"Absolutely charming historic hotel! The room was clean and comfortable. The lobby has everything needed to make yourself coffee and tea. There is a large fridge and freezer for guests to keep their personal items and a toaster and microwave. I enjoyed sharing coffee with my fellow travelers. It is right across the street from the Iron Door Saloon - oldest saloon in California. Absolutely recommend staying here for a great Yosemite/Gold rush town experience."
