Michael McEvoy traveled to Yosemite National Park for the long-awaited Bracebridge Dinner but faced unexpected challenges due to a recent storm that cut power to the Ahwahnee Hotel. As a result, McEvoy encountered an array of difficulties, including a dark hotel and malfunctioning facilities. This incident shed light on deeper issues highlighted in a recent National Park Service report, which criticized Yosemite Hospitality for failing to meet operational standards over many years, citing serious public health concerns and lapses in maintenance that call the company’s management into question.
"The whole place was dark," McEvoy said, noting that the computers at the front desk did not have power and the elevators didn't work. When McEvoy got to his room, he flicked the light switches - the room stayed dark. "I don't know how you put on a tux without light," he said.
A storm caused a tree to fall, cutting power across Yosemite Valley, which contributed to a larger narrative of systematic problems at the Ahwahnee and Yosemite.
A recent report by the National Park Service highlighted failures by Yosemite Hospitality, including rodent activity and health-related issues, questioning the management's effectiveness.
Yosemite Hospitality’s contract began in 2016, yet consistent issues like improper food storage and maintenance failures raise serious questions about their service priorities.
