After a week long business trip I too the opportunity to take a short stay in SF and Yosemite for a bit of relaxation time. Yosemite is of course stunning, and I got really lucky as the the weather was fabulous and there were non of the crowds one would expect in the summer months..... I was really looking forward... more

The Wawona is a quaint old hotel that will make you feel like you stepped back into the 19th century. The main lobby area is very charming with a sitting area and beautiful fireplace. We found the staff to be very pleasant, both at the front desk and in the dining room, especially Katarina at the hostess station, who always... more

As mentioned in most reviews staying at this gotel is a bit like stepping back in time - and that shouldn't be read as a criticism. We stayed in a room with bathroom in a block next to the main building. This gave us a nice view over the road to the golf course to enjoy whilst sipping an evening... more

The hotel is wonderful. Forget the complains about "it's not modern". Of course! What do you expect of a hotel built in 1879? The room is very confortable. We got a room with private bath. The shower is very hot and the water pressure is excellent. It should have more cabinets in the bathroom. You know, womens usually carries a... more

I was really looking forward to visiting the Wawona. I liked the idea of a Victorian lodge, sans frills, with just the basics. But in practice, I couldn't.

My wife and I have just spent two nights at the Wawona. Check in was by a lady who did not know how to work the computer - we think we got our correct room. We had booked a room with a bathroom. The room was small and rather tired looking, chiped paintwork, old bathroom and a room heater that... more

Stayed here 3 nights early Oct. Room with no bath. Rooms and baths were very clean. Food was awesome. Don't understand the bad food comments. I guess if you want to get in and out fast and cheap well then no this is not it. This is "Dining" not McDonalds. Lived in SF for 20 years so tend to be... more

Although the hotel is 130 yrs old, my wife & I both loved the place. What really made it a pleasure was not only the beauty of the area but more importantly the quality of the service of the staff. A fine breakfast buffet comes with the cost of each night's stay & the staff was so friendly & attentive.... more

We booked our Yosemite accommodation last minute and as the Wawona wasn't our first choice we weren't sure what kind of establishment it would turn out to be - the print out confirmation made it sound a bit of a stuffy nightmare. On arriving we were pleasantly surprised, the service was excellent and very friendly. Our room was small, clean... more
