Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite

Even though the positive reviews outnumber the negative ones, I’m not sure why people left the negative ones. I thought the Tenaya Lodge was fabulous and everything it advertises itself to be. Do not listen to the complaints on other reviews, they aren’t accurate. The hotel was nice, clean, and the staff is more than friendly. If you’re confused about the hotel’s policies during Covid, all you have to do is ask the front desk for clarification. Also, I read some people saying the walls are paper thin. Honestly, it’s just like any other hotel I ever stayed in. So, I can’t say I feel that way myself. It’s nice the hotel has a deli and restaurant on site. The food in both locations are very good. I love the fact the hotel is so close to the entrance of Yosemite National Park too.

Friendly courteous staff. Good location. Close to Yosemite. Expensive and terrible food for food Gift shop prices are very high

I had a great time with my family

Was beautiful decorated for the holidays clean, very safe and excellent customer service. The restaurant on site was not 5 Star but was decent.

The hotel was very nice and the rooms clean. It was a few miles from the park entrance. Unfortunately the staff are “snarky” and unprofessional in my opinion. That’s the reason I took away a star. During COVID the activities at the hotel are limited and the hotel’s restaurants have a longer wait to prep food so don’t wait until you are hungry to order. Overall we had a wonderful time.

The only complaint I have is that walls a paper thin. I barely slept because I heard every sound my neighbors made. Not really relaxing. Next time I would splurge on the cabin.

Pros: - Gorgeous lobby - Pleasant check-in experience, especially loved the Kids Check-In (my 6 y/o still talks about it) - Nice gift shop on site, as well as restaurant and essentials shop - Right near the southern entrance to Yosemite. Probably the nicest hotel option on this side of the entrance. - Loved the fireplace in the room. - Liked the door to the sitting area out back, even if it wasn't as private as I'd have liked. - Promptly delivered us extra sheets when we asked, Cons - Cabins were shared with 2 other families. This is not disclosed and is awkward. The cabins are also within ~50 feet of each other so it's not the isolationist feel the pictures would have you believe. - The room needs some updating, especially the electrical work. 1 USB port in the entire place and no plug at all in the table between the 2 beds. The wall plates for the switches and outlets are old and falling off the walls. - Room was no bigger than a normal hotel room. - The pizza place on site cost us $69 for TWO pizzas. That's a bit much. - We were charged a $1.25 per day "conservation fee" which was not disclosed to us at checkin. Overall for the price I paid [for a cabin], I was not pleased with the result. If I could do it again I'd still stay at the Lodge, but I'd pay less and just stay in the resort itself rather than the cabins.

We LOVED this hotel!!! It was actually nicer than I expected! They're also very very cautious about Covid and highly enforce masks and social distancing. We'll definitely stay here again, maybe even for our wedding in Yosemite next year :)

Expensive food and drinks. Dated and ran down facilities. No microwave in the room. Coffee in the room and deli was bland. This place is just way over rated. Would not recommend.

Need to clean behind the TV
