"Overall the stay was good - our room was particularly nice. However, there were a number of small issues, none were major, but collectively they were frustrating: - Hard to find parking near to the room. On 2 occasions we had to park on the other side of the property - Our room wasn't serviced during the stay. We understand that this was an option, however, we weren't given the option - Food a bit 'hit and miss'."

"Accommodations were very good as expected. The only downgrade would be the breakfast room. The regular coffee was gone when I arrived at 7:00am, tried the OJ, but it was thin and actually created a burning sensation in my mouth. Had to go to the nearby restroom to rinse out."

10/10 Excellent
"Perfectly located just outside the park entrance, around a 15-minute drive to Yosemite Valley. The facilities were fantastic after a big day exploring the park, with easy laundry and drying facilities, food options, a pool and a free games room to keep the kids entertained. We stayed in a King and Queen Loft, which was perfect for families, with plenty of space and cooking facilities. A great base for our Yosemite adventure!"
