Great place to stay, 20min drive to curry village and everything needed on site. Pools were great to unwind at after a long day hiking and setting just gorgeous with the river running along side the rooms, just beautiful. Highly recommend.

Great location. Ok food

Great location and just outside the park. Very clean. Only downside is the food options. The pizza place was great. The restaurant was dated and just ok. Overpriced and you have no other choices.

Location, Location,Location

We stayed in the older section (west side) which was okay. Plumbing needs some work and maybe some updates for the $600/night price. Skip the sit down restaurant, thank God the pizza restaurant is really good. The resort staff was great, quick to respond and friendly. This place is two miles from the Park entrance in the best area to stay when visiting Yosemite. Easy access to all areas of the Park.
Steps from our room.

Absolutely loved the balcony looking over the rapid flowing water from the waterfalls at Yosemite. Place was clean, service was good. Park entrance was only 2 miles away. Would definitely stay there again.
