This BW is by far the nicest BW I have stayed at. Perhaps it is because it is a BW and not a regular BW. The gentleman who checked us in (Jaime / Jamie) was super accommodating and extremely friendly. The room was clean and fresh. The breakfast at the restaurant on the ground was wonderful with an excellent choices from plain cereal and milk to (real) scrambled eggs, french toast, sausage and breakfast potatoes. This will be my go to place anytime I am in this area.

The property was beautiful with lush trees, wooded pathways, and deer that grazed right outside our hotel room. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the onsite complimentary breakfast made the whole trip more affordable. They also had a business center with printing so I could research my day trip to Yosemite and print my parking pass.

Pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Really nice grounds, huge area to walk around, both indoor and outdoor heated pools and hot tubs which were excellent, great restaurant right by for dinner and included breakfast. Rooms felt homey and had a travel vibe with paintings of Yosemite everywhere. Really liked it! Only thing to mention is the beds seem worn out, could use some new mattresses perhaps. All in all, great visit and close to drop into Yosemite.

The hotel room is very clean and spacious. Location of hotel is convenient to groceries, bank, and local restaurants. The hotel’s included breakfast is very good. You get a rustic in the woods type of feeling at this hotel surrounded by mountain views. Staff is very friendly and accomodating.
