Best for the price in Yosemite Valley
Not a lot of options here, but the Majestic is grossly overpriced so the Lodge is your only option for a traditional hotel experience. Staff is hit or miss - some were great, some were very disinterested. Restaurant was decent but again, great busboy, lousy waitress. Rooms are comfortable but nothing special. Location is excellent for access to Valley activities.

Great Hotel
had originally requested rooms on the 2nd floor, but was assigned rooms on 1st floor. Front desk staff was happy to accomodate my original request & was moved to 2nd floor rooms after one night stay ( hotel was fully booked 1st night).

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Convenient but expensive
If you want to be right in the best part of the park, this place can't be beat, however you do pay the price for it. The room we had was very close to the road and it got loud pretty early in the morning, fortunately it wasn't bad at night. The room was ok, they made sure you had everything you needed, it was just kind of run down, especially the carpet. The resturants were very convenient and the shuttle system was great. The view of the falls was the best part of the place, spectacular !

Room with a view
Basic room with superb view(you are paying for the location not the comfort) . Swimming pool closed at 6 which was very disappointing as after a full day of walking the kids just want to chill and have fun. We would definitely stay in the park again.
