Tenaya at Yosemite

Tenaya at Yosemite

10/10 Excellent
"Everything about this place is lovely, from the staff to the amenities! They hand out free s'mores kits to every guest, so everyone can have fun at the fire pit. The game room has ping-pong and free arcade games. There are two pools: a toasty indoor one and a chilly outdoor one. We skipped the outdoor pool because it was a frosty 32°F out there. The lobby makes you feel like you've wandered into a cozy cabin in the woods, but this is actually a large, luxurious hotel. Our room had a patio and sat just a few steps from the lobby, which was AMAZING for getting to everything quickly. We didn't have time for the activities, but from what we saw, they look worth a while! You can scale the climbing wall, hop on an e-bike for an off-road adventure, or catch a dive-in movie while floating in the pool. You don't even have to set foot in Yosemite National Park to soak up its scenery. We also ate at the Jackalope, and the food was wonderful. The steak was cooked to perfection. For a spot within "walking" distance in a fairly remote area, it doesn't get much better."
