Great hotel, friendly staff and ideal location. We stayed here for one night whilst travelling between Yosemite and San Francisco, it’s located conveniently next to the freeway and surrounded by lots of fast food restaurants. Check in was easy and our suite room was very spacious and clean. We used the pool in the evening which was lovely. Although my wife’s bikini became stained green yellow due to the pool chemicals!
