点评:Well, I know it's a tad unreasonable to have high expectations for a National Park hotel, so this is a hard review to write. So here is the woe and the wow of our two day stay at the Wawona hotel.
WOE
We arrived at the Wawona Hotel around 3:00, and were told that our room wasn't ready and that it might not be ready until 5:00 pm. Hmm. Okay. Never been told that I'd have a check in that late before. So we waited on the porch because we were exhausted from a day at Yosemite Village. So we waited on the porch. While we were waiting, an employee of the hotel was starting a historical tour of the hotel grounds.
WOW
Juliana gave us a great tour of the history of the hotel. The history of the brothers who built the hotel and how it has transformed through the century and a half since is worth the 45 minutes and none of it was boring. Nice job, Juliana.
WOE
Dinner service on a Saturday night was disorganized, expensive and staff seemed tired and overworked. The beds in our room were so high my husband had to pull me up onto the bed. Not a problem, of course, unless you're fighting (or, if you're alone and short, and there is no one to pull you up). Room is expensive for what you get and the furnishings a bit dated.
WOW
You're in Yosemite, a World Heritage Site, and unless you're a finicky, comfort focused person like I am, you're not going to notice 1/2 the things I'm talking about.
TIP:
If you can visit during the week, staff at the hotels and the rangers I talked to agreed Yosemite Village is significantly less crowded during the week. It was really hard to enjoy the piece and quiet of this amazing place when there was no way to find a place to park.
翻译:嗯,我知道对国家公园酒店抱有很高的期望有点不合理,所以这是一篇很难写的评论。这就是我们在瓦沃纳酒店度过的两天的痛苦和惊喜。
祸害
我们于 3:00 左右抵达瓦沃纳酒店,并被告知我们的房间尚未准备好,可能要到下午 5:00 才能准备好。唔。好的。之前从未被告知我会这么晚办理入住。所以我们在门廊上等着,因为我们在优胜美地村玩了一天已经筋疲力尽了。于是我们就在门廊上等着。当我们等待时,酒店的一名员工正在开始酒店场地的历史之旅。
哇
朱莉安娜带我们参观了酒店的历史。建造这家酒店的兄弟的历史以及一个半世纪以来酒店的变迁值得花 45 分钟,而且一点也不无聊。干得好,朱莉安娜。
祸害
周六晚上的晚餐服务杂乱无章,价格昂贵,工作人员似乎疲惫不堪,劳累过度。我们房间的床太高了,我丈夫不得不把我拉到床上。当然,这不是问题,除非你在战斗(或者,如果你孤身一人且身材矮小,并且没有人拉你一把)。房间对于你所得到的来说很贵,而且家具有点过时。
哇
你身处世界遗产地优胜美地,除非你像我一样挑剔、注重舒适度,否则你不会注意到我所说的 1/2 的事情。
提示:
如果您可以在工作日期间前往,酒店的工作人员和我采访过的护林员都一致认为,优胜美地村在一周内的拥挤程度要低得多。当找不到停车的地方时,真的很难享受这个神奇地方的宁静和宁静。
