Great position for Yosemite national park just a 10 minute drive from entrance. Lovely outdoor pool although water temperature in both indoor and outdoor pool was too cold to be enjoyable even in very hot weather. Clean and comfortable beds, quiet area, wildlife friendly.

The walkway along river was nice. BUT the dining was poor and very,very limited. The room was in clean but in great need of updating and repairs. NO WiFi, really, in the middle of nowhere you cannot provide WiFi to your guests as part of the room. Sad. Very sad.
