This hotel is located in the center of Yosemite Park and has the most incredible views in the world. The hotel beautiful...tho' we have never stayed there overnight...but have had lunch or dinner there several times. The room rates are quite pricey...but then I guess it is worth it for Yosemite.

We ate here twice, and the food was very good, the staff were excellent and Tom, ( he has been playing at the Wawona hotel for 27 years) on the piano was just awesome with his playing, singing, and interesting stories. If I ever get back to Yosemite I will definitely stay at the Wawona.

Very clean. Staff are super! Food is excellent. Historic place....lots to learn. What a great place to stay. I would stay again in a heartbeat. We upgraded our room to have our own bathroom. It was well worth it.
