"This is a very good option for visiting Yosemite. You have direct access to all the sites you would want to visit during your stay. By staying in the park, you can get to all the sites before the day-use tourists get in the park, then the park gets super busy. There are decent dining options. There is a small grocery/gift shop, which is decent as well. But be prepared. This is one step up from being at a campsite. Bring your own snacks, for sure (but you must store them properly due to the wildlife). If you are visiting in any part of the cold season, bring your own sleeping system (sleeping bag +). I stayed in a "non-heated" tent, and it was very cold out. The "blanket" provided was totally inadequate to keep a person warm through the night. If I had to describe the blanket, I would say that it's like two pieces of nylon sheet sewn together. They are slick as well. It would not stay covering my body during the night, and it ended up on the floor. The restrooms and showers were adequate, but stay busy all the time. All that being said, I would highly recommend the location for CAMPERS who want to stay in the park but just want a step up from their own tent, or who cannot get a campsite reservation (they book up quickly). In fact, one would be better off with a purchased tent, as most are designed to keep body heat in and the cold air out. Either that or reserve a "heated" tent. But I cannot speak to these, because I didn't use one. "

"We had a river side room that was great. We were there during spring break for 4 nights so some of the food services were limited. Room was very nice and the room was large. The bath was large also, but had a whirlpool tub that had a very high spot in to manage-Only complaint of the room. Staff was helpful. It is located just outside Yosemite and has about a 11 mile drive to the center of the valley. Would stay there again."

"The location and views are of course spectacular, but at these rates the room should at least be average and this was not. "

"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! "

"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."

"My son and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at this cabin. I booked this trip very last minute and the host was able to accommodate. I read the great reviews and it didn’t disappoint. The cabin was very cozy and being able to see and hear the river flowing directly behind the cabin was so peaceful, exactly what I was looking for. The bed was so comfortable, we slept very well and the host was very nice, offered very helpful information and was easy to contact. There is a market just a short walk/drive up the road that was pretty well stocked with items needed that I forgot to get at the grocery store on the way up there so that was pretty convenient. We did have to change the dates due to a power outage caused by a recent snow storm but that actually worked out in our favor bc had we went the original dates I had booked, we would not have had the opportunity to experience seeing the FireFall at El Capitan bc it was not visible during the days I had originally planned on going so my son and I were very happy about that. 10/10 highly recommended and will definitely book again. I hope I can come back in the summer "
