Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's unbeatable location inside Yosemite National Park, which provides easy access to park attractions, shuttle services, and scenic views. However, many express disappointment with the overall cleanliness, citing dust, cobwebs, and poor maintenance. Bed comfort is often criticized, and several guests feel the hotel does not offer good value for the high prices charged. Amenities such as air conditioning and updated facilities are lacking, especially during hot weather, leading to discomfort for some visitors. While the location is a major highlight, improvements in cleanliness, comfort, and amenities are needed.
