very nice location inside the valley, room is dark and looks dated but clean. A short walk to the Yosemite fall. Cafe food is not that good and very pricy for the quality.

Good: Clean room, great central location, balcony. Not so good: no electric outlet in the room, only 2 by the wash basin.

4/10 Fair

The location and views are of course spectacular, but at these rates the room should at least be average and this was not.

6/10 Good

Excellent location. Too bad the hotel doesn’t at least attempt to compliment the beauty around. If it wasn't the only show there it would surely not survive.

The lobby is welcoming and the little suites are cute. The staff were friendly and provided a map to navigate the property. There were no bears on site.

10/10 Exceptional

Great place with stunning views and wonderful hospitality. From the moment we checked in (thanks to Jonathan) to the restaurant staff (especially Mr. DJ), everyone was incredibly patient and friendly. Even though we came hoping to see snow and didn’t get any, the experience was still amazing because of the people. Truly made our stay memorable.
