Elegant historic hotel, with lovely sitting areas on the main level that have views of Half Dome and other wonders. Lovely rooms. Dining room offers a dinner buffet that is not to be missed.

Red Roof Inn
Stayed in cottage away from main building. I don’t recommend their cottages. Reminded me of a $79.00 a night red roof in room. Electric outlets worked occasionally. Shower ran out of hot water fast. Furnishing’s were sparse to say the least. Did have a great coffee maker. Thermostat didn’t work. Cold in room without recourse to heat. Stay in main building rooms instead. After all incredible location.saw a few deer.

Enjoyed our stay!
A bit tired appearance in hallway and rooms, but service was great, staff was friendly, rooms were clean, and, of course, the setting was beautiful.
Brad, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's nice to stay within a national park and a bonus when you have a fantastic view of Half Dome from your room.
Kai, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible room stained old carpeting. View was of the back service area. Rude front desk manager who would not help. Told us to book directly with them next time. Suggested we needed to buy a room directly from them and forfeit our previous reservation.
stan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not recommending to anyone.
It was overpriced for the real value. Overpriced evening dinner was out of key things until we left. Cocktail in the bar was tiny at best. Valet was understaffed so it was slow and 30$ for outside parking with no loading and unloading is ridiculous.

This is a bucket list property! The views are amazing. It is rich in history and the connivence of the location is an added plus. We may make this an annual trip!
NICKOLA, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room does not correspond to the price, very bad repair condition, the plaster on the walls is crumbling and not painted, the sink is cracked, the bed is scratched and in terrible condition. Very bad soundproofing, I can hear the neighbors what they are doing behind the door.
