It’s a convenient place to stay if you’re visiting Yosemite. However, I didn’t feel it was a great value for the money. In hindsight, I would have preferred to stay a little farther away for a better price or spend the money and stayed at the Yosemite lodging

The rooms were clean and the staff was helpful. The amenities are plenty. The river access was across the street, which I did not realize, but it was a cute little beach along the river. I wish the breakfast wasn't only buffet style though. There is no take out and the price for the breakfast buffet was pretty expensive.
