Yosemite vally Grocery store

They valley has a surprisingly large and fully stocked grocery store. It's maybe 1/6 the size of a regular grocery, but has at least one of just about everything you could want, from meat, to veggies, to dry goods. The prices are higher than in the Fresno area, but not hugely so - maybe by 25%? In any case, you can't beat the location, and the selection is sufficient to make just about any American dish you want.

Yosemite Lodge (at the Falls)

You can't beat the location. Lots of great hikes just outside your room's door.

The rooms are mid-sized; there is just enough room to walk around the beds, but no more. You wouldn't want to sleep more than 2 people to a room.  The rooms are clean and the beds nice and firm. There is no coffeemaker in the room, but you can get a free ticket for a complementary coffee in the food Court (1/day/person). The rooms do not come with fridges, but they can be requested. The fridges are about as small as a mini-fridge can get, and could hold about 3 2-liter soft-drink containers.

They advertise free Internet, but only people near the main lodge can access it from their rooms - the wireless doesn't reach far enough. To log into the wireless you call the front desk and get a 6 letter code that you enter into your web browser. I had to retry this process several times before it worked, but from thereon my machine was recognised immediately whenever I turned it on.Once I did get logged in, however, the speed was fine - certainly higher than dialup, but a little slower than typical DSL. Your other option is to pay 25 cents a minute to use an Internet terminal in the main lodge.

One gotcha: my room only had 2-prong outlets, so I couldn't plug my laptop in. A call to the front desk located a power strip that would do the conversion.
