Fodor's Expert Review Yosemite Valley Lodge

This 1915 lodge near Yosemite Falls is a collection of numerous two-story, glass-and-wood structures tucked beneath the trees. Motel-style rooms have two double beds; larger rooms also have dressing areas and patios or balconies. A few have views of the falls. Of the lodge's eateries, the Mountain Room Restaurant is the most formal. The casual Base Camp Eatery serves three meals a day. Many park tours depart from the main building.
