Pros:

Lage und Frühstück waren sehr gut. Zimmer war einfach gehalten, für 1 Nacht in unserer Kategorie, Familiennzimmer aber ausreichend. Jedoch wäre eine.zusätzliche Toilette
von Vorteil.

Cons:

Leider war es morgens durch die Müllabfuhr recht laut. Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn die Müllentsorgung außerhalb der Frühstückszeiten stattfinden könnte

It was a good price, and we liked the friendly staff.
Pros:

The room was clean, beds were clean and comfortable. Breakfast offered a change of meat on each day and also offered fresh fruit.
The location was perfect. It only took 20 min to get to the entrance of the park.

3 day Yosemite visit
Pros:

Lovely hotel in Oakhurst which is 25 min drive to Yosemite south entrance. Nice grounds. Staff friendly, rooms were very spacious, both pools were great for the kids. Bar/restaurant had good selection of food and drinks,.

Cons:

Breakfast options quite limited, aircon keeps on switching on/off as is temp controlled as opposed to constant. It's a 90 min drive before you reach Yosemite valley parking.

Pros:

Nice location, the hotel territory is very pleasant. Rooms are spacious

Cons:

Rooms are a bit dated, there is a bit too much smell from humidity, which could be helped by a deep clean of carpets

Cons:

Didn’t like the “family suite” layout. We were sharing with another couple and thought there would be more privacy. It was much smaller and tightly spaced than we were anticipating. We would not book the suite again.
