The Lodge is well located in the centre of the Yosemite Valley and provide immediate access to the valley and walks in the area. If you need to use the Yosemite Shuttle, it stops at the hotel, but due to the low season we had no issues parking around the valley. The lodge itself is very basic and old, very dingy even with the lights on and had an odd smell. They are due for a renovation but I guess this keeps their prices low. Once you step outside it does have amazing views of the mountains and Bridalveil Falls. In the summer you could sit outside the room and enjoy the views. The facilities around the lodge are fine but could definitely be improved. There is the canteen which was not the most inviting place to be. Food mediocre and expensive. There is a bar which had the fire on and everyone there seemed happier. The restaurant was quiet but food better.

Pros - Being able to stay inside Yosemite Valley - Beds were comfortable - Staff was able to provide an extra chair when we requested it (we are a family of 4 and they only had 2 chairs in the room) - Parking by Permit - we were able to park right in front of our room (visited during late fall 11/16 - 11/19) - Lower Yosemite Falls is within walkin distance from our stay - Hot and Cold water works well in showers and sink. Cons - Customer Service was really lacking on check-in. No smiles and I felt like the staff was annoyed that I asked questions (this is our first time to Yosemite Valley) - No room upkeep during our stay. We stayed there for 3 nights and there was no housekeeping what-so-ever. Recommended to check with front desk if it's only on request (we didn't ask). Luckily we were able to throw our trash in the bins outside but it was a 1m walk to the nearest bin. Not a big deal but everytime you need to toss trash after meals it starts to add up. - Old school thermostat. It was cold during our stay so we didn't need A/C but we found ourselves constantly adjusting/turning the heater on/off to get that right temp balance in the room (the thermostat is just a knob so you have to guess at what temp you're setting it to.. it's just Hi to Low setting). We also turned on the ceiling fan to help balance the temperature. The heater itself also has it's own (hidden) thermostat in addition to a thermostat located on the wall above it.

This property is very convenient to be right in the valley. The furnishings are a bit outdated and rustic but in good shape. We have a nice outdoor patio with a view. Love this place.

If you’re looking for fancy and new, this isn’t it. The property was probably built in the 1960’s and you still use old fashioned turn keys to open your room. Bathrooms have been updated. They have mini fridges and a keurig in your room. Wi-fi is spotty but I found that was the case everywhere in the mountains. Short walk on concrete to Lower Yosemite Falls gorgeous views and just breathtaking to be in the heart of Yosemite Valley.

We stayed here for my yosemite wedding and did not have power in any of the outlets in my room when it was time to get ready.the tv power dodnt work nor the mini fridge. Everything worked out for the most part but it was a huge inconvenience and big stressor for the morning of my wedding. That said, yosemite is absolutely beautiful and if i didnt have to plug in my curling iron to get ready- we would he camping instead of this hotel.
