Independent - accommodation in Yosemite Village

Very spacious and clean rooms! Love the river view from the balcony

I feel since we booked we got the worse room. We were shoved in a corner room overlooking the heating and cooling units and construction materials and trucks. The hotel had opened rooms because when we were sitting outside staring at Half Dome hardly any lights were on in the rooms.

We had an amazing stay! Service: 10/10 – The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. When we arrived late on our first night, they let us ice skate past the usual time so we could enjoy the experience. Cleanliness: 10/10 – Everything was spotless and well-maintained. Amenities: Perfect for all ages! We traveled with our 7- and 4-year-olds, and there was plenty for everyone to enjoy. We loved the ice skating, game room, and indoor pool, all of which were easily accessible. The resort-provided s’mores were a fantastic touch—we had them every night! The snow play area was nearby, and the entrance to Yosemite was conveniently close. And of course, the views were absolutely breathtaking. The on-site restaurant was good. Our kids enjoyed the buffet, while we ordered from the menu, which still had a solid selection. However, we wouldn’t recommend the nearby pizza restaurant. The pricing wasn’t transparent—we unknowingly paid extra for toppings when a pizza on the menu had everything we asked for and the staff didn’t make mention of this. One small downside was that we weren’t allowed to use the bell cart ourselves; a bellman had to accompany it, which made it feel like tipping was expected. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely visit again!
