This location CAN'T be beat. We basically walked across the street to Camp 4 for a Yosemite Falls hike, and then had easy access to the 1.5 mile walk to the El Capitan picnic area to view the firefalls.
The food from the lounge was delicious and the service was incredible. The food from Basecamp Eatery was just okay. Kind of overpriced cafeteria food. Except for the pizza, the "personal pizza" was enough to share and tasted pretty good—especially after a 6.4 mile hike.
We stayed in a king room on the end in the Alder building. The location right across from the lobby was great, no view other than trees outside our window. Even though I know our building was full, we never heard a peep from anyone else through the walls during our stay. The bed was too soft for my personal preference, but my husband thought it was fine. I felt like the room looked nicer in the pictures, but maybe some rooms have been updated and ours wasn’t? It was fine, just pretty worn with some cobwebs here and there.
All in all, we would stay here again.
