Stunning location, a room spring clean would make this stay perfect
Pros:

Location was amazing, so close to the falls. Great staying in the park as it’s easy to access all walking tracks and sites.
There were different levels of food options for families and couples etc.
Young man at the front desk was really helpful with walking tracks and places of interest

Cons:

Our room was extremely dusty. Dirty ceiling fan, window screens were full of dirt. We stayed for 3 nights, on the second day we requested our only room service for our stay. Bed sheets were not changed, benches and bathroom were not wiped down etc. we were given fresh towels only.
There was no way to turn the heat off, we had to keep opening the balcony door to let cool air in over night.

The room facilities are old and have a strong musty smell!
Pros:

The location is the only good thing about this hotel

Cons:

The room on the first floor was moldy and smelled really bad. I went to the front desk to complain, but the clerk said there were no other rooms available. They said they'd send someone to fix it. But by the time I checked out the next day, no one had come to deal with it. I couldn't even breathe properly all night because of the musty smell!

Pros:

The proximity to visit the sights.

Cons:

The room looked old and worn. The hote charged a higher rate than I booked. The staff disagreed with me that they could charge a different rate. Magically, a credit is now pending on my CC, so we will see. Otherwise, I will need to pursue it.

Amazing stay at Yosemite!
Pros:

Fantastic location in the middle of the valley was unbeatable, near shuttle stop too! Cafe and Starbucks were steps away!
Room provided heater which was great during winter.

Cons:

Staff at cafe shouting the order numbers loudly could sound quite scary for little kids.
Room was abit dark.

Convenient, but could be much better.
Pros:

Location on the valley floor next to Yosemite Falls.

Cons:

Really soft bed made it uncomfortable to sleep. The front door had to be pushed really hard to open. The parking lot was confusing with one-way signs with no clear indication of the location of the front desk or exit. The value did not live up to the $350/night cost.

Pros:

Clean, centrally located

Next to camping and, of course, the Ahwahnee, you can not ask for a better stay in Yosemite Valley.

Pros:

The location

Cons:

The property was cold and very dated. We had to pay $235 just to get in the park as we were non California residents - which I know is not connected to the Lodges but this is outrageous !!
