restaurant food was cold . service at the restaurant was great but didn't match the food the room location was a little funky being that it backed up to a busy road would have liked to have had a room in a little quieter location. the front desk staff couldn't have been nicer and more informative.

We stayed only one night on our way to Yosemite. The rooms were okay, equipped with refrigerator and microwave. The hotel is not new, so there is some wear and tear in the room, but it's an okay value for the price. Nothing fancy.

We are sorry that you could not spend more time in our exciting area; there is so much to offer. We hoped you enjoyed the vistas on highway 120 on the way to Yosemite. Our hotel was built in 1984, added in 1994 and renovated the last time in 2011. Décor has been upgraded throughout including 2012. Thank you for... More

My family of 5 (kids - 7, 4, and 2) had a great stay. Our room was clean, comfortable and large enough for us all to be relatively comfortable. The included breakfast was fantastic - so much better than just a cereal bar and coffee. It definitely put the hotel over the top for places for us to stay. The... More

What a wonderful family review! We are pleased that the whole gang loved the full service breakfast and our hotel. I realize that the temporary pool closure was an inconvenience for your family. The pool and spa are working, but the new ADA laws called for two lifts to be installed for our access-challenged guests. A fair law, but we... More

We paid $107 a night -- including breakfast for two -- at this very appealing hotel. The rooms are fairly standard, but quite comfortable and well-planned. The building is attractive and modern but well-suited to the rustic area. The breakfast was much better than the "Continental" fare one sometimes gets in this price range. The service in both the hotel... More

We had a nice stay here....the bed was comfy and we had a glass sliding door which led to a patio which was just perfect since we had our dog with us....the reception was very accommodating about everything and gave us treats and toys for our pooch. Breakfast was included next door at the pine cone restaurant. A nice place... More

We are pleased that your loyal pooch liked our hotel and brought you along for the trip. We also have little pet gifts for our canine friends. Currently we are provided a Doggie Bowl and snacks. You are correct, this time of year the pool rooms are wonderful, overlooking the park-like setting. I like that comment “A nice place and... More

The rooms are clean, spacious and very quiet. I have found the office staff to be very courteous and helpful. I think it is a little pricey for the area, probably due to the proximity to Yosemite. The adjacent cafe is very convenient, there is room service which is nice.

Good place to stay and we stay here any time we visit the area. Parking is easy, room is comfortable. Pool/spa are nice, but on this visit they were closed for us (sign said closed for maintenance through march xx 2013; check w/ hotel if this is important to you).
