One-night summer stay.

We stayed for one night on our way to Yosemite from Fresno. No one was at the front desk so we waited 15 minutes to check in. Disappointed that the tavern was closed for the summer and they offered a very limited continental breakfast. Room was comfortable but we felt like we were in the basement. It was a larger room with a sitting room, but would have preferred a standard room with more sun light.

Feels like you're sleeping in the hallway

I wish I'd taken the poor reviews more seriously. For the price, these problems were deal-breakers: * Small rooms, squeaky floors and regular foot traffic make it feel like you're sleeping in the hallway. * Soft beds that transfer motion. Other challenges that certainly didn't help: * Worst complimentary breakfast I've ever seen. Reheated Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits and a sad "continental" spread. * Restaurant was closed so we had to get back in the car to drive to dinner after hours on the road. * Strange grounds - felt like a few buildings and a motel pool that were placed in a random spot. Missed opportunity to include some fire pits or landscaping that would add ambiance. Veranda placement is also not conducive to enjoying a nice relaxing view. * Overall feeling of a property with a skeleton crew that's not being run with a lot of care. We did enjoy their common space, which was nicely decorated. Also, the rooms were clean and the few staff that were there seemed friendly. Would not recommend.

relaxing area, very calm, clean rooms. Could improve the quality of the breakfast, very good service but the choices offered is below what we have seen in other similar places in California. Overall, this is a very good place to stay for 1 or 2 nights.

I have booked this hotel by mistake and tryed to cancel the reservation the same day. I have spent a lot of time with this mission impossible. Sent several mails to 2 different mail-adresses. Tryed to call without success. Finally, they booked 278 € from my VISA. I cannot recommend this people.

Beautiful grounds and Historic building but...

A charming historic hotel in Oakhurst, in good proximity to Yosemite's southern entrance. Extremely friendly staff and very clean room and grounds. Exquisite landscaping and peaceful setting. Plenty of free parking. Breakfast was simple, no hot options but enough to get you started. Bed was comfortable. Unfortunately I will never return to this hotel because it has zero insulation anywhere. I understand that's a risk you take staying in an old building and that they weren't built like that. Doors, walls, windows, you hear everything everywhere. Every conversation, every footfall. Also the smallest shower stall I've ever seen with very weak pressure. Shared balcony was a problem when my neighbors checked in at 8pm, yes I heard the entire conversation with staff showing them the room (with small children), and then they decided to have a dinner party right next to my windows and balcony doors. I gave them until 10 and after I called the front desk, they quieted down but the lack of privacy and any kind of sound insulation is a major downside of this otherwise charming and historic building.
