Great place for celebrations and memories

This is a phenomenal facility. The buildings and grounds are fabulous. We had a stunning view from our room. It was very comfortable. The service was great. It was easy to have our electric car charged. The food was good while the kitchen is being remodeled. In past years the food was fantastic.

I feel since we booked we got the worse room. We were shoved in a corner room overlooking the heating and cooling units and construction materials and trucks. The hotel had opened rooms because when we were sitting outside staring at Half Dome hardly any lights were on in the rooms.

Lovely winter visit to the Park. Staff did seem a little inaccurate on what was open at other facilities. New coffee machine may want to consider tea bags for tea drinkers even if have to be brought in.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
It is the only hotel in the area with decent rooms and bathrooms. The staff is lukewarm. Some are very nice. Some are just there to do the job as well as they possibly can. The parking is limited and it is only Valet parking adding a $30.00 per day to the already very high charge. The restaurant only has a buffet breakfast for $32.00. If you are vegetarian you pay for all the fish and meat you don't eat anyway. Dinner also buffet only $62.00 same deal.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Everything is expensive at this hotel, so you just have to accept that. The mandatory valet parking could be cheaper and still be effective. The hotel is beautiful and clean with lots of neat spaces to relax and enjoy the scenery and historic surroundings. The food was excellent. Our room wasn’t ready at check in, and we had to wait an additional 30 minutes. The staff could have offered us a complimentary drink, instead he was terribly rude. Overall we enjoyed our once in a lifetime stay here, but it does feel like the concessionaire takes financial advantage of people wanting to experience this piece of history.

JEFF

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
If you are going to stay in a hotel in Yosemite then this is the best place to stay. But the property has declined a lot in the last few decades - our room was large and clean, but the interior of the building is in bad shape - water stains, worn rugs, chipped paint - and the large spider webs on the outside of the windows are off-putting. With a few exceptions the staff were not friendly or helpful. The food was average, Sysco fare. The dining room offers only steam table food, is poorly lit, but has incredible views. The last day of our stay the elevators were out of service and the staff were slow to respond to requests from guests to get their bags brought down from rooms on the upper floors.
