Yosemite valley is a very beautiful national park and the hotel is located just outside the park in a very scenic location on the side of the river.

Perfect spot for a couple's or family getaway to Yosemite National Park. Other than the spotty WiFi, everything else was excellent.
1-night trip

10/10

Excellent place to stay right outside the entrance of yosemite. Avoid the cost of the in park lodging and stay in this comfy place. The sound of the river makes for excellent white noise. I would return.

Extremely handy for the park. Good store if self catering, restaurant was efficient and offered a varied menu. Could not fault it.
3-night trip

10/10

The hotel is located just outside the west entrance to Yosemite National Park and about a 25 minute drive to the Welcome Center. This made it really convenient. We also appreciated the kitchenette where we prepared pack lunches and breakfast. The beds were comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. Even though it is a little bit older hotel, it is great condition.

Good location outside of the park. We did book for a Mountain View Room, but we’re allocated a river room.

What an incredible view of the river from our balcony! The room itself, was nicely appointed, clean and well supplied. We left the slider open at night to listen to the river. Just lovely. We would stay here again. Also, such easy access to the park.

This is a great location right outside Yosemite. We enjoyed the pool and large game room and river view from our back deck. Having a restaurant right next door after a long day is a great perk as well.

8/10

Beautiful! We got the room with the patio to the Merced river which was awesome! The only thing I would say is just know it’s an older building so there will be marks on the walls and stuff.But aside from that great stay and would definitely come back.
2-night trip

10/10

It was such a beautiful hotel, right on the river. Rooms were very spacious for our 6 member family. Not many food options but that's expected in nature, we did enjoy the small shop, got some necessities in the store, and loved the game room, grandma loved playing scrabble.

3-night trip

10/10

We loved staying at this place. The location is awesome, the room we got was very spacious with all the amenities we needed and had very comfortable bed. The only thing that was not so good was that we and probably other tables had to wait for almost an hour for our dinner to arrive at the River restaurant on week night.
