Riverside rooms are the way to go
I usually stay at Yosemite Westgate Lodge but that’s about an hr commute each way into the valley. This hotel is about 20min each way, so it saves alot of time. I came here with my pregnant wife and it was easy to come have breakfast at the Awahnee, go back for her to rest and come in later to enjoy the valley some more. Definitely recommend the RIVERSIDE rooms as that’s the main attraction here. Wake up in the morning and have a cup of coffee watching the river flow or after a long hike, sit down and have a cold brew. 10/10 We decided to stay here because we were doing our first little road trip in our tesla and there are tesla superchargers about 30secs from the hotel (and even that might be overestimating) lol. Used about 10% charge to go and come back into the valley so it was very convenient.

Our room was quite large with a spacious bathroom and jet spa tub. There was a stovetop, fridge, and kitchen sink, making it possible to cook meals. We took advantage of the coin-operated laundry facilities, which was nice halfway through our trip. The rates are fairly high, but it's just outside Yosemite, making it very convenient.

Ideal location right outside Yosemite NP, very clean, in very good condition. Internet is terrible, with excellent WiFi signal strength but exceedingly slow speed, making it unusable (except off hours when nobody is using it). Multiple outdoor pools (and one indoor too), fun and free game room (despite several broken arcade games), large gift shop.

Adequate but overpriced for basic facilities
Not really Yosemite view when you ask in check in not to be facing the only road in and out and guess what - you’re ground floor roadside! Two restaurants on site - pizza is which was quick and reasonably priced for deep pan and a more formal dining room - 45 min wait on a Friday night and then 15 mins to be seated and order food. Limited menu choice, attentive staff just clearly not enough of them as half the restaurant was empty at 8pm. Quite expensive for what was on offer. Inadequate parking for the number of rooms and pools were no bigger than a splash pool. Bit tired and dated looking and the compressor in the air con sounded like a helicopter so not a very restful stay. On-site store is expensive - come prepared with supplies. Maid service only on request which suited us.

The rooms looked like they were redone, which was nice and the outside was like an old motel style. We arrived past midnight, and our room was still 95°F. I think they should run the AC if they are expecting the room to be occupied or crack the slider door after cleanup, we couldnt sleep as the AC couldnt cool the room enough in time. Our room was supposed to be smoke free, but was definitely smoked in recently as well. I loved the proximity and mad erg extra push for this place, but i dont think the price was worth the convenience honestly. My wife certainly didnt think so haha.
