Great experience given the price and the proximity to the nearest Yosemite park entrance (very close to Yosemite falls and Yosemite Valley). Ample parking is available, which was great! There’s also a pool, and free coffee (as long as you bring your own cup). The lobby also has basic groceries and snacks to purchase which is great for hikes.
