We had a midweek stay at the Wawona in May. There were not many kids as school was not out. Our room had it's own bath. There are many rooms that share. There is a golf course and a pool that we did not use. Our room faced the main road and golf course. As we were only there in... More

The cost of a room was of $200 per night and the rooms are ridiculously small, we could hardly walk round the bed. We were in one of the rooms with a shared bathroom for this price! We stayed in one of the cottages so the bathroom was close but we had to share it with 10 other rooms. We... More

My wife and I stayed at Wawona for two days in May 2013. I give this place 1 out of 5 on cleanliness: the first night we went to get some deserts on the porch of the main building and I accidentally dropped a small piece of cheesecake, which I picked up and threw away immediately. The next day we... More

If you can accept a historic dated property because it is in one of the most beautiful places on earth then this is great. We had a great time but its the location that made this not the hotel itself. The only problem was how tired the rooms were, they're pretty basic so we didn't spend much time in ours,... More

This was by far the classiest hotel we stayed during our trip in the West USA. At the arrival it gives a real “wow” effect. The buildings are Victorian style with balconies around the buildings. The garden is magnificent, with many old trees, flowers and birds. We reserved a room with a private bathroom. Our room was cosy but rather... More

On our visit to Yosemite, we wanted to stay in the park and appreciate nature. You can do this at several lodges in the park, and we chose one of the more affordable ones, although not inexpensive. The room was basic, but comfortable and you felt stsaying there that you were in nature. The restaurant asociated with the hotel/lodge was... More

we were there in May 2013 upon recommendation. place really looks beautiful, with white porches and somehow back-into-the-time feeling. but everything else is average or below. Having room with shared bathroom it's hard to find one wc out of order whole night, no hot water in the evening, mediocre continental breakfast... but we have some deserts on a porch and... More

Dont be concerned about the fact that Wawona does not offer TV or Phones in the room or that cell phone reception is virtually non existent. You will so busy at Yosemite that you wont have time for modern conveniences. Joshua at the front desk was very helpful with maps of the entire park and info to help us with... More

The Wawona gets one star for being in magnificent Yosemite National Park and one for being an extremely authentic and grand Victorian lodging. It gets no stars for service. Sadly, Delaware North, the corporate hospitality concession that operates all food and lodging in the Park, has gone from mediocre to worse, and--since they have a monopoly in a Park that... More

I was lucky enough to have my rehearsal dinner at the Wawona Hotel. The venue was absolutely beautiful, food was hot and beautifully presented..even in banquet form. The small staff was fun and made the event go so smoothly. This location is truly a gem in the park. Well worth looking into not only for an event, but the great... More
