Yosemite Valley Lodge

Enjoyed the calm and quiet in nature

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 The furnishings are a bit outdated and rustic but in good shape.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.

The best place to stay in

Convenient to go to Yosemite the next day. The breakfast was delicious. Comfy beds and linens. Clean.

Very pleasant location in the middle of the valley. Room are very old and desperately need to be refreshed. Excellent food options. Location is fantastic, place is lively. Staff friendly

Overpriced! Dirty and old. Needs to be updated.

Visit in November, chilly, no crowds. Perfect time and kplace to go.

Nothing better than staying right in the heart of the park where you can step outside your door for a hike, or grab something to eat, shop for souvenirs, etc. Room was clean and comfortable.

I will be making a future reservation soon.

The View was great and the walk to the waterfall so close by. Just Beautiful!!

Wonderful

Great location with immediate views of Yosemite Falls from the car park. Great woodland lodge accomodation. Being in a valley, there is marginal WIFI and TV signal. But the natural beauty is incredible.

This property is badly needing a renovation. You are paying big $ for staying in the park, particularly if you are paying in AUD. The bedding was clean and comfortable but the room could really do with a big clean, windows filthy, carpet needs ripping up. Why they don't put in the fake timber flooring which would be much more servable. The eating places did come as pleasant surprise, a well organised system of ordering, prompt service and a good enough choice of food. Tipping is not required and the prices were acceptable. Given there is no other close accommodation is what you have to weigh up.

Our favorite place to stay while visiting Yosemite. It has gotten a bit expensive but a great location.

I didn't like ANYTHING about the Yosemite Valley Lodge. Paper thin walls between rooms as well as absolutely no insulation, bed was lumpy, pillows sucked, no extra blankets, crappy dirty coffee maker, staff at the eateries, with the exception of the Mountain Room Lounge, were rude, didn't were proper ppe for food handlers, spent more time looking at their phones then doing their jobs, terrible signage, filthy bathrooms. Never again will we stay at this facility. If we had know it was going to be this bad we would have brought our camping gear and slept outside. OMG and this is one of the premier National Parks. UFB!

Excellent location in the heart of the Yosemite National Park. Plenty of great walks from the Lodge with courtesy buses if necessary. Excellent catering facilities to suit all tastes and requirements. I would definitely come here again.

Yosemite falls View just right across the property and a nice view of from our room patio. Lodging inside the park is always convenient versus outside for obvious reasons ( but of course doing so cost us more). Rib eye steak dinner at Mountain lodge restaurant was excellent! Chicken teriyaki and pasta with turkey meatball at Base Camp eatery was also good. Walkable Visitor Center and Welcome Center. My only gripe really are the thin walls of the rooms. You could hear literally everything! One room occupant decided they'd keep their tv on all night. I did not get any sleep at all!

The Lodge is badly in need of refreshing. The rooms looked like they were last painted and decorated in the 70's. Curtains are dusty, mold around the tub and the towels are well worn. And, the most annoying thing, the lights are old fixtures that have been refitted with fluorescent lamps that put out very little light. Used my phone flashlight to find my socks in my suitcase. And the internet is slow and sometimes you can't connect at all. However, the staff is friendly and tries hard to do what they can. Location is very good in the park. We were there in Late February and nothing was crowded. Oh, and our room was not available until after 4:30 and we had 5:30 dinner reservations. Still, we love the park, especially in winter when it is easy to get around and see everything.
