This is our third stay here and it was a Great Stay, easy parking the pool and hot tub were fun. The breakfast was good. Only negative would be the cleanliness of the room.(specifically what looked like love juice blasted on the headboard). Good thing I brought antibacterial wipes.

Family suites are sour.
We stayed in a family suite for two nights. The bed for the “parents” section was like sleeping on a slab of granite. It was an old spring mattress with no cushion and the movement from the other person could be felt all night. The bathroom and sink/microwave area are located in the section of the room with the single bed and there is no way to lock the door between the rooms for any privacy. The TV’s have premium cable but only the TV in the double section was a smart TV. The breakfast at the restaurant was probably the best part of the stay and definitely adds value to the room. The front desk staff stated that they were in the process of changing out the mattresses. We didn’t use the pool because another large family took over the entire facility. This same family had several rooms near ours and were loud at night (this is beyond BW control but something to consider when booking) I have been to this property several times before and this was the first negative experience I had. I had never before gotten the family suite and will probably not stay again. There are newer hotels in the area and places closer to Yosemite that I will try in the future.

Great stay, room was large, comfortable, and clean. Indoor pool and spa were perfect for the cold and rainy day. Matt at the front desk was friendly and efficient. 10 outta 10.

This hotel was an amazing family choice for us during our Yosemite stay. It is actually about an hour and fifteen minutes from Yosemite but was close to the Sugar Pine Railroad and Yosemite Archery activities. My children loved the room, the play area, the pool and the restaurant that's onsite. The staff was amazing and everyone was super friendly. I loved that it was close to everything in Oakhurst, we didn't mind the drive to Yosemite and loved that it was only an hour away from Fresno airport.

Great family and pet-friendly place to stay
It was a great place to stay. The room itself had a family suite consisting of two double beds which had its own door and another queen bed not enclosed. The view to the garden was nice as well. Family friendly place with good breakfast and very helpful and friendly staff. The front desk especially is very accommodating and receptive to guests needs. Highly recommend the stay here. They do have a jacuzzi and pool and multiple garden spaces which are pet -friendly.

The property had a lovely courtyard where we could view deer passing through. Also, the breakfasts were delicious with cafeteria-style and you could choose whatever you wanted and go back for seconds.

Good amenities and somewhat convenient location for Yosemite Valley but still an hour and a half drive. The onsite restaurant was convenient and reasonably priced with some really good dishes.
