Top Sentinel Beach Picnic Area Hotel Reviews

Curry Village

10/10 Excellent

"Unique experience ,great place to stay and explore the park ."

Tenaya at Yosemite

10/10 Excellent

"L This place has a wonderfully rustic, cozy feel, and it's just 10 minutes from Mariposa Grove. The staff were genuinely helpful and welcomed us with s'mores, which was a lovely touch. We ate at Jackalope's and the food was very good. The rooms were clean and well maintained, and the gift shop is worth a browse too. We'd definitely stay here again!"

Yosemite View Lodge

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well located, 1/2 hour drive to Yosemite village, near the river, which is lovely, but for the price they charge, they should really have the service to go with it. We had a room with a kitchenette. The room was ok clean but no more than that. the stove was not working right, it was really hard to just warm up water, never mind cooking on it. The pots were really clean though. The bathroom was old, the tile around the tub had a lots of black spots, hopefully it wasn't black mold. They really need to do an upgrade. The tub was huge, with 2 shower heads, which in a hotel that tells you they needs to conserved water was over the top. The towels were also old, They have a great location, but they really need to work on updated for their rooms, and paying attention to details!"

Indian Flat RV Park - Tent Cabins & Cottages

8/10 Good

"Very eclectic little place to stay. The Expedia listed sq footage of 65 is inaccurate. It's actually 650 sq ft. Indian Flats is actually part of the adjacent lodging facility so you have access to an outdoor and indoor pool. The adjacent facility has a great restaurant also (limited hours). Cute little feature was a towel creature like in a cruise ship cabin. Kitchen area very clean. The "Cozy Cabin" has parking right next to the lodging. There is a fire bar-b-que and seating behind plus a little sitting table on the front porch. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful. Later that evening I had a question and she immediately sent someone to help me. I felt very safe. The facility, though old, was clean and in fine repair. Only thing it really is in need of are the Venetian blinds to be replaced. They have definitely seen better days. Overall, great experience."

Yosemite Valley Lodge

8/10 Good

"It was nice staying IN the park. Keeping in mind that’s a national park and not a luxury resort I expected less in that respect. The room had cobwebs which is okay but the bathroom smelled of urine, not okay. The shower curtain was about 6-8 inches too long and had a terrible odor to it. The front desk staff just seemed tired and worn out. Not as helpful as they could’ve been. The sports bar/lounge was nice with friendly wait staff. But the beauty of being in such an amazing place seemed to outweigh all the negative. Definitely worth staying there but you need to plan WAY in advance for reservations. I made ours 5 months ago and was told at that time that it was the last available."
