Yosemite Hotels

The selection of Yosemite Hotels is somewhat limited, with only four lodges inside the park. If they are full, you'll have to try to hotel in one of the surrounding towns.

The most common complaint about Yosemite hotels is they aren't worth the cost. Have the right expectations: you'll pay more here or in the surrounding communities than for a comparable hotel elsewhere.

Nightly rates vary by season. Our rate key: $$$$ = over $200, $$$ = $150 to $200, $$ = $100 to $150, $ less than $100.
