Nice place to stay close to yosemite. We were disappointed with the breakfast options. The only choice was a breakfast buffet for $23.00 which was limited and the food was not fresh. $50 for marginal food for 2 people was a rip off. The hotel new we had no other choice. There were only two other tables of people eating there so it appeared they became wise to the scam before we could. Bring your own doughnuts!

What I really liked about this property is the location. It's 5 minutes from a gas station and I would say under 10 minutes from the park entrance. It also has a nice bar and dining area with good food options. The store inside the lobby has plenty of variety as well. The indoor and outdoor pools are great too.

Over the weekend, when it was more crowded. We did not get any hot water. Once people started leave, our room finally had some hot water. We hear people above us quite easily. Place needs some updating but it was nice and clean.
