Best for the price in Yosemite Valley
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.

Die Zimmer sind in Ordnung, geräumig, mit Terrasse oder Balkon. Allerdings zahlt man für solch ein Hotelzimmer in anderer Lage höchstens die Hälfte. Ärgerlich ist die Restaurant Situation: Zum Frühstück und Abendessen muss man in ein ziemlich überlaufenes und ungemütliches Selbstbedienungsrestaurant mit nicht gerade ansprechendem Angebot. Alternative ist ein überteuertens Restaurant. Am besten Lebensmittel mitbringen und sich selbst versorgen. Zimmer und Terrasse haben jeweils einen Esstisch. Kühlschrank ist ebenfalls vorhanden.

Very good accommodation.
Very good hotel in Yosemite Valley close to all the sights. Ideal for walking, climbing or simply sightseeing. Clean, well appointed room, very quiet, with friendly, helpful staff. Would recommend this for visits to Yosemite.

Great Hotel
had originally requested rooms on the 2nd floor, but was assigned rooms on 1st floor. Front desk staff was happy to accomodate my original request & was moved to 2nd floor rooms after one night stay ( hotel was fully booked 1st night).

Convenient but expensive
If you want to be right in the best part of the park, this place can't be beat, however you do pay the price for it. The room we had was very close to the road and it got loud pretty early in the morning, fortunately it wasn't bad at night. The room was ok, they made sure you had everything you needed, it was just kind of run down, especially the carpet. The resturants were very convenient and the shuttle system was great. The view of the falls was the best part of the place, spectacular !

Room with a view
Basic room with superb view(you are paying for the location not the comfort) . Swimming pool closed at 6 which was very disappointing as after a full day of walking the kids just want to chill and have fun. We would definitely stay in the park again.

Outside door on ground floor was broken. We booked a room to share with another couple but facilities were not set up for four people. Had to request more pillows, coffee, cups. Made two phone calls to reception to request and took half an hour before they arrived. Poor quality for price of room.

ヨセミテバレーが満喫できるロッジ
ヨセミテ公園内の宿泊施設の中では、比較的安く宿泊できるロッジです。 せっかくヨセミテに訪れるので、このロッジに宿泊して朝から晩まで満喫することをおすすめします。

Usual National Park standards
As we arrived outside the lodge reception there are no notices to tell you to check in before unloading your vehicle, so we trudged into the reception with all our luggage only to find that after checking in we had to reload to drive to our accommodation. We visited in early April and it was busy, with parking outside our lodge difficult, however once you've parked you don't need your car again as the free shuttle buses are great. Yosemite Falls Lodge is in a wonderful location below the Falls which are a little noisy at night but hey this is nature at its most awesome.

Nice hotel room in amazing National Park
Hotel is great in terms of being inside the park and easy access to the free shuttle, along with lots of parking nearby at the hotel itself. We'd stay again. Only things to point out are: The keys are old fashioned keys, and so needing to keep track of it becomes a little difficult. The heater in the hotel room was quite loud.

Poor Food Court
Overall service @ food in the cafeteria in the Food Court was very poor. Long delays & staff while friendly were not trained well to deal with large groups of people. Prices for what was available were too high.

Yosemite Lodge at the Falls - Yosemite National Pa
Stayed for week. New park facility management company called Aramark has taken over from the Delaware & has made extensive changes & improvements in a very short time. Restaurant food in the Food Court has improved dramatically from past. Maid service was followed up by a supervisor double-checking service. Room decor appears to be updated and new including painting, not sure about carpeting. Some services not open yet for season since this visit was in March and summer season is not here yet. We've stayed in this hotel several times in past and have yet to have a complaint about anything.

Perfect location: right next to the falls, food court and bus stop inside the park and reasonably priced. Rooms were small but why would you want to stay indoors in a national park?
