Central California Hotels

"Great. Only some towels need to be changed, too much lint. "

"Room was clean, staff was friendly, room was easy to check into. Definitely an older hotel, but really had zero problems. Insanely great price for being 20 steps from the beach. Zero complaints here!"

"The hotel needs renovation. "

"You can't beat the location in Yosemite Valley. That's the only thing this establishment has going for it, though it is a huge plus in Yosemite. It's just very unfortunate that Aramark has done a lousy job in the upkeep of the Yosemite Valley Lodge. Our room looks the exact same as it did twenty plus years ago when we last stayed here. I have no doubt that the carpeting has not been changed in years...nor has the decor or fixtures. Once entering our room, the smell of urine wafted in the air. However, luckily, it was only strong in the carpeted vanity area next to the bathroom so it was tolerable during our two-night stay. The food at this lodge is so not good, to be perfectly blunt. We ate at the Mountain Room Lounge one evening. The food was pretty darn horrible and the prices high. The next evening we ate at the Base Camp Eatery (formerly the Food Court) and, though the hotdog I had was preferable to my meal at the Lounge, the place itself is basically equivalent to a school cafeteria. We regretted not getting sandwiches at Degnan's Kitchen in the Village earlier in the day and just keeping it in our room fridge until dinner time. It's a damn shame that the only hotels in Yosemite Valley are either for those with deep pockets who can afford The Ahwahnee or this tired establishment that's desperately in need of a complete revamp."

"Great property!"

"Great place we will definitely return."

"Felt taken care of from start to finish!"

"The room was clean. I wished there was a phone charging station in more than one place in the room, especially if you use it for an alarm clock."

" great location. Very clean. Buildings a bit old but clean and charming."
