What a fabulous base for a stay in Yosemite - it is RIGHT in the heart of the National Park, very quiet and on 30 mins drive to Yosemite Village. The Apartment was lovely, very clean, everything we needed, and the beds were very comfortable in every room! We had a fully fitted kitchen to prepare our braekfast in and a fantastic balcony to enjoy sitting outside on, and TV and pool table to keep yourselves amused! We really couldn't have found anywhere better.

Location was great as extremely quiet even in peak season, close to Glacier point and inside park. Sitting on roofed terrace was just lovely and children loved that we could cook pasta ourselves. Hints from host how to get there and where to shop were very helpful!

The pools are great! The restaurant is AWFUL!

The pools are great! The restaurant is AWFUL! I'd rather eat my shoe than eat at that restaurant! The bar/grill are ok, certainly better than the restaurant, but that is speaking relatively... The store is very nice, offering a good variety of snacks and drinks. The location is very good, just a few miles away from the Yosemite entrance. The staff were friendly and responsive. The rooms were clean, and, thankfully, the AC worked well (it was 109 degrees when we were there!). The bathroom lights turned on automatically whenever someone entered the room, which we didn't like, and would have liked a way to turn that feature off.

We didn't travel to visit El Portal which is pretty sparse.

We didn't travel to visit El Portal which is pretty sparse. Its proximity to Yosemite is the reason we visit. There is a service station which is strategically located and also a fairly good coffee shop (dog friendly).

The place had Tesla fast charging stations.

The place had Tesla fast charging stations. The property was old but clean. The carpet could use a deep clean. The room had a balcony with a table and some chairs great for drinking with friends or just hang out and relax while looking out the river. The room was really big and spacious with a ref, stove top, coffee maker and some cooking and serving utensils. Actually the property was decent but with no cellular coverage (Tmobile), wifi should have been readily available. Here you have to pay through a 3rd party. Sad! So it’s not great for virtual meetings and stuff.

The location and staff were excellent!!

The location and staff were excellent!! The room was clean, the amenities were great as well, the only problem was our TV. Maintenance couldn’t fix it so they gave us the internet for the TV the first night to remedy the situation which was amazing but not the second night which put a damper on things with no Tv to relax the second night.

The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite.

The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite. The room was good. The Pizza restaurant was good. We didn't like having to book room service (towels etc and coffee for room) on a daily basis. In our opinion is a throwback to Covid pandemic days, as a management policy to save money not support the customer.

The balcony in our room was spacious with a wonderful view of the river. Our room - and bathroom - was big enough for 4 adults. The small kitchen area with refrigerator, toaster, coffee machine, utensils and stove top was an added bonus as we were able to prepare breakfast, keep food and drinks cold and heat leftovers. The hotel was well located in a scenic area of the park and about a half hour drive from the well visited Yosemite Valley center.

The location really is stunning amazing. So close to Yosemite entrance it's very hard to beat without being actually in the park. Due to having a bit of a disaster with our luggage on our flight we didnt get to the hotel until 2am but they the staff were still around and we were able to check in. The pool was nicer than I had thought. I liked the balcony on our room overlooking the green mountains.
