Clean and functional if a little basic. But you are not paying for anything fancy, the location is stunning and the facilities in terms of food options are good…the heating systems in the room are old and rather noisy but overall a fantastic stay…

Great place with stunning views and wonderful hospitality. From the moment we checked in (thanks to Jonathan) to the restaurant staff (especially Mr. DJ), everyone was incredibly patient and friendly. Even though we came hoping to see snow and didn’t get any, the experience was still amazing because of the people. Truly made our stay memorable.

Rooms are okay but dated. Real keys (throwback) but overall it's what you'd expect in a National Park Lodge. Internet and phone connections are spotty and/or slow. Don't expect to stream or work there. But that's not what you're there for, right?

Only positive is the location. Rooms are very dated, they do not have thermostats, just extra blankets and portable heaters. No amenities - no breakfast, no microwave, no indoor pool or hot tub. Very expensive considering. Did appreciate outdoor tours there, especially with your guide Deano.

We have stayed at the Yosemite Lodge for years - it is somewhat rustic but exactly what we expect. The food choices in the Base Camp eatery could improve but what they have works for the people who visit in the off season like us. The menu at the Mountain Room this time seemed a bit too off.

They gave a terrible room without hot water. Showers do not have any hot water. Changed my room in the lobby 3 times. It felt my room was assigned to someone else and then they just assigned me a room which others already rejected. Staff were not supportive, when I went to ask for maintenance, they were providing me breakfast coupons which I rejected. They don't understand customers problem think just by giving some coupons they can buy out our inconvenience.Will not recommend this to anyone.
