![]() Service was friendly-one of the waitresses was fantastic while the other waiter we had one night was a bit more flustered so not as great of an experience (but understand since staffing must be difficult). The restaurant was booked for dinner the two nights we were there (they managed to get us in but it was a bit of juggling). The one downside is there is nothing close to this so from an eating standpoint you either eat in Yosemite park, drive 30 minutes to the nearest town, or make reservations at their restaurant. The pool was wonderful at night (the pool is open 24 hrs), the ping pong table fun, and loved the game room (we borrowed Clue and really enjoyed it both of our nights there). This was our first resort experience and we loved the nightly s’mores they had for the children and the different activities they had planned-some for a fee such as glassmaking while others are complementary such as s’mores. The bathroom was spacious and loved the modern touches and I miss the rosemary scented hand wash! We loved the balcony as well as the views of the stars from outside. The rooms were beautiful with natural wood and were the cleanest among the three hotels we stayed at during our CA vacation (despite this one ironically being the lowest nightly rate of the three). I’m a bit surprised it is ranked lower than it’s sister property since the rooms are new and clean and love that it’s fairly accessible from Yosemite National Park (fifteen minutes from the entrance on a fairly flat road). We stayed here for two days and it was amazing and we wished we had stayed longer! We booked it since it was on the tripadvisor center of excellence.
