I have pictures and video. The TV didn’t work. It had picture but no sound they brought up a new TV had no picture no sound that was the only extra TV they had when we went to shut the curtains when we got there they were all ripped and falling off the rails there was holes in the sheets holes in the bedding. The carpets were stained. The bed felt like they had crumbs in them. I had to remake the bed first night we slept on top of everything second night. I asked for fresh sheets.

The hotel itself was very comfortable and clean. The bed was comfortable. A little dated but we kinda like that charm. The pool was clean. Con: All the dinning options in the area were obnoxiously expensive. Next time we will be eating noodle cups in the room lol. But I’d totally stay here again.

We stayed just the night. It’s pretty basic. We didn’t have any issues but felt a bit expensive for the price.

Room was very clean and comfortable. No frills, but wasn’t expecting much. All vending machines out of order. Pretty pathetic coffee station - didn’t use. Otherwise no complaints.

Cute place in a cute town

Great location, easy parking and Sven in the office was super nice and helpful with directions and dining options. Room was a little run down and beds quite hard Overall a great place to stay if you are planning on visiting Yosemite national park.
