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.

The lodge is right in the center of the valley with plenty of trails nearby. We got the pleasant surprise of unexpected snow, but the room has a space heater which was perfect!

We live in California just an 1 1/2 hours away from Yosemite. This is the first time we have ever spent the night while visiting. Our son & his wife were visiting and love to hike. This was the perfect choice for us. Right in the valley with incredible views and close to where we wanted to be. The advantage of staying inside the park was well worth it. There’s a store, gift shop, a couple of options to eat and plentiful parking. The rooms have soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel available in dispensers. An iron and board, mini fridge, coffee pot are included. Our room also had a balcony which we didn’t use because it was too chilly. The Base Eatery was a little disappointing. They were out of many options for dinner. One of the soups was too spicy and was mostly onion but was supposed to be posolè. The pot pie soup lacked flavor. The breakfast bagel sandwiches were so overcooked that the bagels were rock hard. The oatmeal was delicious and plentiful. We had difficulty accessing the wifi. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

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.
