Yosemite Riverside Inn - Yosemite nasjonalpark

Pros: Hotel staff is very friendly, near Yosemite park entrance, good continental breakfast. Cons: Floor was quite noisy, I was worried on awaking my neighbours if I needed to walk to bathroom. No fridge nor microwave in the room. Also, room was not that clean...

Room was dirty and small and old and smelly. You will find hair in a few spots, from bed to bathtub. Hotel was very hard to find on GPS and no civilization around to ask for directions. You have to drive 20 minutes to find even a small dive to eat at. No wonder once you make reservation you cannot cancel or reduce your stay. Once you reserve for x days […] you have to stay ALL x days or you will be charged. If you want to ruin your vacation then this is the place to stay at. Les mer

The room was clean, there was some evidence of renovation. We had the river view room, and this was peaceful and relaxing. The front office staff were very helpful and willing to go the extra step to help a traveller. The wifi was not very good but we were told about this. Breakfast was included and gave a good start to the day. It is about a 40 minute […] drive from the valley but away from the crowds. Les mer

Probably the next best thing to staying inside the park at Yosemite. Very private comfortable room that has the feel of being out in the woods.

The riverside Inn was great. They allowed us to check in very late. The room was clean and warm. A great retreat for our week long visit to Yosemite. The Inn is located only 20 minutes from the front gate of Yosemite National Park, and the gate is another 30 minutes from the Yosemite Valley itself. No complaints at all. Checkout was a breeze.

We wanted to see Yosemite in a weekend and it was good to stay in this hotel after the first day and have a warm shower. However please keep in mind there are not much hotels or facilities around the Yosemite area (within one hour). So based on that this hotel is acceptable. However compared to hotels in Manteca or Oakdale, the quality is by far different. […] So adjust your expectations. Here, internet means a satellite internet with 200 MB cap for all the guests!! Which barely let's you check your email after 5 mins of waiting. Also apparently there is a mismatch between hotels.com and what the hotel says. It turned out that the sluggish super slow internet is not even free, and we had to pay $5. Also for the heating system, it's kind of weird, so maybe carry a portable space heater with you. We had a baby and the room was not warm enough as we expected. There were two heaters but we couldn't figure out how to turn them on. The staff later told us that one of them was not working and for the other one we had to open it and adjust the a thermostat inside. Well, I never dared to do that on my own without any directions! The positive side, the staff are warm and good. Also make sure you check in before 10pm as they will be closed afterwards. The area outside is calm and beautiful, we enjoyed seating on the benches facing the river and relaxing. Overall it was a good stay, and thanks to the staff for providing the service. Les mer

I stayed in the winter and as such was one of only three or four guests. There are 2 or 3 dogs that live on the property, very small so nothing frighting if you're afraid of such things, but potential visitors should be aware that they roam the property and the parking lot and will meet your vehicle before you even get out! Be careful! They are tiny […] dogs and I got the impression that if I wasn't paying attention I would run one over accidentally! Additionally they bark at any and all visitors so you may be awoken by them. Also the maid service only shows up every other day (at least in the winter) this was not brought up when I checked in. You should also be aware that you are about 20-30 minutes away from Groveland proper, so if you want something to eat you will need to drive a bit to find something. Other than that, it is affordable and about 20 minutes from the park entrance which is convenient, also the beds are surprisingly comfortable! I would recommend this hotel if you're looking for a convenient location to the park, inexpensive, and are willing to drive a bit to get some food (the town of Groveland has some good eats). Les mer

Without proximity to Yosemite this place would cease to operate. Basic operation, lackadaisical everything, worst towels on the planet.

The hotel itself was charming, mainly due to location. The rooms were adequate for a night, especially because it is so close to Yosemite Valley. However, the check-in/check-out was difficult, to say the least. Check in has to be done between 2 and 9pm (which isn't terrible). However, I was only staying one night and got up to leave the next morning […] around 8am, but had no instruction on how to check out. The front desk (that you ring a doorbell to get to) had no one answering and there wasn't any clear indication of what to do in that case. I couldn't have been the first person to want to leave early in the morning. I left the key in the door and left a message about the situation. I haven't seen any repercussions, so apparently that was acceptable, but it was poor customer service. I would suggest staying a little further out. Les mer

Things looked dirty like they might not have been washed after last customer. Hairs were found in the bed and shower upon arrival before anything was used. Also the included breakfast is not included after October even if Expedia says it is. A last resort if everything else in near the park is booked out.

Rustic, creek was a short walk from the room,nice but nearly dry in the fall.The room was stuck somewhere in time, 60's maybe. no phone reception, no food, had to drive to Groveland, 5or 6 miles to eat.

Very poor hotel.I don't know why the address says Groveland. The hotel is located approx. 11 miles away from the entrance sign to Groveland, and is very hard to find. Mind that there is no AT&T reception there no GPS.

Horrible. First of all, the GPS misguides us 11 miles away from the motel into the wilderness/ middle of nowhere in the dark. The hotel implies that a lot of people has been tricked already but never bothered to take more initiative in reminding people of this problem, such as sending customers an e-mail before day of stay. When we finally made it to […] the hotel the staff made it sound as if it was all our fault. Then they told us there was no more breakfast even though it stated so on the booking confirmation. All with an uncaring attitude. I would NOT ever stay here again. Les mer

I chose this hotel because of the great value in price given its close proximity to the entrance of the Park and the Yosemite Valley (Half Dome, El Capitan, Yosemite Falls, etc). It's not the most up-to-date facilities, but the rooms are VERY spacious. Although it does have that slight older hotel smell to it, everything was very clean and I had no […] complaints. I would recommend staying here. Les mer

Thought it was overpriced slightly. If you want closeness to park then this will do but next time I will pay more and stay in the park. The fan was noisy and water did smell from faucet (well water?) . This is a good place for the "budget minded , everything else was booked" person. Continental breakfast was ok and will get you inside the park for better […] fillings. Les mer

This place was clean, and the staff was friendly, but the beds were NOT comfortable. Plus they are too small, they need to upgrade to queen sized beds. The lighting fixtures were not secured to the wall, so maintenance needs to be improved.

We had a very nice stay at your hotel September 7th-9th. We especially liked the fact the hotel is only 15 minutes from the park entrance. I have one request though. We got up very early as we were hiking to Nevada Falls and would have loved the breakfast to start at 6:00 or 6:30 at the latest.

It's located 14 miles east of Groveland. We had a little challenge finding it because we had no phone number and the map on our confirmation was no help.

It was a good basic place to stay, and as it was peak season was expensive in comparison to other places we'd stayed elsewhere. The cabin was comfortable with a shared fridge on the balcony to store food. The staff were helpful. A good basic no frills base camp to explore the park.

Hotel was a great location and right on a quiet, peaceful creek. Near Groveland with lots of choices for meals. Continental breakfast came with stay but they were not very prompt with opening for breakfast... supposed to be 7:30 a.m.... we left at 7:45 and still not open. Others left too.

The hotel is dated, but it is in a lovely, quiet location a short distance to the park entrance. Parking close to the room is a challenge, but they provide plenty of wagons to help transport items between your car and room. Breakfast was not served until 7:30, and we left earlier so could not rate it. Also, there are no facilities close by. be sure […] to eat in the village if visiting the park before returning to the hotel Les mer

It was in a fairly good location for our visit to Yosemite and the cost was much less than staying in the park.

If you only need a bed & a shower & plan on spending all your time in the park, this is a good place to stay. Twenty minutes to the entrance & convenient for both the northern & the valley road. This ain't the Ritz, but it's cheap & clean. Very basic accomidations.
