As this hotel is old, I thought the rooms would be renovated, but I was disappointed. For a 5500/night room, there were only three packs of coffee, not even tea bags, not to mention just water. The toilet fixtures were rusty. What's even more outrageous is that apart from two sheets on the bed, there was not even a towel blanket or a blanket. The phone was also broken, so I had to go to the front desk to ask for a blanket myself. Check-in time is 5pm and check-out time is 11am. The service attitude is not good either. The breakfast buffet costs $32 per person, but the food variety is pitifully small, and there is not even toast 🍞. There is no free parking yet. This was the worst experience I have ever had in a so called high class hotel. I hope Ctrip will not be so irresponsible as to introduce such poor value for money hotels to travelers. It not only cheats us but also damages your reputation.

This classic resort in Yosemite national Park dates back to 1927. At age 98, this old lady has still got some tricks and kicks. The great room is worth a visit, but I’m pretty sure you could see it without paying the hefty fee for an overnight stay. We did stay here one night and had a wonderful room on the fourth floor looking out at the meadows and surrounding rock formations. The king bed was extremely comfortable. The room 434 did seem a little dated, but it was all that we expected. We especially loved our private balcony. The bathroom had some flaws. Examples: water lingered in the sink for an hour after you filled the basin, the shower was very leaky with not much water pressure because the knob that you pull up on the tub to get the water diverted to the showerhead didn’t work very well. despite those issues, this 98-year-old classic remains fascinating. The price seemed dear to me, but I got over it when I was enthralled by the great room and the many outdoor benches where one can sit and stare at the amazing rock formations surrounding the hotel. Scattered throughout the hotel are artifacts from the original opening.

This is an extremely satisfied reviewer of the customer service at The Ahwahnee and notably for S. Molina, the Yosemite Hospitality Director of Rooms. I did not get the room that I expected when booking. S. Molina responded to my email and personally rectified my expressed concern. Excellent customer service. And the hotel itself is an historic and grand resort in the most spectacular setting of Yosemite Valley. The on site personnel are courteous and efficient. Such a great experience!

Don’t come here. It’s not worth $700+ daily rate when it’s not hygienic here. they use so much of the same furniture and fixings from when they opened. It’s a nice idea to preserve the “look” but to actually literally use the same stuff from decades ago creates such a strong dust smell, my dust allergies were going crazy. The shower curtain smelled sour. The rooms had such strong musty smells especially in the carpets, cabinets and corners. You can it has accumulated so much dust and dirt over the decades that it’s not possible to get the odor out. They could at least keep things hygienic if they want to use the same old furniture and fixings. The sink has orange scratch marks on it. If you really need a hotel, just stay at the next nearby town and drive an hour into the park. It’s a 2 star hotel that’s just expensive because it’s inside the park.

I would have rated it a 1 out of 5, except that the location is so good. Aramark employs the staff and they must treat them poorly judging from the grumpy, poor service. And the food was horrible and overpriced to boot. I don’t recommend this lodge.

To truly appreciate the Ahwanhee one needs to appreciate the hotel’s history. Built in 1927, the hotel carries you back in time. See photo. The decor and furnishings invoke the past. If you want ultra modern with every wireless and technology feature, the Ahwahnee is not for you, although rooms have internet access and televisions. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Ahwahnee is the setting. As I write this review, I am sitting on the patio outside the lobby and the Grand Lounge looking straight at Half Dome. I will include a photo. We took an early morning hike from the hotel to Mirror Lake (another photo). Just beautiful. The rooms are very comfortable. The food in both the dining room (a spectacular, expansive and historic room itself (third photo) is very good even though dinner is a buffet. Breakfast was outstanding! Bar is excellent. Overall, highly recommended.

Expectations were very high, with its location tucked away in a valley meadow close to the river. The obligatory valet parking is nice, but in my opinion more hassle than useful. Friendly and helpful staff at the reception although at the bar that seemed less of a credo. The building breathes history and grandeur. It seems like you’re stepping back in time. The room was a disappointment, premium view was a tiny look-out on the falls through a window that hasn’t seen cleaning for a long time with spider’s webs full of dead insect corpses. Bathroom was not clean and the sink was almost clogged upon arrival. After 3 days still the same, nobody cared to fix it. Dinner at the restaurant is an expensive buffet, nothing fancy. So really fantastic location, but the rooms and hotel not so much. Value-for-money therefore: very poor.

Great place for celebrations and memories This is a phenomenal facility. The buildings and grounds are fabulous. We had a stunning view from our room. It was very comfortable. The service was great. It was easy to have our electric car charged. The food was good while the kitchen is being remodeled. In past years the food was fantastic.

Dormire in questi luoghi è un gran privilegio e purtroppo non tutti sono in grado di capirlo. Il prezzo è chiaro, quindi se lo si considera troppo alto, si può non venire. Detto questo, per quella che è la storia (recente) degli USA, questo luogo è una chicca non da poco. Ognuna delle parti comuni trasuda emozioni, se in più siete fan di Shining. Colazione di tutto rispetto nella dining room con servizio cortese. Stanze comode e caratteristiche. Ci tornerei e lo consiglio.
