Pros:

Clerk welcoming us was very pleasant. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Staff at check-out. I returned my key and thought to share a few minor things they might want to address before the next client arrives. This was not warmly received by the clerk. One item was the bathroom tub was not draining well and the other the inroom coffee machine wasn’t working. He tried to make it a customer problem even though I have the same coffee maker at home and another guest said they had the same problem intermittently with the machine in their room.

Heck, at that point I felt sharing they likely have an electrical issue since one electrical outlet was black and another outlet I used to charge my iPad ended up with a very hot charger.

It was just okay, but certainly not worth the $300/night cost.
Pros:

Room was clean. Beds were reasonably comfortable.

Cons:

Male clerk was very rude and didn't make an effort to make us feel welcome. Female clerk was very nice and got us checked in early so we could get to Yosemite.
Room was not completely stocked. No cups or tissues
Air conditioning did not work very well.

It was fine for a couple of nights, but not comfortable enough for more than that.
Pros:

Room had what we needed and they put us on the ground floor as requested. Adequate towels.

Cons:

Mattress and pillows were truly awful!!

Fint, hyggeligt og sødt personale
Pros:

Ligger lidt ude for nationalparken hvilket er fint og giver lidt ro efter en lang dag. Virkelig sødt personale som var tilstede til sent på aften.

Cons:

Der var desværre ikke så rent som ønsket. Gulvet var meget støvet og håndklæderne dryssede meget og gjorde det svært at tørre sig ordentligt. Der var ikke noget mad tilgængeligt og det ville være et stort plus når der er meget meget langt til den nærmeste (udover naboen)

Unexpectedly loved this overnight stop off place.
It was clean, modern, the pool area was great.
They have laundry facilities which made our trip easier.
Great location to gain entry into Yosemite National Park.
The diner next door was walking distance.
