"Curry (now Half Dome) village is an unpretentious base for walking in Yosemite Valley. It is right on the spot for early starts, and the simple cabins (I was in a tent cabin) avoid the need for camping equipment. Facilities on site are well run and just what is needed. The communal dining hall is very good, reasonably priced, and has a nice atmosphere in the evening. The pool has stunning views straight up to Glacier Point, and with the adjacent shower block is very welcome at the end of a hot...

"The location could not be better. We booked an unheated cabin April 8-10th. I was concerned it might be too cold with lows in the lower 40’s. They give you one down blanket and you get an extra wool blanket if you ask. We stopped at a Walmart and bought inexpensive sleeping bags. I’m glad we did. It was an incredible stay, food was easy, and hiking could not be better in April. The showers were warm, and bathroom adequate, they could be cleaner but we didn’t expect much for a National Park. "
"We spent 3 nights and 4 days during spring break and with our family and friends, everything was so convenient and onsite. Yosemite was just a couple of miles away and a lot of fun activities in the lodge itself for the kiddos and family. They give out bikes for a trial behind at no cost. If you have a 4-5 year old, take a small bike along. Rest they can provide. Also had fun activities like rock climbing. You can still drive down nearby for fun food and restaurants or DoorDash (glamping). But still get to spend all day hiking at the falls or the trees. Overall, well worth it. Our friends a few years ago did a whole cottage. We just got rooms next to each other and kids were able to hang out in the evenings. Staff was very considerate and accommodating. All in all, highly recommend! I’ll probably go back again to explore more. "
"Yosemite west is a phenomenal place to stay in the park- roughly 25 -30 min drive to the valley floor. It’s a nice quiet neighborhood but it is at a high elevation, which can impact cooking . The place was clean , but dated . The pool table was a hit with our family. Pots and pans were scratched with teflon, so I would recommend bringing your own if possible. No ice maker in the fridge so bring your own ice if you need it. No kettle available at the time but there were coffee makers . It was nice that there were some spices available as well. The outdoor grill worked well and propane was supplied by the owner. The place worked well for our group which was 2 families. Two rooms were next to each other downstairs along with a full bathroom. Upstairs there was a king bed and full bathroom and a sauna that got warm but not super hot. It was difficult at times to plug in our devices in the plugs were loose and would just fall out . Other than that great stay!! "
"very nice location inside the valley, room is dark and looks dated but clean. A short walk to the Yosemite fall. Cafe food is not that good and very pricy for the quality. "
"Do not stay here. From the time we checked in and checked out there were issues. First was that we had to wait for the room to be ready, and in order to get wifi needed the room number that they 'didn't know yet.' The hotel was not full but we could not book a different room with one bed rather than two. The worker that rolled our luggage in told us that it was at half capacity. Instructions for the hotel were given in rapid speed so it was hard to keep up. Once we checked in, the room was in poor condition, bugs in the bathroom, hot with air conditioning not working as 'the hotel only had heat right now' and it was 85 degrees out! We asked for an extension cord for our fan, they did not get back to us. The worse thing was trying to eat. The food at the bar was not sufficient and not open at times such as breakfast. We could not eat at a buffet that was nearly EMPTY since 'five staff had called out' and we needed a reservation and they were booked. What??!! For 800 a night there is an expectation of trying to make it work out. Like hey grab a plate, we won't be able to get you a drink or something. Not sorry! No food right before hiking. The staff is RUDE! The location is great but we should have stayed in a tent. We would have been treated better. This was also our anniversary weekend. We tried to enjoy our time the best we could but this was unacceptable. Elevator broken, no food available, nothing offered, no AC, dirty room, no bike rental, no room service since 2019. "
