"Curry (now Half Dome) village is an unpretentious base for walking in Yosemite Valley. It is right on the spot for early starts, and the simple cabins (I was in a tent cabin) avoid the need for camping equipment. Facilities on site are well run and just what is needed. The communal dining hall is very good, reasonably priced, and has a nice atmosphere in the evening. The pool has stunning views straight up to Glacier Point, and with the adjacent shower block is very welcome at the end of a hot...

"Horrible place. The rooms are dingy, dark and dirty. Carpets are old and have an awful odor. There is no AC (bad during a heatwave! The restroom was disgusting. My family and I checked in and when we opened the door to the room, it was evident that they didn’t even bother cleaning it. There was even a leftover towel with who knows what human excrement on it! Neither Expedia nor the hotel honored I’d refund due to these conditions.. I’m very disappointed in Expedia as they have gotten worse and worse on customer service. I will say the staff was very nice though. Even though they understood, there was nothing they could do about it."
"Stayed in a non heated tent cabin. They're obvious very basic, but they're perfect for a hiking trip where you basically only use it to sleep. The location is perfect for quick access to major trails and nearby Curry Village has lots of food options and a general store."
"This resort was an absolute dream. The property is gorgeous and well-configured, and the staff is beyond kind and warm. The entire experience was rife with wonderful hospitality and we were glad we ate at the restaurant and partook of the day spa. This time was a couples’ trip; but were already on planning on returning with the entire family!"
"Room size was good. But everytime we used bathroom, we would get locked in and had to call the front office to bail us out. The lock was bad. Internet with very week to no connection. Poor TV reception, no ice around us. Fridge was a freezer, all our items froze and got spoiled. No coffee amenities for guests of two. We had to ask for them. No electric car chargers. "
"Do not stay here. From the time we checked in and checked out there were issues. First was that we had to wait for the room to be ready, and in order to get wifi needed the room number that they 'didn't know yet.' The hotel was not full but we could not book a different room with one bed rather than two. The worker that rolled our luggage in told us that it was at half capacity. Instructions for the hotel were given in rapid speed so it was hard to keep up. Once we checked in, the room was in poor condition, bugs in the bathroom, hot with air conditioning not working as 'the hotel only had heat right now' and it was 85 degrees out! We asked for an extension cord for our fan, they did not get back to us. The worse thing was trying to eat. The food at the bar was not sufficient and not open at times such as breakfast. We could not eat at a buffet that was nearly EMPTY since 'five staff had called out' and we needed a reservation and they were booked. What??!! For 800 a night there is an expectation of trying to make it work out. Like hey grab a plate, we won't be able to get you a drink or something. Not sorry! No food right before hiking. The staff is RUDE! The location is great but we should have stayed in a tent. We would have been treated better. This was also our anniversary weekend. We tried to enjoy our time the best we could but this was unacceptable. Elevator broken, no food available, nothing offered, no AC, dirty room, no bike rental, no room service since 2019. "

"Exceptional on all fronts! The price was so reasonable for being inside the park, and Vonnie was hands down the absolute best host I have ever met. Thank you so much for the accommodations, if I’m ever back in that area I’ll be happy to stay again."
