"Friendly staff and close to the national park"

"Always love this place. "

"First, reading the negative review, I was worried. OMG, when we arrived to check in the guest service workers, were so friendly, courteous and helpful. Our room was facing the mountain view, which was incredible. I had read reviews, so I knew to make reservations for mealtimes we wanted, which worked perfect. One of the hostess Nina was so positive seating us near a window where on the 1st morning there were deer in the meadow. Our waitress who we had the entire time was Caralien was so attentive made breakfast so enjoyable. The elevator operators so courteous, housekeeper cleaned are room every day. We went off season, so there is basically only one other place open for food, near the visitor center Degnan's kitchen delicious sandwiches and soup and the workers so accommodating. I recommend this hotel its history, location is a must. We were able to see everything and hike trails without leaving the park. When driving into the park it was snowing and there are no side railing or mile markers. We rented a AWD vehicle so we had no problem driving in the snow. Looking out our window at half dome, seeing waterfalls, watching deer. It was amazing. Landing in Fresno we took an hour detour to Sequoia National Park, since we couldn't check in our room till 4pm. Was so worth it, then we drove to Ahwahnee. Enjoyed breakfast the next day and went to Mirror Lake, checked out El captain, Bridal veil Falls went to Tunnel view a must. Then we went hiking Mariposa Falls, so hard."

"My husband and I stayed here for our Yosemite elopement. Overall I would stay here again! We had a few family meals and the space was perfect for hosting. The place wasn’t as clean as I would have liked but you are in the mountains so I still give 4 stars. We accidentally got locked out (so be careful with the locks) and wasn’t able to get in touch with the host and had to climb through the window lol. The view off the back deck is amazing and the property is easy to access (no crazy stairs like some other places in Yosemite west). There are quite a few stairs in the place but it wasn’t too bad. Also there is an extra bedroom that’s not pictured in the listing! "

"Loved the spaciousness and separate bedrooms and baths; We're used to Central Air so 77, and 78 degrees in the house was very hot for us. Losing power two afternoons and early evenings without significant weather issues was a bummer. Loved the momma deer and baby deer that was around our VRBO"
