I didn't like ANYTHING about the Yosemite Valley Lodge. Paper thin walls between rooms as well as absolutely no insulation, bed was lumpy, pillows sucked, no extra blankets, crappy dirty coffee maker, staff at the eateries, with the exception of the Mountain Room Lounge, were rude, didn't were proper ppe for food handlers, spent more time looking at their phones then doing their jobs, terrible signage, filthy bathrooms. Never again will we stay at this facility. If we had know it was going to be this bad we would have brought our camping gear and slept outside. OMG and this is one of the premier National Parks. UFB!

Excellent location in the heart of the Yosemite National Park. Plenty of great walks from the Lodge with courtesy buses if necessary. Excellent catering facilities to suit all tastes and requirements. I would definitely come here again.

Yosemite falls View just right across the property and a nice view of from our room patio. Lodging inside the park is always convenient versus outside for obvious reasons ( but of course doing so cost us more). Rib eye steak dinner at Mountain lodge restaurant was excellent! Chicken teriyaki and pasta with turkey meatball at Base Camp eatery was also good. Walkable Visitor Center and Welcome Center. My only gripe really are the thin walls of the rooms. You could hear literally everything! One room occupant decided they'd keep their tv on all night. I did not get any sleep at all!

The Lodge is badly in need of refreshing. The rooms looked like they were last painted and decorated in the 70's. Curtains are dusty, mold around the tub and the towels are well worn. And, the most annoying thing, the lights are old fixtures that have been refitted with fluorescent lamps that put out very little light. Used my phone flashlight to find my socks in my suitcase. And the internet is slow and sometimes you can't connect at all. However, the staff is friendly and tries hard to do what they can. Location is very good in the park. We were there in Late February and nothing was crowded. Oh, and our room was not available until after 4:30 and we had 5:30 dinner reservations. Still, we love the park, especially in winter when it is easy to get around and see everything.

Great location in a beautifully setting

This location CAN'T be beat. We basically walked across the street to Camp 4 for a Yosemite Falls hike, and then had easy access to the 1.5 mile walk to the El Capitan picnic area to view the firefalls. The food from the lounge was delicious and the service was incredible. The food from Basecamp Eatery was just okay. Kind of overpriced cafeteria food. Except for the pizza, the "personal pizza" was enough to share and tasted pretty good—especially after a 6.4 mile hike. We stayed in a king room on the end in the Alder building. The location right across from the lobby was great, no view other than trees outside our window. Even though I know our building was full, we never heard a peep from anyone else through the walls during our stay. The bed was too soft for my personal preference, but my husband thought it was fine. I felt like the room looked nicer in the pictures, but maybe some rooms have been updated and ours wasn’t? It was fine, just pretty worn with some cobwebs here and there. All in all, we would stay here again.

Location, location, location.

Great location in the middle of the valley, walk-able to trail heads and beautiful attractions. Clean and good housekeeping. The accommodation is super dated. Doors to exterior didn't work, and caution tape around our porch area? TV didn't work, but unnecessary in YOSEMITE! Heat didn't work, we had to sleep in our winter layers! I told the desk about this in the morning as we got back late from stargazing and didn't want to move rooms late. The desk gave us two complimentary breakfast tickets even thought there were 3 of us in the room. I didn't want to have a negative interaction so I didn't protest. Paid nearly $400 for this room, very disappointing, would of been nice to be comped a night in the future or for that one since the reason opted for the splurge was for comfort in the winter for my kids.

Half a dozen pillows and none useable unless you can sleep with your head at an 80 degree angle. Original room electric wiring must have been put in 100 years ago; took 10 minutes to just find a light switch in the fading light of sunset.
