"We loved our king/queen cottage suite. It was perfect to have separate spaces for the kids after a long day of exploring Yosemite. The outdoor pool and hot tubs were amazing at night. We loved all of the included amenities. I’d definitely recommend this to others!"

Yosemite Valley Lodge

Yosemite Valley Lodge

8/10 Good
"It was nice staying IN the park. Keeping in mind that’s a national park and not a luxury resort I expected less in that respect. The room had cobwebs which is okay but the bathroom smelled of urine, not okay. The shower curtain was about 6-8 inches too long and had a terrible odor to it. The front desk staff just seemed tired and worn out. Not as helpful as they could’ve been. The sports bar/lounge was nice with friendly wait staff. But the beauty of being in such an amazing place seemed to outweigh all the negative. Definitely worth staying there but you need to plan WAY in advance for reservations. I made ours 5 months ago and was told at that time that it was the last available."
