Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nicely appointed but lacked basic conveniences like a kettle or a minifridge. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the facility would benefit from some upgrades. The location, although central, had limited storage space in the room. The dining options were good overall but slightly overpriced. The facilities were adequate, yet there were noticeable room for improvement.
The hotel had a rustic and cool feel to it. The rooms, although quaint and comfortable, lacked air conditioning or a fan, making the nights unbearable. The service was excellent but would benefit from facility upgrades. The location was convenient for accessing Yosemite from the east side. The dining experience was good with delicious traditional dishes.
The hotel is situated in the heart of Bridgeport, offering a superb location. The rooms provide a full kitchen but are cramped and suffer from noise due to the common doors with neighboring rooms. The service is exceptionally friendly but may disturb guests with late-night presence. Dining is good with helpful staff, and the facilities are quite satisfactory given recent electricity updates.
