and the store extremely convenient. The room was nice, clean and the bathroom was great. The air conditioner was very noisy. While driving to park near my room, I encountered one staff member, male with a beard, driving a golf cart in not such a safe manner. It was dark and he didn't have his lights on. As I passed him, I just mentioned that his light weren't on and he gave me a dirty look and didn't respond. He didn't seem happy, lol. Oh well. But this was a great place and would absolutely recommend it.

The location in proximity to Yosemite was excellent. The view from the balcony of the river was amazing. The room was OK. The pizza place on site was delicious. The only con was limited places to eat besides the on site restaurant.
