ChristinJune 24, 2024Beautiful and comfortable hotel on the river Very friendly and helpful manager, Oscar. Rooms were updated nicely. Property is beautiful and right on the river. One night Oscar and the owner (perhaps?) had a bbq and offered us food and drinks. So hospitable and gracious. Stayed here the nights before and after backpacking in Desolation Wilderness. Highly recommend. ☺Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
