I read the mixed reviews of guests in this hotel. This is NOT a boutique hotel, it is not adopted to modern comfort, but it breathes history and charm. Let me explain myself, this is a place without TV in the room, almost no mobile phone coverage. We chose a room with our own bathroom, others have common showers/toilets. The... More

Had a wonderful one night stay at this Classic Hotel. The pure beauty and awe of this Hotel nestled right in the Yosemite valley is a must experience. The staff were all friendly and helpful right from the opening gate. Our room was just what we expected and well kept. We also enjoyed a fabulous dining experience in the main... More

We got stuck in Yosemite when a truck crashed at the southern exit, blocking us from our hotel. Wawona, as the southern most lodge within the park, was overwhelmed by walk ins, tired after a long day in the park and hoping to have a place to rest their head opposed to driving three hours around to Oakhurst in the...

My husband and I stayed here for one night during our honeymoon. The hotel has lots of character but don't expect 5* luxury. The rooms are big and we felt like we had stepped back in time. The staff were very helpful and the food was delicious (although it isn't cheap). The only regret we had was that we could... More

Wawona is a great hotel to stay in when visiting Yosemite. It's not too far from Yosemite village (about 20 minutes) and it offers a lovely, relaxing place to sleep. We had a romantic room in a separate building with our own bathroom attached to it. The bathroom was a bit outdated, but it felt like it was part of... More

We spent two nights in Wawona hotel last December. From the outside, this hotel seems to be very attractive. The lounge and the dining room are charming also. But we were very disappointed with our room which was not situated in the main building. When we arrived at around 4.00 p.m., it was very cold inside and we soon realized... More

We travelled there in late September and had a marvelous time. Although the drive to Valley and other parts of yosemite were a bit long -35min to an hour- the price was right and it was a different atmosphere because of laid back and less crowded environment. Had a real early 20th century feel to it. Breakfast was good and... More

Just the perfect spot for staying at Yosemite. Quiet, historically interesting and very authentic place away from crowded Yosemity Valley itself. Traditionally furnished rooms are a little thin-walled, but that what makes it quite authentic. You feel set back in time when sitting on the veranda in the evening, listening to the live piano music. Restaurant is delicious and offers... More

The location of this place is fantastic; but that's the inherent problem with this place because if there was any reasonable competition it would fail. The check-in was fine and the staff helpful. We had a room with a bathroom, but the water supply was hopeless; furnishings were basic and shabby. The breakfast was good, but the evening meals awful.... More
