It appeared the Ahwahnee was once considered a grand hotel, but by modern standards, it's now only a run-of-the-mill 2 star hotel. more on Yahoo! Travel

The setting is gorgeous. more on Travelocity.com

Government, not a 5 star chain, and focus on the beauty of the hotel itself and its environs, you can completely overlook any the flaws. more on VirtualTourist

The Dining Room was beautiful, with its big views and candlelight. more on Yahoo! Travel

We love the Ahwahnee and particularly fond of their Dining Room. more on Travelocity.com
