The room was very clean, I had an issue at check in, but that was corrected by Mr. Brown, his handling of the situation was top notch. The staff was very friendly even after my issue at check in. I would like to thank Mr. Brown for taking this matter seriously.

Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites
Room was clean and spacious. I really liked the chair by the bathroom vanity it was a nice place to get ready. Due to laminate floors there was a lot of noise. The fan was a little difficult to figure out. But overall the stay was enjoyable and I would stay here again.
