DavidFisk, will check the lodge you mentioned. Thanks!

John: Thanks for your information!

Vaughn, a nice photo! From the picture, the tent cabins look great, but not heated. I am worried it will be too cold in night.If Tioga road is closed, can I hike to Glacier point?

Drew, Thanks! we plan to make hotel reservations in El Portal, which is the best option, although we want to stay inside the park.

AnalogAngler: Thanks for your information. I am worried about Tioga road opening. If it does not open we will miss some good places. It will be our first time to go to Yosemite and hope we can go...

We plan to go to Yosemite NP in May. It seems all hotel rooms inside park have been fully booked, no room available besides tent cabins.
