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.

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.

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.

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.

The Ahwahnee was on my bucket list and it did not disappoint. I loved my stay at the hotel which is located inside the beautiful Yosemite National Park. Customer service was exceptional. Regan at the front desk was very helpful with our room choice. I loved staying here!
