Tenaya Lodge

Stayed for my girlfriend's birthday celebration, everyone was really nice and helpful, close to yosemite, almost felt like we didnt need to leave the hotel with how much there was to do amenities wise, nice room, biggest tv I've seen in a hotel room at 50-60 inches, only complaint is the layout kind of sucks, we stayed on the third floor and the water re fill is in the lobby, and there is no clear cut way to get there with out taking a funky route, alot of steps, try and stay on the 1st and 2nd floors for easier foot traffic 😇

I wanted to give the Tenaya Lodge 5 stars but had a few things that are holding me back. The lodge itself is beautiful and had a bunch of fireplaces & firepits to huddle around, which my wife loved. The Jackalope Bar and Grill was really good; we ate dinner there and breakfast the next morning. We reserved a spa room specifically for a Jacuzzi tub and a balcony looking out into the woods for my wife to sip coffee and look out. The Jacuzzi tub was broken and wouldn't drain. The balcony decking and railing was rather unstable. My wife wouldn't even step out on it. Lastly the shower had wads of female hair stuck to the shower walls from the previous guest. It really is a lovely place and the staff at the front desk and grill were great. We just weren't happy with our stay because of the tub & balcony that we couldn't use.

very very close to the south gate of yosemite, so worth the price to stay here if u need to get into the park very early (like at sunrise) because they have a hot tub and pool (tho many many children) it is a good place to soak after a long walk

We love the hotel, it provided a lot of free activities to family, eg rock climbing, bike hire, guided nature walk, movie in the swimming pool etc. The gym and wellness centre are big with sauna and steam room. The hotel is an hour away from Yosemite village, but 20 ministers drive to Oakhurst with lots of good food options.

We loved its location just outside of Yosemite. We also enjoyed the free bicycle usage to explore nearby gravel roads through the forest. Drawbacks were that the food options were rather bland and the outdoor pool is rather small so no lap swimming. Also, the staff just didn't smile much giving a rather ho hum vibe.

The service could definitely use some training. From the start, the front desk was not pleasant but just did her job. The main issue was the manager in the bar area. After a shift change and after them cashing us out of our $1100 bill, they removed our big party stating that we didn’t have a reservation for the dinner service even though we continued to purchase items. She made no sense on why we had to move and was rather aggressive on asserting herself. Disappointing situation considering we had a block of 10 rooms and a large reception the next day.

As a consultant, I’ve been to my fair share of hotels. I was so incredibly impressed with Tenaya. You can tell this place takes great care of their employees and guests. They are so generous with time, resources, and snacks! (Free s’mores every night… yes please.) thanks for a wonderful stay!
