Curry Village

Curry Village

8/10 Good
"This is probably the cleanest and most comfortable tent stays one can ask for. Perfect for first timers to Yosemite or Camps! 3 things we felt could be better - Shuttle timings was very far apart that we waited in middle of no where for 45 minutes for one when it said there is a shuttle every 15 mins. Towels were peeling off lint. We brought our own and used. Everything is a long walk.. dining pavilion or pizza place or the restrooms. After a 8 km hike day it was very tiring."

Yosemite View Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel has a great location, just outside the park with steep mountains on either side that make you feel like you are still in the park. It's beside the Merced river providing great views and calm sounds. There are multiple pools, pizza shop, restaurant, store, play area and gathering areas along the river. Oh, and a nice game room where families gather in the evenings that was very special. The rooms have a kitchenette and fireplace. The bath has a jacuzzi tub that we didn't use but some might. One thing about Yosemite is that you should plan your meals especially if budget conscious. Shop on the way for staples you can have for lunch and breakfast at the hotel and in the park. Not that the restaurants are extremely expensive but given the remoteness they need to charge a premium. Imagine suppliers in a suburba area can deliver to many locations in one trip all within 20 or 30 miles but here they deliver to one location that is 40 or more miles away. They need to charge more to make up forit. All in all great for families and couples."

"Overall was good for one night. Host was very friendly and great communication. Everything was clean except for the water reservoir in the coffee maker so I just used the French press and the shower curtain in downstairs bathroom was moldy. Air conditioning didn’t work and that’s one of the reasons I chose the home because it said it had ac, but it was cool at night to open the windows and have fans going so that was fine. Definitely bring your own pillows though because the pillows were so flat I woke up with neck ache and headache; beds were comfortable. Was very convenient being inside the park and only 35minutes to main areas including Yosemite Village Parking lot. Peaceful and beautiful views of trees outside back deck to have coffee in the morning."

"Really great location! Had a feeling of history. Very cozy. Had a little trouble with location as I had no service so no map app. I’d suggest doing a screenshot before going down the hill. The pillows were not good. Otherwise, loved it."
