Overall enjoyed our stay. The little kitchenette was a plus. Laundry facilities were good. We were facing the road so a little extra noise, but not bad. Our biggest problem was the almost transparent curtains that let in a lot of light.

We stayed in a double queen room with a river front view, and I highly recommend staying in a room with that view. The room was spacious, clean and had a little kitchenette and a balcony right on the river, with a stunning view. There are several pools and hot tubs on the property and a large game room. There are two restaurants on site. Both are only open for dinner, but there is a market in the lobby that has some options for food as well. Would definitely stay again in the riverfront room. Housekeeping also did a great job cleaning our room although you do have to request it. Great property a few miles from Yosemite national park entrance.
