We loved staying at the YWL. It is conveniently located very close to the Big Oak Flat entrance. Our room was great, super-good amenities (wi-fi, USB charging), easy/fast check-in and check-out, great food at the Luck Buck Cafe next door (lots of vegetarian/vegan options !).. I would say it was part of the reason we had such a great trip to Yosemite !
