Top Happy Isles Nature Center Hotel Reviews

Tenaya at Yosemite

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay!"

Curry Village

10/10 Excellent

"The tent was pretty clean, the things (light, heater) worked just fine. There were towels for showers, small cubbies next to the bed to keep your personal stuff. Overall it was pretty good. The restrooms were clean and there are like 8 shower stalls. Great experience. The staff was very helpful in accommodating the request for the tent being close to the restroom, because my mom and dad who are both >80 years were traveling with me. It was very convenient for them."

Indian Flat RV Park - Tent Cabins & Cottages

8/10 Good

"We are on a cross country road trip and saw this RV park with a “heated cabin” just outside Yosemite. Sounded charming. It is primarily an RV/Safari tent venue. Our cabin was roomy and well stocked, but it was also drafty and quite cool …even with a heater. Wi-Fi worked for tablets and phones, but not computers. Not a big deal for just one night. We would have been more comfortable in the lodge next door….if we had known."

Yosemite Valley Lodge

8/10 Good

"It was nice staying IN the park. Keeping in mind that’s a national park and not a luxury resort I expected less in that respect. The room had cobwebs which is okay but the bathroom smelled of urine, not okay. The shower curtain was about 6-8 inches too long and had a terrible odor to it. The front desk staff just seemed tired and worn out. Not as helpful as they could’ve been. The sports bar/lounge was nice with friendly wait staff. But the beauty of being in such an amazing place seemed to outweigh all the negative. Definitely worth staying there but you need to plan WAY in advance for reservations. I made ours 5 months ago and was told at that time that it was the last available."
