Pros:

Nice boutique hotel in Groveland, CA! The owners are wonderful. Our room was excellent and the staff went beyond their way to accommodating for our needs.

So glad we decided on this quant town while in Yosemite Natl Park!

Pros:

Love the bathroom. Nice vintage atmosphere. But needs more towel holders and clothes hooks on the wall. Also necessary need a little table or wall shelving next to the bathtub. For shampoo and conditioner.

Lovely period property with friendly staff and nice location. The rooms could do with a bit of a refresh but overall the stay was very comfortable and convenient. The restaurant that is adjoined to the hotel is fabulous with excellent food at very reasonable prices.

Pros:

Location is 30 minutes from Yosemite entrance. Room is decent, has historical value, if one likes the home feel, rather than the hotel feel. It has a nice AC, TV, and an old style bathtub. Bedcover and towels are really soft. There are a number of books and board games available door guests to utilize. Refrigerator and microwave are located in lobby and shared with other guests. Parking is located in the back and is limited. Coffee and tea are available in the lobby. Breakfast is not complimentary with the stay.

Pros:

This hotel was perfect for my Yosemite trip. It was affordable, clean, and charming. It had a lot of dining options, especially since the surrounding area is pretty remote. Saying the owner Finn, was personable, would be an understatement. He was very friendly, helpful, and genuine. I would absolutely stay here again.

Pros:

Wonderful small hotel that's about an hour away from Yosemite. My friends and I (3 people total) booked a family double room which consisted of 1 queen bed in one room, 2 twin beds in another room, connected by the restroom. We found the room to be clean and comfortable.

We should note that the shower was a bit awkward to use, since it's basically just a bathtub with shower curtains surrounding all sides of it (as opposed to, say, curtains covering part of the tub and a wall on the other). That said, we didn't really have any issues with it.

We arrived at the hotel pretty late (probably around 10pm), when there was no one actively working at the front desk. That said, the owner, presumably Finn, left us a key to get into the hotel and further left us the room keys with my name on the front desk, so it was easy to get into our rooms.

Speaking of Finn, although I never got to meet him in-person, Finn was very responsive via Expedia chat and answered all of my questions, so I very much appreciate him for that.

Some other minor things to note:
- there's free simple breakfast, consisting of fruit, donuts, and muffins. There's not a lot, though, so it's probably not a bad idea to have your own breakfast ready.
- there is a fridge, although we did find that some other guests took some of the water that we left in the fridge, even after labeling them.

Overall, a very wonderful hotel. I'll definitely come back whenever I go to Yosemite again :)

Great little place
Pros:

Cool little hotel. Exactly what we were looking for. The guy that checked us in was awesome. About a 15 minute drive to Yosemite.

Will be much better once bar/restaurant is opened back up.

Pros:

We arrived late and followed the late check in procedure, all went great. We discovered a cute patio area in the back by the parking and enjoyed a visit and a snack while we were unwinding from our travel day. The room is adorable and functional. Love the atmosphere of this place.

Pros:

We stayed at this lovely small town hotel that has lots of charm. It's a historical building and the owners are very nice. You get complimentary pastries and coffee in the morning. They offer pre order at the local cafe across the street so there's no waiting in line. The room was clean and had old school charm. I wish the soaking tub jets were working but overall was quite and a nice place to stay as we were visiting Yosemite for two days. There are a few nice decent restaurants a short walking distance away but the only thing was we weren't informed ahead of the parking lot being a bit tricky to find initially but we figured it out. We would stay again.

Charming hotel with a lot of character. Works very well for a shorter stay (we did 2 nights). Location is central to Yosemite Park (30 ins away) and the area around the hotel has descent amenities

Pros:

This is a historic hotel that I believe is 109 years old. So as long as you understand that and go into without expectations of a new luxury hotel then you’ll be happy. The character and comfiness make up for any shortcomings. Staff was amazing and it makes you think and feel as if you’re back in the 1800’s.
