This hotel is less expensive than the Ahwahnee, but it's not like you have a lot of choices when want to stay in a hotel inside Yosemite. Unless you find old hotels charming, be prepared for ancient amenities. The rooms are heated by a furnace that runs off of hot water, and they make a lot of noise, and makes the rooms very humid. Some rooms don't have bathrooms, so you got to use the public ones. The location of the hotel is far from most of the attractions except for the southern area of Yosemite. If you stay here, be prepared to always eat at the restaurant, since the next closest one is probably an hour away, outside the park, in the valley. Food is just slightly above average.
