The hotel is very nice. Good breakfast and nice staff. Only the air conditioning is a bit noisy but they are often like that. There is also a pool, unfortunately we didn't have time to use it.

The rooms have all been remodeled and are very comfortable. Everything is clean and orderly, and the hotel staff are friendly and very helpful.
Good choice for Sonora.

Room clean and neat. Attractive decor. Love shower. Sink wasn't draining well so reported to desk. Matrress just ok for me. Prefer more firm mattress. Parking an issue when got home late in eve. Small llot not easy to maneuver around larger vehicles. Overall good experience.

Don’t choose this hotel!!!
Also it is extremely inconvenient to go to Yosemite.
1)After you check out, they will charge you $$$money for ridiculous reasons. If you don’t want unexpected bill, DO NOT choose this hotel.
2) No bodywash, no hand soap…. all the bottles are empty, what is housekeeping doing?
3) Pillows are very very very dirty,…

2) No bodywash, no hand soap…. all the bottles are empty, what is housekeeping doing?
3) Pillows are very very very dirty, original white pillows become yellow and black, looks like they are been used for 100 years.
4) There are a lot of flies in the breakfast area. The apples were left for several months. My family members had diarrhea after breakfast.
5) There are black stains on the toilet seat and stains all around the shower ,seems housekeeping never clean the bathroom.
6) The toilet is leaking, and you need to open the toilet lid and lift the float every time you use the toilet.
7) The air conditioner was so noisy that I couldn't sleep at night.

Wow. Absolutely terrible experience. We went through 3 rooms and ended up staying at a different hotel. First room had wires hanging from the ceiling, the bed had wires and pieces from the ceiling on it with dirty footprints all over the bed. Second room the tv was out of service and the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned. Third room they had a box fan…

First room had wires hanging from the ceiling, the bed had wires and pieces from the ceiling on it with dirty footprints all over the bed. Second room the tv was out of service and the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned. Third room they had a box fan set up on a chair because the AC/heat was out. It was 100 degrees. Do not stay here. I repeat. DO NOT stay here.
