My friend and I stayed here for two wonderful evenings. It was just perfect and we didn't miss being in the Valley at all. We loved the room, the service and the delicious breakfast. We had the backpackers special which included a great lunch in a backpack for our very long hike up to Nevada Falls. A bigger plus was... more

We experienced this hotel for the first time over the busy 4th of July weekend. We booked well in advance because we knew our extended family would be camping nearby. It turned out to be just what we wanted. While most of the rooms are quite small, we lucked out and got a large room in the main building, close... more

My dad who is a very practical and no nonsense kind of guy said 'this is the nicest place I've ever stayed at'. He doesn't need the fluff and froufrou.. but does appreciate peace, tranquility and a place that slows the world down. The Wawona is elegant, simply but luxuriously appointed in terms of comfort and ambiance. No phones, no... more

Just got back from 3 nights stay. Always wanted to stay here since seeing the hotel in the 70's so we went more or less regardless of cost. It is a bit pricey for what you get but you're paying for the location and the history and authenticity of the place. The hotel itself is beautiful to look at from... more

Our stay at the Wawona was very nice. It was quiet away from the busy Yosemite valley and close to the redwoods and Glacier point. The employees are all very kind, helpful, and gracious. Our room was small but cozy and comfortable. We had a clawfoot tub. No TV or phone. We spent the first night watching the thunder and... more

We stayed for two nights with our kids (15/9) and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We were in a 2nd floor room in the "new" wing w/o a bathroom. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed the view. The rooms have a double and twin and they bring in a roll-in bed for the fourth person. It was fine for our... more

We checked in at 3:30 and were told the room would be ready by 4:00. It was ready by 3:40 This was the Monday before Memorial Day. We opted for the room with a bath. It was very hot and there is no air conditioning in the rooms, no tv, no phone. It was a room for three and we... more

Stayed here for one night while touring Yosemite with two friends. Arrived at 10pm (after a 5-hour drive) only to be told that there was no possibility of getting any food, not even a sandwich, nor any possibility of a drink! It really is a Victorian hotel in all respects! Although the place has character, and the setting tranquil, our... more

Stayed here one night over weekend before memorial day, so the park and place were not to busy. the weather was very hot though. The hotel was quaint and wonderfully old fashioned. We had a room with a bathroom and a porch area, and found chocolates had been left for us as well, good touch. Just be aware that there... more
