Coulterville 4 Stars Hotels

"The front desk staff is extremely unfriendly and are not interested in helping with anything at all. We had 2 separate reservations for 2 nights ( back to back) under the same name - had to check out and check back in as they said that they are fully booked and can not accommodate keeping the same room for 2 nights. It was extremely painful to take all the luggage to the front desk to keep it until we come back from Yosemite, but more surprisingly, when we checked back in - it was the same villa building just a different room ( with the same arrangement/ layout as we had during the previous night). On the day of the departure, we asked to extend check out time by 30 minutes which hotels around the US as well as the world are easily accommodating, but again, we were told that they are fully booked and can not help us with a up to a 30 mins extension ( even 15 was not an option). However, even at 8 pm of the same day they have a lot of rooms available for booking online ( I guess it was not really the case that they are fully booked). Overall property is nice and traveling with a family is easy when you have 2 bedroom villas, but the staff ( especially front desk) really needs some training. If you are planning to use the spa or/and get some treatment - advance booking is recommended. "

"The hotel was beautiful , the rooms were just as comfortable and nicely designed . We loved the large windows in the casino . "

"The Ahwahnee hotel is conveniently located in Yosemite Valley and within walking distance to a couple of trails, as well as the Merced River. There is a bus stop at the hotel where you can catch a free shuttle to other areas of Yosemite Valley, which is perfect if you’re traveling during peak season and don’t want to deal with parking in other areas of the park. The common sitting areas are very comfortable with amble seating and huge fireplaces that you can sit in and warm up after a long day of hiking in cold weather. The views of Half Dome are fantastic and that alone makes the hotel worth it. My only complaints about The Ahwahnee Hotel would be regarding the elevator and dining options. Only one elevator was working at the time of my visit and it kept getting stuck frequently, rendering it useless. I had to resort to using the stairs and being on the 3rd floor, this became a problem. Especially on check-out and check-in. I had to bring all my suitcases, along with my families, up and down the stairs, which was exhausting. Although, they did have someone tending to one elevator, as I mentioned, it kept getting stuck and was useless most of the time. In cases where it wasn’t stuck, there would be long wait times for the elevator service, which further delayed any planned trip for the day. At that point it was more convenient to walk up or down the stairs. Dining options at the restaurant or the bar are mediocre. The menu doesn’t have much to offer."

"Clean room and staff. Good location and nice views "
