Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was nice, close to Yosemite National Park, but the room had no closet and could be more modern. The service was friendly, but there were disturbances from noise. The dining options were limited, and the facilities were acceptable.
The hotel offers a cozy and clean stay close to restaurants, though with some noise disturbances in the morning. The rooms were comfortable but possibly larger than expected. The service was warm and welcoming overall, except for a placement near the elevator. The location is perfect for visiting Yosemite National Park, with easy access for both park entrance and small-town shopping. The dining options were simple but sufficient for most guests, and the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel's location is fantastic for exploring Yosemite NP, with lots of free parking behind the hotel. The rooms, despite being noisy due to the highway, were nice and clean overall. The service was friendly and helpful, and the city was quite pleasant.
The hotel rooms are equipped with all the necessary amenities like a coffee machine, microwave, free coffee, tea, glasses, climate control, and Wi-Fi, but they felt dark and dusty, lacking space for a roller bed. The service was friendly overall but lacking in customer-facing skills, with a disappointing incident of refusing a partial refund and firing a pregnant employee. The location, while busy, is convenient for accessing Yosemite attractions, but a bit far from the park itself. The dining options were basic, consisting of cereals, oats, bagels, coffee, and juices, lacking variety. The facilities were simple with no notable features.
My stay at the hotel was comfortable with all the necessary services in the room, but it could definitely do with an update. The location was great as it allowed easy access to both Mariposa and Yosemite Park, but there is room for improvement. The service was friendly, but there were some ups and downs. The dining experience had delicious options, but it lacked variety. Overall, it was a convenient stay with some room for enhancement.
