San Joaquin River Gorge Management Area

The hotel seems like it's half abandoned. The Parking lot is cracked and broken; half gravel and half actual pavement. The facade is actively rotting. The hotel restaurant seems like it's still opening, but they keep all of the lights off. My room was fine, if dated, but the hotel gym is truly creepy. The carpet looks like it was purchased from a crime scene. All that's available is a yoga mat you could not pay me to sit on, a stationary bike and an elliptical that seemed functional. This place was clearly a massive venue in the past, but its glory days have long since faded into memory and the specter of total abandonment is not far behind. That being said, the staff was always friendly and helpful. Really, it's only worth staying here if you are flying out of FAT, as the airport is across the street.

The location was great but for the price it was underwhelming. It was cute but was pretty noisy and I could hear every footstep of the person in the room above us and the shower of the room next to us.

Cliff checked us in and gave us many useful tips about Yosemite and the local fresh fruit very friendly and helpful. The rooms are large and well laid out with great storage. We would have been comfortable staying for a week.
