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.

Save the money, stay at the Lodge

For the price, I expected better. I used to be a gm for a luxury historic hotel, so I am very familiar with the hospitality industry. The Ahwahnee is a beautiful property. The wait staff, valets and bellmen were excellent. The concierge was rude and rather snotty. (I believer her name was Michelle). The blankets/comforters on the beds were terrible, thin little things. We were provided with extra blankets, which helped. The room was clean, except for a stain on the sofa. The food in the bar was actually superior to the dining room, but in fairness, the dining room was limited to a buffet at the time of our stay. I would stay there again, but only if I got a special deal. For the money, it isnt that much better than the Yosemite Lodge.

My god. This property has gone downhill in the last couple of years. Food has been god awful and the quality has gone drastically down. Buffet food for both dinner and breakfast are terrible. Better off going to the Mountain Dining Room. We stayed at a Classic Cottage and the room is in desperate need of a renovation or a refresh. The room was dirty. The heater didn’t work and the water pressure wasn’t even there. It was insane. And what is up with the parking?? $30 a night for hotel guest?? If im paying $600 a night why the hell should I pay for parking if I’m a hotel guest. Everything in the hotel has been rundown and need to be fixed. Trust me I used to love the Ahwahnee hotel when I first stayed, but believe me when I say. The price point is not worth it. You’re better off staying at the Yosemite Valley Lodge for 1/3 of the price and around better hiking trails and closer to everything else. Terrible place and experience.

The location of the property and the view is incredible. Unfortunately, the cost of the room does not align with what you actually get…you get an outdated room with a torn headboard, poorly cleaned furniture and curtains with dirty carpet and a room with spiders and other insects crawling around. What a waste of a potentially beautiful and historic hotel.

It is a beautiful building and property, marred right now by construction stuff. But the interior is still beautiful, staff very friendly and helpful. And because not full, we got primo seat by big new windows for breakfast buffet - absulutely stunning.

Would have been better if Expedia offered the same deal as the hotel. The hotel was offering pay for 2 nights and get the third for free. Didn’t find out until we arrived at the hotel and the hotel would not honor rate because of booking with Expedia. Expedia didn’t show parking was $30 per night.
