1. Neat place, nice staff. 2. Distance from Yosemite Valley a little inconvenient if relying on bus, particularly on weekend bus schedule, but still a good option. 3. Cafe menus and prices ok considering the captive market. A cheaper burger and chips or pasta style option for dinner would add value. 4. Kitchen needs cleaning. 5. Basic maintenance like fixing banging, squeaking, and ill fitting doors would help privacy and quiet. 5. Bus directions could be better. 6. Have seen better, have seen worse. I would go back.
