Good

Liked: Basically exactly as advertised: as close to the park as you can be without actually being in the park.On site restaurant is really nice!
Disliked: They make full use of the "everything is more expensive at a national park" excuse. You pay absolute premium prices for a mediocre hotel - nothing bad, but also no frills at all.Amenities were OK but not in great shape.As everybody else mentions, $10 for wifi per day. It's the 21st century, really?

Comfortable lodging with enough amenities...

Liked: Rooms were very clean, quiet location next to river, small but functional kitchenette for simple cooking and a small ‘store’ for essential foods and drinks. The restaurant was ok with good service though the pizza place wasn’t open at the time. There are several swimming pools and hot tubs too.
Disliked: It’s a short drive into the park which isn’t a negative feature as staying in the park can be very crowded. Very limited number of restaurants nearby.

Superb

Liked: Location and view

Passable

Liked: The location is great and the staff were very friendly.
Disliked: The hotel is very dated and could do with refurbishments throughout the whole complex.

Very good

High priced

Disliked: It seems to be a money machine, breakfast not included and you have to pay an additional fee for wifi. Compared to other hotels it is very high priced.

Perfect if you have a...

Liked: It's all about the location: park boundary just a short drive away. Still, that is a long drive to get into the Valley, but oh well. We chose it primarily because it was dog-friendly, which none of the lodging in the Valley supported. There was a per-day pet charge, but that was expected.
Disliked: The buffet breakfast at The River restaurant was a joke. Food just slightly better than "OK", and HORRIBLY OVERPRICED. Over $50 for two, and my wife just had a glass of OJ and a bite or two of not-very-good-eggs.

Good

Liked: Very close to the park entrance.
Disliked: A bit worn and needing updating
