“The Ahwahnee holds a distinguished place in Yosemite Village, despite some inconsistencies; its historic architecture and prime location near Yosemite Falls and Half Dome are undeniable draws. I find the dining experience uneven, especially given the buffet-only format and pricing, yet the dining room's design remains impressive. It's a unique stay, though managing expectations is key.”
