“Great central location”

My 3 friends and I spent 4 nights at Yosemite Valley Lodge for a girls' hiking trip. Lodging in the heart of Yosemite Valley is the way to go. We booked this accommodation a year in advance and while pricey for the quality, it beats the very long drive into the park each day. The beds were comfortable and the room was large enough to fit all of us and our luggage. We spent most of our days hiking and not much time in the room, so we didn't care about the amenities or lack of updated interiors. The room was clean enough. I have stayed in many national park lodges and this lodging is pretty standard. We greatly appreciated the on-site bicycle rentals, food court, Starbucks, and Mountain Room for a nicer dinner. No frills lodge in the heart of the valley at a decent price point compared to Ahwahnee.

“good place to stay 2 miles outside of south Yosemite entrance”

we liked that they upgraded our room to include a jacuzzi and fireplace but we realized the jacuzzi was loud and turned off after 5 minutes b/c it got hot wasn't as great.

“Only OK.”

Really want to give 3.5. Stayed one night as part of a 2 day tour package. The room was a good size with clean bedding and towels. Peaceful night's sleep. Good shower. Fridge provided. The decor is dated. A new carpet is needed. We had a view of the falls directly from our front door. The catering is not great. We had to use the canteen style place as we were too late to book the posh restaurant. The food was basic, ordered through a screen. The place was meant to be open until 9 pm but at 8 pm it was suddenly closed, and everybody was expected to leave. For breakfast, it was this option or Starbucks. The food was OK but it was not the range of fruit, pastries, cereals and cooked opions you expect from a hotel charging what this does. At lunchtme next day the options were more limited than the previous "dinner", and for choice we would have tried other places n the valley. The location is of course brilliant, with great access to trails, meadows, views, climbing and a handy shuttle bus service.
