| | Iconic Yosemite hotel's rodent infestation detailed in scathing report
Jun 3, 2025
'S—t is hitting the fan': Disaster unfolding at Yosemite's most iconic hotel
SFGATE
A scathing report details rodent infestation at Yosemite National Park's iconic Ahwahnee Hotel.

Gusty winds and sheets of rain weren’t enough to deter Michael McEvoy from driving from his home in the Bay Area to Yosemite National Park on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024. He had two tickets to an event he’d waited years to attend: the Bracebridge Dinner. After a five-year hiatus, the historic holiday feast and performance was making its highly anticipated return to the Ahwahnee Dining Room. McEvoy packed his tuxedo. Preparations for the dinner, however, were not going as planned. Earlier that day, a tree fell during the storm and cut the power across Yosemite Valley. When McEvoy and his date checked into the Ahwahnee, the hotel didn’t have electricity.  “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.  The stormy night in the old hotel was just getting started. That December evening, the power outage and a cascade of resulting failures became a microcosm of larger problems at the Ahwahnee and throughout Yosemite that have since been documented in a scathing report recently released by the National Park Service. Obtained Friday in a Freedom of Information Act request by SFGATE, the report is a 2024 annual performance review of Yosemite Hospitality, a subsidiary of Aramark Corporation. The company has a 17-year contract that began in 2016 to operate and maintain the hotels, restaurants, gift shops and other attractions at Yosemite. For years, however, the company has been failing to meet the expectations of the National Park Service.  Rodent activity, improper food storage, lapses in facility maintenance and other public health concerns are among the pervasive issues called out in the report. The park service also dings Yosemite Hospitality for failing to conduct inspections. Yosemite Hospitality received an overall “unsatisfactory” rating. That’s the lowest possible rating and a downgrade from previous years; in 2023, 2022, 2019 and 2018, Yosemite Hospitality received a “marginal” rating in its annual review. An “unsatisfactory” rating is also grounds to terminate Yosemite Hospitality’s contract. At Crater Lake National Park, another Aramark subsidiary received an “unsatisfactory” rating in 2023. The park service terminated that contract last year and brought on a new concessionaire. But at Yosemite, the park service indicated in the report that it intends to continue working with Yosemite Hospitality. “We work closely with our concessionaires to identify and address issues, and we expect them to take prompt action to resolve any problems,” a park spokesperson wrote in an email to SFGATE.  SFGATE reached out to Aramark with questions about the performance review and the Bracebridge Dinner. In response, Aramark’s senior vice president of corporate affairs, Debbie Albert, sent the following statement: “We take this rating seriously, and in working closely with the NPS, we have and continue to make improvements at Yosemite to ensure high standards are met for park guests.”  On Dec. 14, the power outage put the Yosemite Hospitality’s shortcomings on center stage at the Bracebridge Dinner, in the middle of the show’s multiple-night run. A downed electrical tower cut off power to Yosemite and El Portal and impacted Yosemite Hospitality’s operations, said Sheena Weinstein, spokesperson for Aramark, in an emailed statement to SFGATE sent in December.  The 2024 performance review noted Yosemite Hospitality’s “enhanced and proactive collaboration” during power outages and parkwide emergencies. It also commended Yosemite Hospitality for the return of the Bracebridge Dinner, which involved multiple performances over two weeks in December, with just one show canceled due to the power outage. “Visitor comments were largely positive, and attendees were pleased that a much-loved tradition resumed,” the annual report states. But according to McEvoy, on the night of the power outage, service was dismal. He said a backup generator powered a temporary kitchen but not the Ahwahnee, which had no electricity. He saw multiple people stumbling and falling down in the dark, he said, and with the elevator not powered, he encountered an older woman struggling to navigate flights of stairs without light. People waited for hours before the hotel announced the performance would be canceled, McEvoy said. Employees said the night the power went out was demoralizing, another low point in the Ahwahnee’s decline over recent years. “The power outage itself, that was a natural cause. But it exposed, certainly, the weaknesses, the lack of a contingency plan in case anything like this happened,” an Ahwahnee employee said under the condition of anonymity, which SFGATE granted employees and former employees for this article in accordance with Hearst’s ethics policy.  In a message sent to SFGATE at nearly 2 a.m. on the night the power went out, another employee put it like this: “S—t is hitting the fan.” The decline of an American crown jewel  From the day it opened in 1927, the Ahwahnee was destined to become an iconic historical landmark. Stephen Mather, the first director of the National Park Service, envisioned a “grand, rustic lodge” that could match its natural setting and inspire tourism to the national parks. Designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood, an architect who’d built lodges in Zion and Bryce National Parks, and another on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, the Ahwahnee has been called Underwood’s greatest achievement.  Tucked under the Royal Arches, a giant cliff with rainbow-shaped features at the far end of Yosemite Valley, the Ahwahnee is a reflection of its natural setting in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. In 1977, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Ten years later, it was designated a National Historic Landmark. President John F. Kennedy and the Obamas stayed there. So did Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip. The Ahwahnee is Yosemite’s landmark luxury hotel, yet in 2020 — almost a century after it was built, four years after Aramark’s subsidiary took over — AAA downgraded the hotel's rating, from four diamonds to three. In 2024, more than 2,400 guest surveys reported 65% overall customer satisfaction. In the past six months, the Donald Trump administration has embarked on a campaign to cut spending and downsize federal agencies, including the park service, pushing out an untold number of employees and putting the future of Yosemite in peril. The administration’s actions are transforming an agency that has safeguarded and managed public lands for more than a century.  Yet, subsidiaries of private companies like Aramark already manage the day-to-day operations of many concessions on public lands — campgrounds, markets and historic hotels like the Ahwahnee. Last month, House Republicans nearly sold off some 500,000 acres of public land in Nevada and Utah before the sale was removed at the last moment from the Reconciliation Bill, in large part due to a wide and resounding public outcry. The Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank, suspects the Trump administration wants to privatize public lands. The evaluations of Yosemite Hospitality — and what went down Dec. 14 at the Bracebridge Dinner — offer a glimpse of what privatizing public lands might actually look like. In 2023, when Yosemite Hospitality received a “marginal” rating, the performance review cited the concessionaire for a number of issues. It did not fill a safety and health official position for almost a year. Staff did not receive training for how to manage hantavirus. The review documented problems with food safety due to wildlife and food storage issues, as well as  “overflowing trash cans.” At the Ahwahnee, water leaks sprang from the ceiling of a hotel room, and in the Solarium, while visitors were dining, a chunk of ceiling fell and hit an employee. Yosemite Hospitality has since repaired the ceiling in the Solarium and a mold issue in one of the hotel rooms, the 2023 review documents.

The list of problems documented in the 2024 annual performance review is lengthy. Five food establishments received “marginal” ratings: Degnan’s Kitchen, May Lake High Sierra Camp, Curry Village Bar 1899, the Wawona Hotel and Base Camp Eatery. The park service’s Office of Public Health also recommended that Yosemite Hospitality shut down food service facilities on five occasions, after receiving multiple complaints, including about rodent activity. Rodent infestations have been an ongoing nuisance throughout the park, with issues documented in both the 2023 and 2024 reviews. “Integrated pest management, rodent trapping, rodent exclusion, and employee hantavirus risk reduction training must remain a focus to protect the health of employees and the public,” the 2024 report states. At the Ahwahnee, public health officials documented food safety issues and rodent infestations in the bar and kitchen. Employees reported food contamination issues from rodents at the end of May in the kitchen ceiling above food preparation areas, the report cites. Rodents were also seen in the Ahwahnee Bar, which health inspectors shut down multiple times last year, starting in June after several employees got sick from chemicals that were used to clean up after the rodents.   The bar reopened on June 14, but about six weeks later, at the end of July, health officials flagged a Food and Drug Administration violation due to a leak in the kitchen in the Ahwahnee Bar, and Yosemite Hospitality shut the kitchen for part of the day to fix the leak.  On Sept. 4, 2024, the Ahwahnee Bar closed yet again after a video showed “ongoing rodent activity within the facility,” the report documents. The bar reopened Sept. 20 for drink service only and didn’t start serving food again until Nov. 14.  A deadly public health hazard Hantavirus is a serious illness spread through contact with rodents, especially when humans are exposed to droppings, urine or saliva, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2012, before Yosemite Hospitality took over the contract to run concessions at the park, an outbreak infected at least 10 people and killed three. Officials found rodent nests and tunnels in the foam insulation within the walls of the cabins, which were demolished. A Bloomberg investigation published last year documented a store worker who likely contracted hantavirus and lived in on-site employee housing. This winter, about 40 miles away from the east entrance to Yosemite National Park, hantavirus killed three people in Mammoth Lakes. The illness also killed actor Gene Hackman’s wife, Betsy Arakawa, in their New Mexico home earlier this year, the Associated Press reported. According to the 2024 report, Yosemite Hospitality developed a hantavirus risk reduction program but was inconsistent in training employees. At the Crane Flat Store, multiple employees didn’t receive hantavirus risk reduction training until health officials visited the store for a routine safety inspection and identified the oversight. At the Wawona Hotel, which closed last year indefinitely for repairs, employees were told to “remove dead rodents and roaches” without training or personal protective equipment, the report states, adding that “employees were exposed to various health hazards.” In response to rodent infestations, Yosemite Hospitality changed pest management companies and doubled the number of weekly visits to inspect properties in the park, according to the annual report. The transition to the new company and increase in service was fully implemented in October 2024. Lagging maintenance and loose wires When the power went out Dec. 14, Yosemite Hospitality canceled the Bracebridge Dinner because the Ahwahnee did not have electricity. Yosemite Hospitality did not respond to questions about the Ahwahnee’s generator on the night of the power outage. However, the 2024 report flags electrical issues throughout the park, such as loose electric wires on a thermostat in a hotel room and an employee tent that caught fire. The report also criticizes Yosemite Hospitality for not completing inspections of generators or fuel stations. When health officials followed up with their own inspections, they found broken porches with loose boards and rusty nails at the Yosemite Valley Lodge, frayed carpet in the Ahwahnee Hotel and mushrooms growing behind the ice machine in the employee break room at the Wawona Hotel.  The Ahwahnee is currently in the midst of a $31.6 million “major seismic upgrade” — financed by federal dollars from the Great American Outdoors Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation passed in 2020 to improve infrastructure on public lands. The project, scheduled to be completed this summer, is overhauling the hotel’s structural integrity, replacing the bracing on chimneys and support walls, as well as windows and window frames in the dining room and Solarium. The kitchen is also being rebuilt, as part of the same project. In the meantime, a temporary kitchen outside the hotel, accessed through makeshift tunnels, services the Ahwahnee’s dining room. Working the Bracebridge Dinner is physically taxing to begin with, one employee said. The temporary kitchen and the power outage made the work even more strenuous: One server described walking long laps between the temporary kitchen and the dining room, carrying heavy trays loaded with plates through cramped spaces lit with battery-powered lanterns. A dark evening is cut short The Bracebridge Dinner is a hallmark event for the Ahwahnee, a legacy of the famed photographer Ansel Adams. On a typical night, the Ahwahnee Dining Room is transformed into a stage with a giant red carpet rolled down the center. Food service is cued with a Tudor-style performance: Someone backstage says “trays up,” and servers walk down the procession with trays on their shoulders, full of plates of steaming hot food. There are seven courses: relish, salad, soup, fish, duck, beef and, for dessert, plum pudding. A smaller-than-planned dinner was served by candlelight, according to Aramark spokesperson Weinstein. The Bracebridge Dinner is meant to be a full performance — with actors, costumes, musicians and choral singers. But that night, all the fanfare was reduced to a Steinway piano that was pushed into the Ahwahnee Dining Room to accompany a handful of cast members as they sang a few songs. The hotel was cold and drafty, and some guests wore furs or shawls while they were eating, employees said. The dining room was illuminated by battery-powered lanterns and string lights, according to Weinstein and hotel employees. Still, serving dinner in the faint light was harrowing. At one point, one of the servers tripped on someone’s chair while they were carrying a tray full of food. Thankfully, they saved their fall. When asked about guest complaints, including people falling in the dark and the power outage in hotel rooms, Weinstein said, “We promptly mobilized all available resources to provide backup power and minimize the impact on our guests as a result of the downed tower.” “First and foremost, the safety of our guests and staff is always our top priority in any event of this nature,” Weinstein said.  McEvoy paid $1,100 for the two tickets to the Bracebridge Dinner, plus another $700 for a room at the Ahwahnee, he said. But the darkness, the cold and the bad service were enough for him to leave and book a room somewhere else.  “We’re looking forward to seeing it, and then to find all of the catastrophic, the cascade failures that occurred really pointed out to me that they’ve got a problem,” McEvoy said. By morning, the power was restored and the cast performed the show to anyone who was still there. They served only water, employees said. Yosemite Hospitality refunded tickets and hotel stays for impacted guests, Weinstein said. McEvoy has been in touch with upper management at Aramark and believes that changes are being made in the company. He’s hopeful that the current disaster unfolding at Yosemite National Park will be remedied in the future. “They are now doing the right thing. I will compliment them on that,” McEvoy said. “They are refunding everybody the room. It doesn’t make up for the fact that I had to go get another room. I drove 180 miles that day to get there.” Refunds aside, Yosemite Hospitality employees remain concerned for their safety and that of the visitors. “At what point do you say, ‘This isn’t right for the guests’? Someone could get sick. This isn’t right,” one employee said. “There has to be a limit where profit doesn’t matter. Humanity matters more.” National parks bureau chief Ashley Harrell contributed to this story.  — Rare Yosemite ski area to remain closed this winter due to lack of snow— Historic Yosemite hotel closes indefinitely for repair— Tragic death raises troubling questions about safety on Half Dome— Yosemite National Park blasts tourists for gross behavior We love national parks just as much as you do, so we have a newsletter that covers them from top to bottom.

| | New book paints Jill Biden as chief 'denier' of president's 'deterioration' | Fox News
Jun 2, 2025
Inside Jill Biden's political rise amid her husband's cognitive decline: Book
Fox News
Former first lady Jill Biden emerged as a powerful political partner in former President Joe Biden's presidency, as revealed in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's book "Original Sin," detailing her influence and role.

Former President Joe Biden's inner circle considers first lady Jill Biden one of the most powerful first ladies in history, CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios political correspondent Alex Thompson reveal in their new book, "Original Sin." Jill Biden, who has a doctoral degree in education and whom White House staffers called "Dr. B" for short, was a reluctant political spouse in the early days of her husband's career. During his presidential campaigns and into his presidency, the first lady became his staunchest defender and a "political partner in addition to a spouse," Thompson and Tapper wrote.  "Dr. B was a strong, protective force in the White House. She was also, without question, one of the chief supporters of the president's decision to run for reelection, and one of the chief deniers of his deterioration," the authors wrote.  President Donald Trump's White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday that Jill Biden should have to answer for her complicity in the "cover-up" of Biden's cognitive decline.  JILL BIDEN SHOULD HAVE TO ANSWER FOR 'COVER-UP' OF FORMER PRESIDENT'S DECLINE, WHITE HOUSE SAYS Leavitt pointed to how Jill Biden jumped in to defend her husband during their joint interview on "The View" this month as evidence the former first lady is still covering for her husband.  'INTENSELY LOYAL' JILL BIDEN AIDE DESPISED BY WHITE HOUSE STAFFERS, NEW BOOK CLAIMS As Biden's sister, Valerie "Val" Biden Owens, and his adult children, Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, stayed away from Biden's 2020 presidential campaign, Jill Biden took on a more prominent role, the book revealed.  "She weighed in on potential hires and reviewed many of the campaign ads before they were aired. She campaigned hard and peppered aides with questions about how many reporters would be at her events," Tapper and Thompson said.  Jill Biden sat for job interviews for White House aide candidates, and she "kept score" of which staffers were most loyal, with the help of her most trusted aide, Anthony Bernal, the book revealed.  The White House began referring to Jill Biden's "spousal programming" events on foreign trips, and her team would request talking points, which Tapper and Thompson said some national security officials found strange.  "[Bernal] had already begun planning the first lady's 2025 international travel schedule," Tapper and Thompson said. The first lady made an off-hand comment to French President Emmanuel Macron at a state dinner in 2022 about the difficult nature of campaigns and how she needed to stay in shape. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra, overheard and found it odd, according to "Original Sin." "Alexandra then turned to the president and asked if they should toast to another campaign. He looked back at her like he didn't understand. Alexandra thought her mom looked shocked. Everyone quickly gathered themselves. With Macron, they toasted to four more years," the authors said.  Dr. B was particularly sensitive when asked about Biden's age and ability, according to the authors.  After Biden's consequential debate performance in the summer of 2024, The Associated Press reported that Jill and Hunter Biden were urging the president to continue his re-election campaign. Sources told AP the family "questioned how he was prepared for the debate by staff and wondered if they could have done something better." "Hunter privately talked about it as being the family against the world. People sensed a more manic quality in him post-debate. He was determined to save his dad," according to Tapper and Thompson.  Soon after the debate, Jill Biden joined Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., on the campaign trail. After defending the president's re-election campaign to reporters, Stabenow brought up some of her colleagues' concerns about Biden continuing in the race.  JILL BIDEN ACCUSED OF 'ELDER ABUSE' BY WASHINGTON POST COLUMNIST FOR PUSHING HUSBAND TO SEEK RE-ELECTION "The First Lady didn't answer the senator's implied question, but she later fumed about it to White House staffers," the book alleged.  A week later, Gov. Josh Shapiro, from the pivotal battleground state of Pennsylvania, told the president, "I have some concerns." However, before Biden could fully respond, the first lady was ushering him away.  "Jill fumed with resentment about all the Democrats who she considered friends now pushing Biden out. She knew she had blundered in the aftermath of the debate with her belittling praise. She was only trying to help her husband in his moment of need. In the end, she told Biden: ‘This is your decision. This is for you to decide,’" according to the book.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Fox News Digital has written extensively dating back to the 2020 presidential campaign about Biden's cognitive decline and his inner circle’s alleged role in covering it up. A Biden spokesperson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Fetterman breaks ranks, praises Trump's Middle East policies: 'Did the right thing'
Fox News
Sen. John Fetterman praises President Donald Trump's Middle East policies, highlighting bipartisan support for Israel and the controversial U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem.

Sen. John Fetterman, the battleground state Democrat known for bucking his party, praised President Donald Trump's policies in the Middle East on Monday.  During The Senate Project series discussion, organized by the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate and the Orrin G. Hatch Foundation and co-hosted by FOX Nation, Fetterman and his fellow Pennsylvanian Sen. Dave McCormick, a Republican, discussed key issues impacting Americans.  Conflict in the Middle East was chief among those topics, as the bipartisan senators have found unlikely common ground in their support for Israel. Fetterman admitted he is the sole Democrat willing to admit Trump's success in the Middle East.  "I wasn't really allowed to disagree, politically, with the original agreement on Iran," Fetterman said. KNIVES OUT FOR FETTERMAN: MAVERICK SENATOR JOINS LONG LINE OF DEMS PUNISHED FOR BREAKING FROM LEFT Trump ended U.S. participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran and re-imposed sanctions against them in 2018. As a Democrat, Fetterman said it was politically unpopular to support Trump backing out of the Iran deal.  FETTERMAN CALLS FOR BOMBING IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIES: 'WASTE THAT S---' Fetterman, now abandoning the Democratic playbook, admitted on Monday, "I really do think, now, Trump did the right thing to break that agreement." Fetterman told The Washington Free Beacon in April that the Trump administration should destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities with a military strike. The event's moderator, Fox News' Shannon Bream, anchor of "Fox News Sunday," asked Fetterman about his comments during the Boston, Massachusetts, event on Monday.  "Iran attacked Israel, and it's very clear they lack the capabilities to really project that kind of––and then Israel struck back and destroyed the batteries that protect their nuclear facilities, and they also hit the nuclear lab as well, too. So now, Israel understands that we have a window here to attack that." The Pennsylvania Democrat said his party isn't willing to engage in these nuanced conversations about the United States' approach to conflict in the Middle East.  "I think it's once in a generation to destroy that facility," Fetterman said, doubling down on his comments.  Fetterman also praised Trump for moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem during his first administration.  "That's absolutely put me really the only one left in the Democratic caucus talking on these kinds of things," Fetterman said, referring to his support for moving the embassy.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP "When Trump changed the embassy to Jerusalem, people thought… the region was going to burn. I mean, none of that happened… Some good things have happened there," Fetterman said. Fetterman was the only Democratic senator willing to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago ahead of his inauguration and has been steadfast in his support for Israel, one of several instances of Fetterman bucking his own party.
