    ...We arrived early and registered at the front desk and were told we’d get a text when our rooms were ready; they said they’d let housekeeping know we were onsite and waiting... When we entered the hallway going to our room we immediately noticed a horrible natural gas smell, which was particularly bad inside the rooms (our family had 3 on the same floor)... The next morning we asked again and got the same response, then texted the help line on our room key suggesting that the gas company or fire department check things out, as the gas smell was still very strong and we had woken up with horrible headaches... We headed off for a day in Yosemite and eventually heard back via text with an offer to switch rooms and were told to just to ask at the front desk for our new room assignments when we returned... Upon return, no one at the front desk knew anything about a new room assignment and were quite rude to us... We headed off to relax and have dinner and did eventually get a message saying there was a mixup and we could switch rooms after all, but at 8:30 pm after a long day hiking we decided to just open windows wide and check out early...

    ...Rooms are dark with no central switch so to light the room you need to switch on four lamps and switch them all off later. We stayed for two nights and nobody made the bed or cleaned or offered us clean towels... When I asked the cleaner in the corridor at 5pm if she would please clean our room she said if you want service you have to tell the housekeeper in advance...

There were three rooms in the cottage; our room was quaint and comfortable, if not luxurious, and sort of woodsy... Best to ask for an upstairs room if you can manage the stairs...

    Usually I do not write reviews at Trip Advisor, but looks like I was not lucky with my stay at Tenaya... Paying USD 700 a day you expect at least a glass to have a wine and some water in the room... The restaurant closes at 10 pm( the pizza restaurant at 9pm) and after a day in the park we did expect to have a table for us .. we had to wait 15 minutes .. Food was good, but service was to slow (was cleat they were understaffed)... As a conclusion, Yosemite is awesome, but Tenaya is not worthy...

We were two nights in a cabin ( 900$ a night) before moving to the lodge, the clubhouse for the cabin was empty, 9:15 am there was nothing to eat or drink, not even complimentary coffe...

    We checked in and were told no reservations needed for their restaurants. When we came in the evening there were people with reservations and we had a 45 minute wait time... We asked to make a reservation the next evening and they said reservations are only on a Friday and Saturday... We find this to be very poor service and information provided by the hotel...

    ...The checkin was a little slow though but nothing too bad... As the town of fish camp is so small you have to eat dinner in one of the hotel restaurants which are quite expensive but very very good...

    When we arrived we saw a lovely place, but while parking the car we were said already “be prepared there is a long queue for the check in”. So it was… we were easy and thought to get a drink and get back later, but even to get seated for a drink, we were asked to queue up... Negative, just first come first serve... We had to wait 40 minutes to get seated for dinner… no comment!... The staff tried to compensate by being friendly, but you could tell, that they were very stressed...

    ...I was going to give 4 stars, but the staff 100% deserve 5! Check in was late and so they gave us a free breakfast, which was great, especially as the food is so expensive!... The wait for the restaurant was an hour the first night and you can’t book for 4 people or under... Tonight was only 20 min wait, so there must be certain days where it’s busier... Room was lovely and the staff are just so polite and friendly... Us English can learn a lot, the customer service is spot on!...

    ...Paying USD 700 a day you expect at least a glass to have a wine and some water in the room. But the worst thing was our experience with Andres, the concierge... Still hard to believe that he is a concierge... The restaurant closes at 10 pm( the pizza restaurant at 9pm) and after a day in the park we did expect to have a table for us .. we had to wait 15 minutes .. Food was good, but service was to slow (was cleat they were understaffed)...

On the plus side, the concierge arranged an amazing private tour into the park, and the restaurant staff were very pleasant and helpful...

    ...We arrived early and registered at the front desk and were told we’d get a text when our rooms were ready; they said they’d let housekeeping know we were onsite and waiting. Half an hour *after* check in time we finally got a text... We called immediately to report this, then called again around 7pm, then again spoke with the front desk at 8pm... The next morning we asked again and got the same response, then texted the help line on our room key suggesting that the gas company or fire department check things out, as the gas smell was still very strong and we had woken up with horrible headaches... We headed off for a day in Yosemite and eventually heard back via text with an offer to switch rooms and were told to just to ask at the front desk for our new room assignments when we returned... We headed off to relax and have dinner and did eventually get a message saying there was a mixup and we could switch rooms after all, but at 8:30 pm after a long day hiking we decided to just open windows wide and check out early... Tenaya said their engineers had investigate and that the smell was caused by hydraulic fluid in the elevator, which none of us believed…... Why Tenaya was so unwilling to have the gas company or fire department check for a gas leak is beyond me...

    Stayed 2 days at Tenaya Lodge with our Doberman....had a great view from our 1st floor room (because of our doggie), everyone at hotel was positive, happy and helpful!... Hotel was clean, modern and close to entrance at Yosemite (only had to wait 1/2 hour to get in yahooooo!!!)... Loved the concierge part but wish they had more people to help as had to wait a while to talk to them, but they were very pleasant!...

Night 2 we run out of towels I call down to the front desk multiple times again nobody answers I go down into the lobby and ask for towels at 5:30 pm 9:30 pm rolls around and someone just walks into our room while we are sleeping with towels…I screamed because it scared me and they left WITH the towels... The next morning I got down again to ask for towels and the lady said we can leave them while y’all are away this was at 7:30 am when we got back at 4:30 pm still no towels... The staff was not helpful with this experience someone texted me each evening about our experience and I told them the issue they said we will get with management never heard back...

We were surprised by our lovely room, I think it was an upgrade, with rose petals and hershey kisses and by a wonderful welcome tray of beautiful fruits, chocolate covered strawberries and our favorite drinks as we do not drink champagne... We really appreciated the attention to detail and the warm smiles of the housekeeping staff as you walked in the hallways... Our servers in the restaurant were so warm and welcoming and we felt very spoilt by their wonderful service... All in all the staff made sure our special celebration was magical...

    ...The lodge is very nice, staff were all wonderful, the concierge keeps in regular contact with you, any questions that came up they would respond to my texts immediately. It was somewhat of the off season so they really only had the restaurant Jackolopes open, but it was delicious food and excellent service... I would also highly recommend the 360 tour of Yosemite that they can book for you through the lodge... Archery was so fun, and staff assisting was wonderful with children... Lastly my husband and I both had amazing messages at the spa...

    ...Best to ask for an upstairs room if you can manage the stairs... The fitness room was adequate - there is room for improvement - but it was serviceable for a workout... There is a stables offering trail roads a mile down the road... Only one restaurant was open (and there is virtually nothing else within 10 miles), but we never had a problem getting seated, and the food was surprisingly good, if expensive... Customer service was impeccable — a hotel representative texted us daily inquiring if we needed anything...

    ...Oh I know, upon entering the lodge the pups were welcome up their own stairs to the front desk for their dog bones and welcome package. We stayed in one of the cabins, which I highly recommend, and felt welcome from the moment we arrived... Later that day we found gifts of a dog bed, dog, bowl, doggies bags and more treats... They were welcomed in the lodge our our puppy actually wined when we had to leave the lobby for dinner because so many people were paying attention to him... Yosemite is stunning and there are lots of paved trails, but the idea that you can leave your pups in good hands while you hike, or go to the pool or enjoy the spa is just amazing!... We cannot imagine what else they could have done to make us feel so welcome and part of their family!...

    A lovely resort to visit, though the temperature was hot in August. For those who only have a short time for visiting Yosemite, I highly recomend spending the money on the all-day bus tour that takes you to the sights with many chances to get off and walk around... Tenaya is just outside the South entrance to the park, so you don't have to pay any entrance fee and you do not do you have to spend your time trying to find parking at the various sights...

    This is in a great location for visiting Yosemite NP - a couple of miles to a park entrance and an hour or so to the valley floor... The cabins were spacious and had 2 bedrooms, with a living room/kitchen area with fridge/freezer and microwave... The cabin was clean and the beds were reasonably comfortable... As part of the cabins, you have access to a club house where they offer a basic breakfast (cereal/juice/muffins/yoghurt), and s’mores kits in the evening which was lovely... The best thing we did was buy salad from the on-site grocery store and a takeaway pizza from Timberloft...

    We visited Tenaya Lodge on a road trip along the west coast. The hotel is just 6 mins outside of Yosemite park so is in a great location... As you drive up you can see the hotel is going to be great... The bathroom particularly was very small and seemed to incoporate a small kitchen with coffee machine and fridge which was unusual... The pool was really nice with a nice hot tub and good seating around the edge for us to watch the kids...

    ...Located just minutes away from the Yosemite National Park entrance, the lodge is perfectly poised to allow all of the longer exploits and hikes you desire in Yosemite while providing an immediate respite when you return from your adventures. The rooms are large and inviting with comfortable beds and seating... Provided in each room are toiletries and plenty of towels for your recovery after a long day... We ate a number of meals at the Jackalope bistro and found both the breakfasts and evening meals quite well done... We chose the buffet each morning as an easy and quick alternative the the menu and then ate more traditional dinners after a long days hiking... The staff is attentive and accommodating with every request met with a smile and immediately attended to... A number of hikes are accessible from the lodge itself with out a car and many tours and excursions depart from the lodge itself, all ably assisted in planning by the concierge staff... There is, however, an ATM in the lobby should you need it... We shall certainly stay here again when traveling in the area...

    This was a very cute and cozy hotel, complete with wooden decorations everywhere, fire pits, and smell of burning logs that created a nice ambiance. The pools were nice and lobby taffy and s’more kits were a nice touch... The rooms are fine, lots of storage but a bit dated... Bed was comfortable but on the firmer side... My biggest issues with the hotel was nonexistent water pressure in the shower, tiny weirdly shaped soap (looks like a ring that breaks if you drop it), and need to request room service for next day if you want your room cleaned at any point... The restaurant on site is pretty good so no need to venture out if you don’t want, although lots of nice dining options available around as well... I would stay again at the hotel but would probably request a different room...

The living area has a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, and a Keurig coffee maker but no cooktop... Each bedroom and the living room had a TV!... Parking is relatively close to the cabin with concrete walkways from parking to cabins... There are two large gas fire pits, large enough that long sticks are needed and provided in order to make Smores (smores kits provided as well)... The outside heat pump unit is mounted to the outside wall where the king bed is...

    ...A little piece of paradise set just outside Yosemite National Park. We stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting Yosemite on our California road trip... The hotel was easy to acccess, has plenty of parking and is everything you'd expect of a lodge... The reception area is a grand hall with cosy seating, roaring fires and high valuted ceilings... Lovely welcome from the staff and the room, though a little dated, was clean and very large... Good onsite bar for food and drinks and nice indoor and outdoor pool areas... There's also an outdoor fire where you can roast smores kits they give you on arrival - it's a lovely experience and a great way to meet and chat to other guests... Easy access to the National Park with the entrance just a 5 minute drive away... You're also just a 10 minute drive from the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias... Aside from that, we loved everything about the place and would recommend...

We loved this property. From first contact with valet staff to check out everything was amazing. The reception hall was beautifully decorated for the holidays, it was breathtaking! Lots of chairs, wonderful fireplace and welcoming ambiance flood this soaring space. Our room was spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable. The valet was so friendly with a wealth of information about the area and he made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We felt like special guests. The dining room (get reservations early) is very busy yet waitstaff are attentive, efficient and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and well plated. In every way we found The Tenaya At Yosemite to be exceptional; staff, facilities and food.

Stayed at Tenaya in nov 23. Average to bad experience. Breakfast buffet was not available due to few people in the hotel we got told. Indoor pool was worn out, and kind of dirty. Vending machines empty. We had 2 bottles of water a day as part of our reservation online, but when we arrived we got told it is actually just self-service refill from their cold water machine, in bottles they lend you. They had no more bottles - so too bad for us. The spa is split in men/women, so as a couple you can’t really enjoy that relaxation together.. Room was nice, and the food in Jackalopes was also good. Waiters were of differing service-mindedness - some were rude. Front desk personnel also didn’t really provide a good service experience. I had a good experience at Tenaya 8 years ago, but after this stay I’m probably not gonna return in the future. Location is a plus.

Just stayed for Thanksgiving and were disappointed at every turn. Upon check in we were told the Thanksgiving buffet was sold out, even though there was no mention of needing reservations anywhere on their website. Zero apologies or other solutions offered. They could not have cared less. The other restaurants either didn’t allow children, were miles down a dark road, or ran an hour+ wait. Jackalopes was our only option and we ate there all three nights. The short ribs were inedible and the food runner was downright rude. The manager took our complaints and offered no compensation or much more than a quick apology. There was a 20-min wait for hot chocolate each night. The game room was stuffed with teenagers and old broken equipment. The whole staff - from front desk to concierge - seemed to do the bare minimum. There’s one line for all onsite restaurants to make reservations which ran 20-30 min just to get your name on a list. You’re stuck and they know it. The only positives were the comfortable room and location to park, and servers at Jackalopes, who despite being understaffed were doing their best. If management reads this, I hope they take it as a chance to improve even small things - like including a note about needing reservations for holiday meals on the website, offering an online reservation system for on-site restaurants, and above all else, talking to staff about how to interact with guests and trying to genuinely help instead of shrugging and being rude.

This was probably the best tour I’ve ever had and it was because of our tour guide Tyler. It was just my son and I for thanksgiving and we did a whole day tour of Yosemite with him. He was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us in every way. It almost felt like we were the only ones on the tour. Even my 11-year-old son was totally sucked into the history and every part of our day. We hit every single landmark, including some hikes and breath-taking views. Recommend this tour 10/10 especially for families.

The booking process is misleading. Prices advertised were not what appeared when I went to finalize the booking. When I called Tenaya to speak to someone about it, they claimed that it was impossible that the prices I was describing were on the website. Check out the screenshots I’m attaching and make your own decisions. Ian, you weren’t helpful and you gaslight me just a little there. I’ve stayed at Tenaya before and it’s lovely. It’s a shame I couldn’t make it work this time.

Tenaya is amazing resort with excellent location! We stayed in their garden room for anniversary and absolutely loved it! It has French tub, fireplace, patio, seating area. They have few restaurants on site. Friday/ Saturday night they offer upscale world class dining experience at Embers! Reservations are required ahead of time!!! Don’t hesitate to! Treat yourself and have one of the most amazing dining experiences in your life! Chef’s menu was outstanding!!! Every dish was absolutely amazing!!! My husband said that the short rib was the best he ever had. I can’t stop thinking about the lobster dog and beet risotto! The dessert was an excellent finishing touch! And if you think you have had the most amazing food experience in your life, a surprise box with sweets to go showed up!! All night was like an amazing firework show and it was going and going and amazed us every minute! We were looking for fine dining experience and we truly found what we were looking for!! Everything was so close by that we were able to visit park few times and enjoy the nature as well! Tenaya had so much to offer that you can stay on site and have amazing time if park gets too busy

Arrived on a rainy evening, outdoor pool was still uncovered with steam rising off of it, lodge lobby decorated for Christmas with cheery fire both in the covered portico and in the lobby. The indoor pool was being utilized, altho we were just spending the night and didn't use any resort amenities, but were charged $30. for resort fees. Our ADA room was well-appointed, but a real hike down a long hall to get to it. The Jackalope restaurant was great for my carnivore family member, but a bit lacking for gluten-free and vegan dining.

Really solid, nicely updated lodge just outside the Yosemite park boundary. It's run by the same company that manages the lodges in the park so it feels like you're already in Yosemite when you stay here. Alas, it's about an hour's drive (30 beautiful but twisty miles on a two-lane road) to the Yosemite Valley floor. We would have stayed at the Ahwahnee (which was considerably more expensive) for the convenience but it was sold out the night we were here. This lodge opened in the early 90s and I have stayed here a few times over the years. It has definitely been upped as far as decor in that time. The only thing that looks 30 years old is the indoor pool area... which features a hilarious animal life diorama hanging way up high over the pool deck. If you're driving up from LA, it's the first nice place to stay near Yosemite (and last until you get to the Valley)... we checked in and then headed into the park before sunset and had dinner at the bar at the Ahwahnee. The only downside with that plan was you have to drive home in the dark (this was October) on that long road. No cars to bother us, which was nice, but it takes concentration. We booked a slightly more expensive room than the entry level category (with patio or deck) and ended up with a not-great parking lot view because the pool area on the other side of the hall had music blasting from the speakers when we arrived (which was odd, as this was off-season and the pool was empty). There were nicer rooms in our category on the lawn with patios but alas, they were adjacent to the pool and the noise. In the future, I'd get something higher up and maybe decline the sliding glass door category. Rooms were well appointed and felt very lodge-y. Lots of wood and stone. The bathroom was pretty upscale and a nice surprise. The only downside was the extremely loud heater/AC unit... I think it's original equipment and 30 years old or just newer and cheap. Hard to sleep with it on, but it got cold overnight so we had to try. Breakfast was tasty but the service was a little slow. Not enough staff during shoulder season, which is understandable. However, the servers were really great so no problem there. Check-in and check-out was very pleasant... Cami and Chloe could not have been nice or friendlier. Great first and last impression. If there were any good alternatives, I'd try them next time but nothing newer has been built near the park in years. I would definitely stay here again... the main reason I'm giving it 4 stars and not 5 is the fact that the rumbling HVAC unit felt like it belonged in a Motel 6 and not a relatively expensive hotel. Plus that diorama was charming but pretty dusty.

Room Tip: Avoid rooms on the parking lot levels... it feels like you're in a motel and not all that secure.
