Book Foresta hotels

The room needs a lot of updates, thorn carpet, missing hook in bathroom, chipped bathtub and loose metal step before you get into the room which makes a lot of noise while disturbing other guests. We’ve stayed at Tenaya multiple times and just feel like it’s going down in quality. When we checked in the lady was a bit rude and that was our first impression of the resort. Not a great start. Food at the main dining is awful and the price is $25 per plate for a 2 star quality.

Good view. No elevator.

Very good place to stay.

You can't beat the location in Yosemite Valley. That's the only thing this establishment has going for it, though it is a huge plus in Yosemite. It's just very unfortunate that Aramark has done a lousy job in the upkeep of the Yosemite Valley Lodge. Our room looks the exact same as it did twenty plus years ago when we last stayed here. I have no doubt that the carpeting has not been changed in years...nor has the decor or fixtures. Once entering our room, the smell of urine wafted in the air. However, luckily, it was only strong in the carpeted vanity area next to the bathroom so it was tolerable during our two-night stay. The food at this lodge is so not good, to be perfectly blunt. We ate at the Mountain Room Lounge one evening. The food was pretty darn horrible and the prices high. The next evening we ate at the Base Camp Eatery (formerly the Food Court) and, though the hotdog I had was preferable to my meal at the Lounge, the place itself is basically equivalent to a school cafeteria. We regretted not getting sandwiches at Degnan's Kitchen in the Village earlier in the day and just keeping it in our room fridge until dinner time. It's a damn shame that the only hotels in Yosemite Valley are either for those with deep pockets who can afford The Ahwahnee or this tired establishment that's desperately in need of a complete revamp.

Great location for Yosemite sight seeing. Very nice sunset views from all over the property. Most amenities (specifically pool/spa) accessible 24x7! Villa rooms are spacious and comfortable for 4. Dinner menu was excellent (duck legs, wings, fried cauliflower, Cioppino, salmon, Caesar salad were all standouts). Breakfast though is pretty over priced, and nothing special. Spa was great after days of hiking. Hot waterfall tub was a unique standout. The negatives were several amenities (2nd hot tub, most of the game room games - pinball, bubble jockey) were broken/needed maintenance, and being in a ground floor villa there was a lot of noise from the room above, so ask for a second floor villa if available.

The property was pretty, but old. The room smelled a bit musty and the beds were well worn. The shower was very low on water pressure. Breakfast was good. Great space for breakfast, though the chairs are stained pretty bad.
