They are so bad, they don't give FREE WIFI, you have to pay another company, they try to "milk" you for some extra money. Each payment could only use 2 devices. Ridiculous, even for $360 per night room. Don't give FREE WIFI. The reason people stay there, because it is close to the entrance of the yosemite park

It’s well accommodation if you’re planning coming to Yosemite. Since it’s just a 20 mins drive away from the park. With a nice views. 10/10 for the service.

I booked a room with river view, but when I checked in, the staff said I had to pay extra $80 for a room with river view! That is ridiculous, totally unacceptable!

To our pleasant surprise, we were given a room along the raging Merced River that had a fireplace and a large area out the back right along the river. It was beautiful and appreciated having the option to dine right there in the restaurant!

It would be cool if there were golf carts who could take you from one end of the property to the other end. We were attending a wedding and booked rooms at different times so some family members were too far away. Room cleaning knocked on our door at 10 am when check out is 11 am and we were in the middle of getting ready for the wedding.

30 min drive to Yosemite valley, 1 hour drive to Mariposa grove. No cell phone signal. Fee for Wi-Fi. In room refrigerator, microwave, burners, utensils, plates very convenient. Convenience store in lobby is great. Free coffee in lobby is better than the in room coffee. Neighbors and highway traffic can be noisy but only for short times.

Nice place and nice people but when you pay a good amount for a hotel room you don't expect to get dinged $10 for Wi-Fi. And that's only good for two devices.

We were assigned to the Juniper building. There was active dirt excavation with loud construction equipment through the day. There is no daily room service. The wifi is an extra $10 per day and does mot work reliably. Due to its location close to Yosemite El Portal entrance this place is able to get away with high rates and substandard service.

The property is nice and location is excellent. Only reason I give it 4 star because they charge $10 for the WiFi, which feels cheap, especially you already paid $400 for the room. Also, not much choices for the food. Just a pizza store and a mediocre restaurant. Otherwise I enjoy the stay in this beautiful place.

The property was in a perfect location to head in and explore Yosemite Park. The only bummer is the rooms took a while to be ready and the walls were super thin (so you could hear people walking up and down the stairs at night). All of that is to say, you're not really going to stay there for the incredible experience in your room, so I wasn't too upset as the majority of my time was spent outdoors.

Wifi costs extra, and the TV only shows local channels (can’t watch Netflix). There’s a Tesla supercharger on site, very convenient. While the hotel is on the river, you cannot go down into it and only certain rooms have river view. Close to park entrance.

Loved the location. Need to do something about the restaurant, which we understand is a separate entity but it is really quite dire.
