It was noisy, construction on the property or maybe we were near a loud machine, housekeeping didn’t show up in spite of repeated requests, food at the restaurant was very very greasy (lots of butter in everything!) and overpriced.

Our Stay @ Rush Creek - Yosemite

Our stay was amazing! The amenities are on-point. I like how they have General Store that has well-thought off items that a family would need. Their cafe also has delicious sandwiches and pastries. The swimming pool’s heated and open 24 hours. The kids also had a fun time playing as there are different options like zip lining, rock climbing…One thing to note is that the room needs to be updated. The mirror in the bathroom was rusty and the wood bench by the beds looked worn out. But, overall, we had an awesome time!

Property was clean and all, will be staying here again. The only thing we didn't like was the walk all the way to the rooms with our belongings. Parking is kind of far unless you stay at the villas.. But I can live with that. Over all it was a good place

Enjoyed our stay

The service and staff were top notch, very helpful and friendly. We used the pool, hot tubs, spa, and game/kids room. We didn't use the playground bc it snowed. FYI: Internet is spotty, i'm guessing bc the entire hotel is sharing 1 satellite service.
