Yosemite National Park Lower Yosemite Falls Hotels

"Our stay at Rush Creek Lodge was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and truly attentive, making us feel right at home. The views surrounding the lodge are breathtaking, especially with the beautiful nature and mountains all around. The amenities were fantastic—there was so much to enjoy, and everything was thoughtfully designed to make the stay relaxing and fun. One of the highlights of our trip was watching the sunset, which was absolutely stunning and made the experience even more memorable. If you’re visiting the area near Yosemite National Park, I highly recommend staying here. It’s the perfect combination of comfort, adventure, and beautiful scenery. We can’t wait to come back!"

"Overall we were very impressed by all the amenities they had. The pizza they have was pretty decent as well. This will be our go to place whenever we visit Yosemite! "

"Curry Village camp grounds are perfect for families! The bathrooms are kept very clean, the dining is great and conveniently located. The parking is also very abundant. "

"Great room and setting. Confusing area. Restaurant was excellent."

"Great place, would stay again. The restaurants were pricey, but the pizza was excellent! "

"Restaurant staff and food was very good, Check-in was not."

"I like that this place is close to the park entrance so getting there is fairly easy. The place was not crowded so noise was not an issue, sometimes it has been noisy here. I did not use the large tub, but for some that might be a plus. It provided a good sleep. I just wish it was a bit more affordable for enjoying Yosemite for more than one night. I travelled with my husband."

"Great family vacation, quiet location and our children loved sledding on the hill behind the house. Family friendly place to stay!"

"The Ahwahnee hotel is conveniently located in Yosemite Valley and within walking distance to a couple of trails, as well as the Merced River. There is a bus stop at the hotel where you can catch a free shuttle to other areas of Yosemite Valley, which is perfect if you’re traveling during peak season and don’t want to deal with parking in other areas of the park. The common sitting areas are very comfortable with amble seating and huge fireplaces that you can sit in and warm up after a long day of hiking in cold weather. The views of Half Dome are fantastic and that alone makes the hotel worth it. My only complaints about The Ahwahnee Hotel would be regarding the elevator and dining options. Only one elevator was working at the time of my visit and it kept getting stuck frequently, rendering it useless. I had to resort to using the stairs and being on the 3rd floor, this became a problem. Especially on check-out and check-in. I had to bring all my suitcases, along with my families, up and down the stairs, which was exhausting. Although, they did have someone tending to one elevator, as I mentioned, it kept getting stuck and was useless most of the time. In cases where it wasn’t stuck, there would be long wait times for the elevator service, which further delayed any planned trip for the day. At that point it was more convenient to walk up or down the stairs. Dining options at the restaurant or the bar are mediocre. The menu doesn’t have much to offer."
