"We recently stayed in the Cottage King & Queen Suite at Tenaya and overall enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect for Yosemite, and the resort has so much potential. The beautiful layout, welcoming lobby with live music, fast check-in, and fun onsite activities made our family vacation memorable. However, check-in felt transactional, and it would have been nice if staff highlighted the resort's amenities.
The game room was a highlight, though it could use air conditioning. We also enjoyed the nightly s'mores, but limiting families to one roasting stick took away from the experience.
The guest room was the biggest disappointment. The suite is overdue for renovation. Both mattresses were lopsided, the "queen" bed was actually the size of a double, the carpets were dirty, and the loud AC made sleeping difficult.
Dining was inconsistent. At Jackalope's, a $22 egg white veggie omelet came with only bread and fruit—no potatoes—while the buffet was only $25. The French toast was underwhelming, with warm cream cheese and mushy strawberries. At Timberloft Pizzeria, we waited 20 minutes before learning we had to order first. My Caesar salad had cold, partially thawed chicken and stale croutons, though the pizza and wings were good.
Despite these shortcomings, we looked past the flaws because the location and onsite activities made our Yosemite trip memorable. With updated rooms, better food, and improved service, Tenaya could be an outstanding resort."
