Overall a good enough stay. We had problems using the WiFi calling and had not been informed there was no phone company cellular service available on the site prior to check-in. The AC outlets by the bed were worn out and our charger cubes would wobble and not maintain contact. Maintenance did replace one plug set the 1st evening we were there. The large hot tub and the pool were very nice. One front desk person in particular, Johnny, was very helpful. Not the best location for seniors who may have difficulty doing a lot of walking as the facilities are very spread out. It was nice to be so close to the park entrance.

I like that there is a restaurant in the hotel, but entree options are pretty limited. It would be good to have a bigger variety. Facility is nice in general and I like that it's close to the Big Oak Flat entrance and a gas station is not too far from the hotel. It would be good to have a TV in the room. After a day at Yosemite, sometimes we might just want to relax and watch some TV in the room.

Relaxing & Restorative

Rush Creek is a relaxing and restorative place to return to after a day of adventuring. The rooms are well designed, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the service is attentive and helpful. It's all clean and perfectly maintained, and the wooded setting is lovely and quiet. I enjoyed relaxing by the fire pits and meeting other lodgers, and loved my much-needed massage and my spa pool soak. Yes, it's a drive into the Valley, but so worth it!

Great location for Yosemite visit

Great location to stay when visiting Yosemite. Close to West gate. Property was very well kept with lots of amenities. Room and Dining areas were nice if not a bit spartan in feel and appearance. Surrounding area is beautiful. All the staff were engaging and friendly. Special mention on the large volume Ice makers. With everyone filling coolers for park visits and they never ran out of ice!!

We enjoyed our stay and its proximity to Yosemite. We spent three nights in a two bedroom suite. The twin bedroom had a space air conditioner that did not work well, was loud, and had a bright light. We were told this was normal. New expected more for such an expensive stay. The restaurant was fine but is the only place within half an hour to eat. A decent stay overall but not perfect.

Need to listen.

While the best accommodation in the area, they need to listen to needs of the customer. After talking to them multiple times about needing a room for physically disabled person they put us in a normal room. This is very important and ignored even with discussion weeks before arriving.
