We stayed for one night. We turned up and found out we couldn't check in till 5pm but equally we were not supposed to leave our stuff in the car because of bears - not sure what we were supposed to do with it. The falls were dry so the view wasn't great but no one can predict the weather. The room itself was very nice and in keeping with our surroundings however we didn't have aircon in the room which meant we had a very sticky uncomfortable night.

Stayed for 2 nights in the beginning of February. The rooms are a bit dated, the hotel does go back quite a while, but were very comfortable. the winter rates were fine, had dinner in the main dining room, very good, drinks and heavy appetizers in the bar the next night, also very good with the fireplace going strong. The location is unbeatable, an easy walk to the falls which can also be seen from the dining room and some hotel rooms. Truly beautiful with the snow in the winter. Added bonus, very few people, yea!

I have now stayed here twice and like many reviewers were disappointed the first time but really enjoyed the second time. It is quite basic but wholly adequate. The problem is compared to the amazing surroundings it looks a bit bland but look past this and you will see its location is undeniably spectacular (open your door and look out on the 4th largest waterfall in the world), the staff are very friendly and the facilities are perfectly respectable if a bit "Scout" campish. Not a hotel to lounge around but a great hotel to get out there.

Luckily had only booked for one night at Yosemite Lodge, it is overpriced for sure. Our room was tired with poor lighting, the grills on the outside vents were broken which meant a draft that could cut your feet off in Jamuary. No denying the location is what sells the place being right opposite the Yosemite Falls. The quality of food in the food court was terrible but there are few alternative choices. If we did it again would stay in El Portal, it's only a 10 min drive to the park and there are about three motor inns there that could be booked at a far less price and I suspect they have to do better as there is more competition.
