We stayed several nights at this hotel, and it was very convenient to Yosemite National Park. Only minutes outside one of the gates. The room was clean and roomy, with the balcony overlooking the Merced River. Beautiful. The breakfast in the morning was an all you can eat buffet for a little over 10 dollars. We took out pizza from... More

We stayed there with 2 kids for 3 nights. Location is amazing. You can here the river roaming. They have multiple pools. Kids really enjoyed them. About 30 minutes drive to the entrance of Yosemite park. Kitchenette becomes handy, when you don't want to go out after busy day at Yosemite. Rooms could use some updating, but over roll clean....

We stayed for three nights while visiting Yosemite. The hotel it's self is average. We had a king room with a river view. The room was big with a balcony, whirlpool tub, double shower and kitchenette. It was a bit dated and could really benefit from new beds and bedding. The big advantage is being 10 min from park entrance.

My wife and I just stayed there for 5 days. Great river view and great proximity to the park. Other than that, stay elsewhere. I travel a great deal and stay in hotels in many countries. If I owned this place, I'd be embarrassed to call it a hotel (and charge what they do). Their website is a gross misrepresentation... More

There are some pluses and minuses for this hotel. The biggest plus is the location just outside the Yosemite Park entrance at El Portal. Also, we enjoyed the balcony of our room that was right above the rushing Merced River. Gorgeous! The room had a good air conditioning, good TV, and a large room with kitchenette. Also, enjoyed the pool... More

Fantastic location, only 5 mins away from the entrance to Yosemite park. Rooms are nice, clean and spacious although quite dated. Only downside to this hotel is the food availability. There is a main restaurant on site however it is very expensive and food is very average. The other option is a pizza restaurant which serves good food but is... More

This hotel has a great location for Yosemite. The rooms are large but tired. I found the bed linens and towels all a little old and worn and overall the room felt a bit grubby. There were clothes left by a previous guest in one of the drawers and the cleaners left old cloths in the bathroom on 2 days.... More

The good: SO CLOSE to the entrance to Yosemite. Enjoyed getting out of the park at the end of the day. Room was good size, nice bath, kitchenette with cook top, microwave, fridge, sink, dishes and utensils. Had a corner balcony. Pizza was okay and restaurant was good but expensive. Had many pools and hot tubs (spas) on the premises.... More
