Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
It is the only hotel in the area with decent rooms and bathrooms. The staff is lukewarm. Some are very nice. Some are just there to do the job as well as they possibly can. The parking is limited and it is only Valet parking adding a $30.00 per day to the already very high charge. The restaurant only has a buffet breakfast for $32.00. If you are vegetarian you pay for all the fish and meat you don't eat anyway. Dinner also buffet only $62.00 same deal.

We loved the hotel and most of the staff. Our only complaint was with the dining room and the staff taking reservations and checking you in. They were rude and really did not care if you ate there or not so we chose not to. We ended up in the bar with a delightful waitress Debby and decent food.

The rooms( king size ) are fine, nothing special but comfortable. A down comforter in December would be perfect. The bathrooms are subpar with poor plaster in ceilings and poorly hung wallpaper. This is an almost 100 year old hotel but small room improvements would help. With that said, the views are spectacular, most of the staff are happy and helpful.

My stay was great but I wish there was a microwave in the room already as I was traveling with my daughter. We had to ask for one separately. The availability of a hotel gym would’ve been nice as well.

The Ahwahnee was on my bucket list and it did not disappoint. I loved my stay at the hotel which is located inside the beautiful Yosemite National Park. Customer service was exceptional. Regan at the front desk was very helpful with our room choice. I loved staying here!
