Top Hotels Near El Capitan Meadow in Yosemite National Park from AU$186

"Great. Only some towels need to be changed, too much lint. "

"The building is too old, and one of the elevators is not working. "

"Good view. No elevator. "

"You can't beat the location in Yosemite Valley. That's the only thing this establishment has going for it, though it is a huge plus in Yosemite. It's just very unfortunate that Aramark has done a lousy job in the upkeep of the Yosemite Valley Lodge. Our room looks the exact same as it did twenty plus years ago when we last stayed here. I have no doubt that the carpeting has not been changed in years...nor has the decor or fixtures. Once entering our room, the smell of urine wafted in the air. However, luckily, it was only strong in the carpeted vanity area next to the bathroom so it was tolerable during our two-night stay. The food at this lodge is so not good, to be perfectly blunt. We ate at the Mountain Room Lounge one evening. The food was pretty darn horrible and the prices high. The next evening we ate at the Base Camp Eatery (formerly the Food Court) and, though the hotdog I had was preferable to my meal at the Lounge, the place itself is basically equivalent to a school cafeteria. We regretted not getting sandwiches at Degnan's Kitchen in the Village earlier in the day and just keeping it in our room fridge until dinner time. It's a damn shame that the only hotels in Yosemite Valley are either for those with deep pockets who can afford The Ahwahnee or this tired establishment that's desperately in need of a complete revamp."

"Perfect winter, snowy getaway cabin… we enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back for another adventure. Thank you Jeff and Melissa! "

"Cabin was perfect for my husband and my trip to Yosemite. Most important- the bed was comfortable and there were lots of pillows. Fireplace was wonderful since it was so chilly this trip. The kitchen is well-stocked with cookware that is actually good and clean (so many rentals just throw their old pots and pans or some busted stuff from goodwill and call it a day). I was pleasantly surprised that everything was clean and nice. Took the trail down to Foresta Falls and was great. Will definitely be back here again. "

"Beautiful house. Great kitchen and lots space and games. Our grand kids were fascinated with the small TV with built-in VCR in the bar and they learned to play nine ball and eight ball. Great location - snow play in the neighborhood, easy access to Yosemite Valley and very short drive to Skiing at Badger Pass. "

"Responsive host and beautiful cabin, thank you!"

"Great location inside the national park gates. "
