Jeff, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is situated alongside the beautiful Merced River, and the view from our balcony overlooking the river was beautiful. It is situated very close to Yosemite, which was excellent for traveling into the park for exploring each day. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, and the on-site restaurant and bar was crucial after a long day. I’d highly recommend this hotel. I’m very happy with our stay.
