Dudley, 2-night trip

Oct 6, 2025

The room was excellent! Comfy beds, clean space AND a little outdoor patio on the river was a definite plus! The facility is a little outdated, but the location was the best for the price, hands down. Everything we needed right outside the gate of the NP. Would happily stay here again if I was headed to Yosemite again!

The air didn’t work in our room so we slept with the slider door open and the stopper on the tub didn’t work to use the jacuzzi tub. Other than that I loved everything about this location.

Excellent location and family oriented

In addition of being located very near the Yosemite Valley Portal in a nice place near the Merced River, it is family and pet friendly. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family, especially the ones with pets. Our room would benefit from a renovation, but it was very comfortable and clean.

Great place to stay

Great place to stay, 20min drive to curry village and everything needed on site. Pools were great to unwind at after a long day hiking and setting just gorgeous with the river running along side the rooms, just beautiful. Highly recommend.

The room was great no complaints at all. The restaurant however has very subpar food. Worst burger I ever had. They gave us a window seat. Windows were so filthy and full of cobwebs. they need to wash them. Went to breakfast this morning. Food was OK, but it was buffet & not real warm. Lots of options.
