"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."

"Staff was so nice!"

"This place was a great place to stay at!"

"We stayed 3 nights(king room) cause we were visiting Yosemite. We are definitely staying here from now on. It was nice, quiet, and clean. Theresa was a main reason I decided to book based on previous reviews and I’m here to tell ya that she lives up to her reviews. She was amazing! So attentive, so kind and so helpful. The room was everything we were looking for; spacious, clean, and cozy. I was looking forward to the hot tub and was bummed it was closed but everything else made up for it! Highly recommend this place and I look forward to staying here again. "

"I loved the room, I love the staff, and I love the 24 hour hot tub in pool, I did the spa and that was a beautiful experience. I would say hands-down I’m definitely coming back."
