The natural surroundings are stunning, and the hotel building is a beautiful historic landmark. The rooms and bathrooms are literally from the 1900s, but everything works perfectly. Just keep in mind the restaurant closes very early and there are no nearby options—they could really extend the hours. Wi-Fi is only available in the lobby, and parking fills up quickly in the well-lit areas, so it’s best to arrive early. The staff was friendly, but none of them spoke Spanish

This lovely Victorian hotel maintains all the character of a late 19th century timber construction, it is in a lovely location, surrounded by the woodlands in Yosemite national park. The Rooms are comfortable and well appointed however some have a shared bathroom. The lounge and bar area is open and homely and the piano player plays and sings to a wide variety of music. Very entertaining.

We loved our time here at Wawona. It's full of old character/architecture. We booked a room with a private bath and stayed here 2 nights. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily along with an open bar. Wifi is limited but can make calls and send text on wifi calling. Make sure to walk around the ground they are beautiful. You do have to pay the National Park Entry prior to arriving at the hotel as well.

Pros: Good location within the Yosemite National Park. Beautiful heritage hotel and well-maintained. Price is reasonable compared to alternatives. Shared bathrooms were very clean and well-lit (see pics). Fountain-facing rooms are quiet, but not street-facing rooms. Has tennis courts and disc golf. Equipment provided free (not for golf) by front desk. Cons: Room was quite tight for four adults. No views of any Yosemite attraction from hotel. Can't even get a coffee until 7 am. Restaurant closes at 9 pm. No shops or restaurants within a 45-minute drive radius. No AC in room (two fans are provided instead). Was quite hot in July although the nights cooled off. Parking is a short walk from rooms and so carrying luggage was a challenge. Older bearded white guy who works at Golf Shop is very rude.

Ended up enjoying our stay more than I'd anticipated. Was in a quiet part of the park, away from crowds, but we didn't have to deal with the gate lines every morning...so worth it! I was nervous about no in-room bathroom, it ended up being fine. There are restroom and shower facilities (separate, but close together). Both were very clean and private. The provided robes were great for bathing/restroom runs. They state no AC, but the windows do open for the cooler evening air and there was a fan in our room. Restaurant was nice, menu limited.
