Great place to stay!
Hotel room was clean and it did not smell like cigarettes. The beds were comfy after 10,000+ steps at Yosemite Park. The shower and bathroom were clean, plenty of towels to use property was quiet and lots of greenery around. We even got to see some deer.
The staff at the restaurant were nice, and a special shout out to Kyle, he was the friendliest.

No downside
We had two very comfortable queen beds in a spacious room. All nice amenities.
pool and spa: Clean and with towels handy. And it is enclosed.
We liked everything, I mean everything!
The buildings are nestled in to mature foliage making the patios nice.
