Our Stay: a 1 King Standard Room Review
We stayed in a king room on the 1st floor, and it was fantastic. The details in the room made us feel like we were on an epic Yosemite adventure.
The minifridge hidden in a drawer took us a second to find, but we were so glad to have it.
The walk-in shower is great after a long day in the park. The bed was comfortable and easy to relax in.
We had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time in Oakhurst.
