아와니 호텔 요세미티 내셔널 파크

Of course this hotel is iconic and should be amazing. But it's also almost 100 years old! The views are incredible and the history in Yosemite Valley awe inspiring. But the facility itself is very tired and even run down - badly in need of refurbishment. For example, the wallpaper in our room was torn, the tile grout in the bathroom was dingy and discolored, the grout had mildew, and the pain on the doors was dirty. Please upgrade this beautiful property. But our greatest disappointment was with the service. We heard multiple times that they were understaffed (as if that is supposed to make it okay to pay for 4-star service and receive 1/2-star service at best). Valet was required at $30/day, yet on entering one day there were 15 cars in line and only 2 valets working. When we were told we could pull to the front of the line we did so and to be helpful we parked our car and gave the keys to the valet who proceeded to exhort us for doing so. We were paying $30 to do their job! In the sweet shop while we waited in line, the checker proceeded to overlook us and help an employee instead. At 11pm we were awakened by an employee walkie-talkie in the hallway outside our room. As we left carrying multiple pieces of luggage through the lobby, two employees stood by and didn't even help by holding open the doors. All of this to say, the employees are not just "understaffed" but badly in need of some training in 4-star service. For the prices the hotel charges, customers deserve bett

The Ahwahnee must have been quite a jewel in its prime. Unfortunately it is in need of an update. Dated room, uncomfortable bed, no water in room. There is only one elevator which results in long wait times. Furniture in common areas is soiled and dining options are limited, with food mediocre. The saving grace is its location.

For the price…I would have thought it would be more clean. It’s an old location but the heater in the cottages was inadequate. Additionally we saw the biggest rat near their restaurant that charges $60 a person. Although very nice appearing from the outside, the inside doesn’t meet the price. Given the location maybe it why people are willing to pay but I won’t again. Staff were outstanding though. No knocks there but the facilities aren’t worth north of $300 dlls.

The Ahwanhee hotel was a magical place to retreat for a winter weekend. The grand lounge area, with it's massive fireplaces, had many semi-private seating areas to read or gaze at Half Dome or Yosemite Falls. The inviting onsite bar opened promptly at 7am, providing complimentary morning coffee and tea, with the option to upgrade to espresso drinks and morning snacks (for a fee). Wine and other alcoholic beverages, as well as food, could be purchased and consumed in the bar or in the beautiful large lounge. The Ahwahnee Dining room - although pricey - reminded us of the Hogwart's dining hall, which was of course very enchanting, and we all thought the dinner food was excellent. Be sure to make dining reservations for any meals in the large dining room. We stayed in a Classic room, which I believe was "redone", and was luxurious in my opinion. There was a small fridge (bigger than a mini), as well as a very small seating area with a nespresso style coffee/hot water maker. There are no microwaves. Customer service was excellent. The wifi times users out after four hours, but can be immediately renewed. It was a bit spotty at times, but nothing we couldn't easily handle. We celebrated my 50th birthday here on a *non-holiday* January weekend, which turned out to be a great time to go as crowds were non-existent. I am grateful for my experience in such a wonderful place. Thank you, Awhanhee!

The hotel is in a very good location, and the staff is very nice and helpful. The hotel needs some tender loving care. The breakfast buffet options need much improvement.

The property has good location but expensive. The buffet dinner in the hotel restaurant was not good, the foods were shortages. When we had dinner at 8pm, many foods were gone.
