Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
Most everything about this place is great, but the smell is awful in the rooms. It smelled like mildew and mold heavily. I really like everything else about the place. Its a 20 minute drive to Yosemite, has great river views from the rooms, the staff was nice, the rooms are good size, the bed was comfortable, tv and internet worked well, but the smell was REALLY hard to get past. I bought a scented candle to help with the smell but it didn't do much. I would rate a 4 star otherwise, but smelling mold and mildew is not acceptable for hundreds of dollars a night It ruins the stay.

It was just ok. From inside the room, you can hear lots of noise from other rooms and outside. The beds and pillows were not very comfortable. Convenient to the park though!

The staff and amenities were amazing. The property was very nice and we really enjoyed just walking around with so much to see and enjoy. The Game Room is pretty awesome, but lots of stuff is out of order or not working properly and the indoor pools and outdoor hot tubs were nice touches, as well. They were not well-stocked with materials to wrap the expensive fragile things I bought in the gift store, but the staff did their best with what they had. I can't wait to come back!

Room was spacious and clean but there no room service offered. They didn't come to pick up the garbage or offer fresh towels in the 3 nights we stayed there. The location is great and very close to the park.

2nd time staying here and as amazed as the first time, amazing river view rooms and the breakfast buffet is exactly what you need!! We went fancy and booked the king spa tub room I felt like I was in the playboy mansion old school but fancy. Looking forward to a third time within the next few years!!
