Room had black mold in it, I found out on the last night of my stay. Rooms were not clean. Beds not comfortable. Only plus point was the location to Yosemite. Front desk people were nice. It's just the room was terrible.

Property was clean and the room was ok. No cell service and wifi wouldn't keep. TV channels limited. Good to have refrigerator. Great store with lots of items you might need. Worst part is no microwave, no real complimentary stuff (no coffee tea if forgot to bring your own mug), and only a $22 breakfast buffet extra. Plan ahead for breakfast. Very close to tunnel entrance to Yosemite is great. River access across the street is great. AC works. Nice enough place.

Very nice property with great grounds; the outside tables, river access, etc. were excellent. The restaurant was not great, though, with poor service and food was cold when it reached the table. If you want to eat on property, use the Bar & Grill, where the service was excellent, and, while not as many choices, the food was better
