Yosemite Valley Lodge

Yosemite Valley Lodge
3.0 star property

7.6 out of 10, Good, (596 reviews)
"Not a lot of options here, but the Majestic is grossly overpriced so the Lodge is your only option for a traditional hotel experience. Staff is hit or miss - some were great, some were very disinterested. Restaurant was decent but again, great busboy, lousy waitress. Rooms are comfortable but nothing special. Location is excellent for access to Valley activities."
