Great resort!
Overall a very nice experience!
The hike trails were not very good marked which made it a bit hard to follow the right path. Everything else exceeded our expectations!

Yosemite Gem
Loved this resort!! Design and function all well planned. Rooms were spacious and comfortable with plenty of storage. Had a fridge, safe and microwave in room. No TV but great wi-fi and Alexa provided. Great veranda overlooking the heated pool, two hot tubs (which we loved) and property. Did not utilize the spa services but I’m sure those are top notch as well. Fantastic restaurant and bar serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Beautiful buildings and property. Two minutes to Yosemite 120 entrance and about 30 minutes into Yosemite Valley. Great getaway for couples or families with lots of activities (paid and free), including a huge playroom next to the pool area. Board games, billiards, fuse ball, shuffleboard and a climbing feature. Will definitely come again.

The property is lovely, and the staff are really friendly. I just wish there were more food options at the hotel. The BBQ by the pool wasn't great, though.

We chose this as our base for our Yosemite trip and we are so happy we dd. Great location with easy access to Big OakFlat entrance, beautifully designed and maintained with a pool, hot pool, numerous fire pits, game room and lounge. Service was excellent. Restaurant was decent enough. We would stay here again

8/10 Very good
21 Oct 2024
Friendly, efficient service all around (A+). Decent restaurant with good menu selection (including vegan!). Probably more hotel than we needed overall since we were focused solely on visiting Yosemite (so, a tad pricey for us). Nice, comfortable room, though a little noisy (room above ours, especially sounds from bathroom), and some of the electrical outlets didn’t work.

Potential in search of staff
Ritz-Carlton prices, Howard Johnson’s service. Denied deck dining without first making a reservation even though many outdoor tables were empty. Only two staff waiting and busing tables in the restaurant.
Good amenities, but left wanting….

Perfect base for Yosemite exploration
Greeted by great staff upon arrival. Clean, comfortable room facing the pool. Food was overall good - generous portions. Great onsite store for snacks and picnic lunches. Very convenient access to Yosemite NP west entrances to Hetch Hetchy, Tioga Rd to Tuolumne Meadows, and of course down to the Valley.

Amazing property in need of finesse
Great amenities but rooms are lacking coziness and comfort. Also restaurant menu could be better, very broad. Do a few things and do it well. I love this property and honestly will return but the beds are not comfortable and the menu was subpar.
