Mid Sept 2026 We loved staying here. We had a mountain view room, though the mountains were mostly blocked by trees. We had breakfast on the balcony, very nice. All the staff were great. The food at the restaurant was excellent.

Perfectly non-perfect gem…. Perfect location for Yosemite trip. Comfortable bed, warm water, no bugs, amazing management team and restaurant. May not be for a bougie person but was perfect for a great experience outside of a Hilton….
