Yosemite lodge stay
We loved everything about what Yosemite had to offer. The accommodation was in a great location and was very comfortable. There were a few maintenance issues but that didn’t impact our stay.

The place is needing a full refreshment. It was the most dirty and dusty from hundreds of places I've stood in the last 10 years. The restaurants are good but the room itself is in very bad shape. To be able to sleep in the park you have to get it and they know this. Very low concurrence in a concession resulting in low value for your money.

Yosemite Valley Lodge
This is a great location in Yosemite Valley with easy access to trails, attractions, and food service. The Canyon Cafe, Starbucks, and Mountain Bar were directly across the road from our lodge. The Canyon Cafe was very disappointing. The food was cold or had been sitting under warmers for too long.

Very dated and beat up accommodations.
It's Yosemite but this place is in serious need of a facelift. We stayed in the Aspen building. This was a flashback to the 80's. A lot of things were beat up and did not work. Sink plugged. Toilet leaking. Poor lighting. Beat up furniture. Need to run the auxiliary heather if you don't want to freeze. Given the amount of money they charge you think they would have accumulated a remodeling fund since 1982. Probably the worst hotel room I have stayed in in 30 years.

Electric problems
The electricity went out while I was sleeping and I use a CPAP. So that is why I didn’t give a higher rating. Otherwise it was an amazing hotel experience.

Staff was nice, but could not speed up the process

Check in was easy. Our room was out dated which we knew from reviews. But it was 22* it snowed and we had no heat. Went and let front desk know and they did get us xtra blankets but never fixed the heat. We froze all night. Went to get food from the quick service brought it to the room after being stranded on top of the mountain because of the snow storm that came through. Yes it was cold out but the food wasn’t even warm. It was cold. Maybe the stay would have been better if we were there in the summer.
