Great Experience Overall
Check-in was easy, room was clean, internet worked flawlessly, staff were friendly, very easy access to Yosemite by car Light feedback: shower hot water takes a minute or two to kick in, onsite coffee shop felt severely understaffed on a weekend morning but the lady working it was doing her best and was kind.
