    The indoor pool was c-c-cold! The outdoor pool must have been at least 7°F warmer!

    My kids (4 and 2 years old) loved the pools and plants and wildlife on the grounds. There were many ponds and waterfalls and bear statues!

    Everything was great.

    Beautiful setting on a hillside, and excellent facilities, big rooms and comfy beds. Food very good and the ‘buffet breakfast’ that was included in our rate, was exceptionally good. Great staff, friendly and helpful.

    The American hotel breakfast is an acquired taste for Europeans and takes a moment to get used to.

    Great location for visiting Yosemite, helpful staff. Possibility to do laundry on-site was great!

    Best Western Plus is now on our list of preferred hotels. The room was large, had a nice layout and was very clean. We were comfortable and relaxed during our stay. Breakfast surpassed our expectations with options, quality food and service.

    Blanket was thin and bed a little soggy. Eggs in breakfast was overcooked and the utensils were not very clean. Also when we arrived at the room at check in, all the towels were scattered on the floor of the bathroom. The kids were surprised and scared that it may be a ghost. They quickly replaced them with another set of towels.

    Rooms were clean and location was convenient. My husband liked the balcony.

    The rooms are a bit outdated and at least ours was relatively dark in terms of natural lighting. Breakfast was quite good in terms of choice but quality could have been better (we are Europeans). For us, the pools were not that attractive due to looking a bit outdated and being crowded the night we considered to go.

    Very good location if you travel by car and want to be close to Yosemite National Park (South Entry). Good atmosphere that fits a stay in Yosemite National Park. Clean and nicely done hotel area.

    Breakfast was very basic, no vegetables at all, which we found essential for healthy breakfast - especially when traveling with kids.

    We liked the size of the rooms which easily accommodate family of 5, the parking was great and the location is very close to any nearby attractions like Yosemite and Bass lake.

    Decor in lobby was so cute. Instead of dead animal heads like a lot of hotels, they had cute wooden carvings that honored animals of the area. Very classey.

    Bathroom shampoos and body washes are difficult to use, and you need to press dozens of times to get a sufficient amount.

    Conveniently located about an hour and a half from Yosemite's main attractions, with free breakfast provided. It's quiet. Nice view.

    Decor a bit dated, some of the furniture was scratched and could be replaced. Thin walls, could hear the neighbours. Toiletries were hard to squeeze from dispensers.

    Nice breakfast. Rooms spread in small buildings with lots of green. Long hours for pool and other facilities. Very friendly staff. Toiletries smelled great. Spacious, with useful kitchenette.

    Overall, everything was great. Some days, the drive into Yosemite was a bit long, but it was always worth it.

    The grounds were beautiful. Staff were friendly. The restaurant was delicious, and portions were generous. The indoor pool and spa were a great way to relax. The town had some fun spots to see. Bee's bakery, the Southgate brewery, the gift shop next to the candy store.
