Very Nice Place
This hotel is right on the main road, has fairly spacious rooms, and has an excellent breakfast, which makes it the perfect place to stay before going to Yosemite for the day. There are also a bunch of restaurants within walking distance when you get back in evening.

Could be better
We used this hotel when going to the Yosemite National Park. We had a very spacious king size room. Very clean hotel. Breakfast could be better. There was no cream cheese with the bagels. They used the smallest glasses you could find to serve juice. A great addition to the room would be to have a small fridge since so many guest are here on leisure and stay several days. Overall OK for the price.

Below Typical ’Best Western’
Compared to other Best Western Hotels we visited on this (and other) trips, I was disappointed. Aside from them trying to give us a different room (with only one bed), the ’free wireless network’ connection is so poor that you loose it all the time, and VPN connections are blocked. Talking to management only ended with ’You could go to the lobby, it’s better there’. If you don’t care about going online, everything is between acceptable and good, but you can get this quality level for half the price. Oh, and filling ice in coolers is not allowed.
Traveler's tip for business travelers
Don’t go there - no VPN connection allowed.
