The park is beautiful but the Lodge is terrible. We stayed in Aspen Cabin and it was really dirty. We found glasses and earrings on the floor of the room. Clearly the room’s not been clean. Not even vacuumed. Unfortunately there isn’t hotel nearby.

Beautiful experience, we did camping and hiking to Yosemite and Nevada Fall.. I'm really excited 😊 The store into Yosemite Park is complete and has everything you need for your stay. Bring enough water and comfortable clothes and shoes.. highly recommend

The hotel’s location, the staff, and the Mountain Room restaurant all deserve a 5-star review. We woke up each morning to a stunning view of Yosemite Falls right from our ground-floor room in the Manzanita building. However, the rooms themselves are very old, quite cavernous, and have dark carpeting, which makes them feel a bit dated. What we did not expect was the number of furry little rodent visitors every night — we had five mice in just three nights! If you’re afraid of mice, this may not be the place for you. It seems to be a common problem, as during a search for the noise, my son even found a dead mouse in a trap behind the refrigerator. In summary, I was very happy to be at Yosemite, and overall, the hotel experience was positive — but be prepared for very old rooms and some unexpected furry guests at night.

We stayed 4 nights and our room was in the Azeala building. It is closed to the restaurants and gift store. They had only a double bed room available. The bathroom light was pretty bright if you want to keep the light on to see for those middle of night visits. The room was average but typical for lodges in National Parks. What surprised us is that the room had TV. WIFI was spotty. What surprised us is our dinners we had in the Mountain Room restaurant was surprising good. If you get lucky you’ll have a view of Yosemite Falls from the restaurant. We had one dinner at Alwahee Lodge one night (buffet only which we didn’t know) and the food at Mountain restaurant was much better. The breakfasts are served at the Base Camp building which was more like a cafeteria where you order your food from a menu in machines and then the counter staff will call out your number when your food is ready. Breakfast was just ok. The Yosemite Village is a 15 min walk away, Yosemite Falls is a 10 min walk from our building. We could hike over to the base of El Capitan and Bridal Falls,

Really simple; if you want to stay in the park & avoid a drive in & out every day there is little alternative. The basics are OK; comfy bed & enough water pressure for a decent shower. If you’re looking for more than that & are happy to drive more than 45 minutes in and out every day then stay somewhere else. If you’re not happy with the drive then it’s absolutely worth staying. Value for money is not great, cleanliness not great, no daily housekeeping, little soundproofing but did it detract from our experience? NO. We didn’t stay for the rooms, we really wanted to avoid long drives every day. The biggest criticism I have is reserved for the food in the eatery which is absolutely disgraceful. Curry village is much better equipped and much better quality. Yosemite Valley Lodge should do better, but at least provides the basics. The eatery is a disgrace
