The casino had two restaurants we tried a Sports Bar and a fine dining experience The Seven Sisters. The hotel has the expected assortment of Vending machines on each floor and a small Coffee House and sandwich café adjacent the lobby for coffee and sweet baked goods. One night the Hotel shuttle driver kindly offered us a ride for the short walk. It rained and the walk between them was improved by complimentary hotel umbrellas at each entrance in containers for their use and easy return at both locations. Next, the Casino building was separate from the Hotel. Bring a swim suit and you'll not regret it as you drink your mornings' hot coffee in the spa after a nice swim. The Hotel has a nice heated salt water pool for those who like myself swim laps in winter whenever possible and a large hot spa. All were friendly, helpful and made one feel welcome. I mention this because he was representative of the exceptional Hotel, Restaurant and Casino personnel. After he left he returned a few minutes later with handwritten information about the Nursery and the contact person's phone number. He knew about it but did not know the address and hours of operation. I asked him if he knew where a Native Plant Nursery that I had read about was located on the reservation. I can't remember his name but he was a middle-aged gentleman that said he had worked for the hotel for years. The valet who helped us with our bags was very friendly giving us a tour of the room. The bed was comfortable and afforded a good night's sleep.

The Bathroom had a large walk-in shower and a single vanity sink - (Two would have been more convenient as they had the room for a second).It was stocked with a Hair Dryer and plenty of towels as well as the normal bathing shampoo and soaps. Our first impression of the 4th storey room was that it was spacious ,clean and had a nice view of the nearby creek and oak studded hills. We booked a Deluxe King Room and it was more than adequate having all the little amenities a room should have such as Kuerig Coffee maker, big screen LED TV, small refrigerator and a microwave.

Spent two romantic days and nights in this nearby Yosemite retreat.
