Hotels near El Capitan

"We had a wonderful stay at Rush Creek Lodge, and I especially want to recognize Stephanie. She has a rare gift — she took genuine time with every person she interacted with, never rushing and never delaying, making each guest feel like the most important person in the room. Stephanie truly went above and beyond to take care of my family’s needs, anticipating things before we even asked and doing it all with warmth and grace. That level of care made our stay feel personal, relaxed, and memorable. Incredible hospitality, beautiful property, and exceptional staff. We can’t wait to return."

"Wonderful front desk service"

"First, reading the negative review, I was worried. OMG, when we arrived to check in the guest service workers, were so friendly, courteous and helpful. Our room was facing the mountain view, which was incredible. I had read reviews, so I knew to make reservations for mealtimes we wanted, which worked perfect. One of the hostess Nina was so positive seating us near a window where on the 1st morning there were deer in the meadow. Our waitress who we had the entire time was Caralien was so attentive made breakfast so enjoyable. The elevator operators so courteous, housekeeper cleaned are room every day. We went off season, so there is basically only one other place open for food, near the visitor center Degnan's kitchen delicious sandwiches and soup and the workers so accommodating. I recommend this hotel its history, location is a must. We were able to see everything and hike trails without leaving the park. When driving into the park it was snowing and there are no side railing or mile markers. We rented a AWD vehicle so we had no problem driving in the snow. Looking out our window at half dome, seeing waterfalls, watching deer. It was amazing. Landing in Fresno we took an hour detour to Sequoia National Park, since we couldn't check in our room till 4pm. Was so worth it, then we drove to Ahwahnee. Enjoyed breakfast the next day and went to Mirror Lake, checked out El captain, Bridal veil Falls went to Tunnel view a must. Then we went hiking Mariposa Falls, so hard."

"Great food on site, friendly staff. Need to drive to Yosemite park entrance "

"We loved our first gleaming experience. I took my husband for his birthday and he enjoyed every moment of it. The staff is friendly and helpful at all times. Every request or question was answered, which eased my nerves as it was my first time camping since I was a kid. The site is just really cool. 24 hour staff, activities(S’mores night was happening while there), happy hour. Just a fun place to stay for a night or two. I really enjoyed it. "

"Great staff very friendly "

"Beautiful room with classic furniture and a lovely balcony. The inn is/had obviously been loved by someone who put a lot of effort into details. We were welcomed with coffee and other comforts. The room was comfortable. The gift shop was cute. Only issue was the loud fan on the AC/heater, which woke me up a couple of times when it turned on through the night. "
