What could and should be a 5-star hotel in a 6-star location is not because the attention to detail, the maintainance of the property, the poor F&B service, and given the room rate charged, the value for money just isn't there. Location wise, it's incredible, Historically significant, which makes it even more sad that it is not maintained to the... more

We just stayed at the Awhanhee hotel - a family of 3 people -, a historic landmark at the Yosemite Valley. Unfortunately I have to tell you, that it is extremely badly run. Even though the location and the buildings would be wonderful - and the price is according to Four Seasons standards -, the front desk is not professional... more

We just stayed here four nights for part of our honeymoon and thought that it failed to live up to it's reputation. We were disappointed when we got there to learn that they had overbooked, and we were stuck with a room with two double beds instead of a king. They gave us a discount and moved us to another... more

The main hotel definitely has a "The Shining" vibe but it isn't overtly creepy. Everything about it is gorgeous. I probably wouldn't stay there again, but I'm glad that I did once in my life. more

After visiting Yosemite for many years our goal was always to stay in the Ahwahnee. We managed this during 2007 and our stay I would rate as being fantastic. The rooms were 'atmospheric', clean and authentic. Staff are polite and professional. The food, especially dinner, is top class, and is a 'must' experience. After a day in the mountains to... more

Was there for a wedding. Arrived at 2:30 and despite the fact their checkout is noon our room had still not been vacated. They gave us an alternate room with a view of the loading dock, lovely. While the hotel is historic that does not excuse the lack of maintenance and repairs, particularly at rates in excess of $500. The... more

The Ahwahnee is truly the icing on the cake of Yosemite. The service is superb, & the rooms are generously sized & graciously appointed. Get a corner room if you can. We booked a B&B option which was well worth the money as we ate just two meals per day given the generous breakfast. Dinners at the Ahwahnee are both... more

I didn't come to Yosemite to see the Ahwahnee, but my stay in this venerable lodge added to the enjoyment of my all too brief park visit. The Ahwahnee certainly is among the best of the historic US National Park lodges, and I'm glad I took a few moments to read a bit of her history one afternoon, with a... more

Having traveled all over the world this is one of our favorite lodges. We have stayed many times at the Ahwahnee. It is in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. The Ahwahnee is a wonderful antique lodge in the great tradition of western park lodges. Service is great and the dining room awesome. If you value the... more

The public areas were marvelous and we tried to stay in them as much as possible. However, the room itself was small and tired. I would never pay the prices we paid again. I understand the cabins and the suites are a very different experience, but we are talking twice as much for those rooms. I would stay elsewhere and... more
