The hotel

Tucked on 75 scenic acres at the edge of Sierra National Forest, Tenaya Lodge is perfectly placed for a nature-filled escape. Surrounded by towering pines and just a stone’s throw from Yosemite National Park, it’s a dream base for outdoor adventures. Spend your days exploring a variety of hiking and biking trails, or join a guided walk to a hidden waterfall. When the sun sets, the fun doesn’t stop - take a dip in the outdoor pool, toast marshmallows over the fire pits with a s’mores kit in hand, or grab a torch and head off on a night hike. After all that fresh air and activity, you’ll be more than ready to sink into a restful night’s sleep.

The place is huge and had a lot of nice amenities. Room, gym and food options onsite were good. Could use more than 3 washing machines for the huge complex with lots of families. Convenient to Mariposa grove but other Yosemite stops are about an hour away..glacier, half dome etc. staff and concierge were great.

On arrival the front desk lady couldn’t find our booking but after a few minutes looking she found it. She was very apologetic about the confusion and delay and gifted us a complimentary buffet breakfast at the restaurant. The hotel is stunning. The lobby is huge with a fire place and lots of seating. The concierge desk was very helpful with a couple of queries. The room was large and comfortable with good ax and fab facilities. The pool area was great to cool off in after a day in the park. THe restaurant was super for both evening meal and breakfast - polite staff and great food. The hotels location is great, about ten minutes outside of the parks entrance. Can’t fault this hotel wish we’d been there for longer! Read less
