For location, the Tenaya is a great spot. Although it is located outside the south entrance to the park, it is not outside the park by much. It was a tad pricey, but it had a great atmosphere, in addition to the location. The grand lobby reinforces that you are in a spcial place. The towering Christmas tree offers not only a sign of the season, but a sign of the great outdoors you are about to enter. The comfortable lobby couches and games add to the homey feel.One family asked us to take their photo with the tree in the background. I hope they use it as next year's Christmas card! The rooms are great. And after a long day in the cold outdoors, they offered exactly what was necessary - a warm bed and a hot shower! The Lodge also has a pool and a gym that can be put to good use. We had dinner in the casual Jackalopes, which was great. Enjoy your stay!
