Yosemite View Lodge

Yosemite View Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel and I really like it here. I love the view from the balcony overlooking the river. Very convenient to the park entrance. The only issue is no internet connection if you don’t like using the hotel wifi."

"The staff were wonderful. They were friendly, helpful and very personable. We enjoyed the variety of activities and felt like we could really play and relax. My only negative comments are that the mattress was a little old and the window shades were really quite dirty and a new adjustment pole was needed. Aside from that I appreciate it. They all cotton linens. It was a cozy place to stay and we enjoyed it."

8/10 Good
"Location was excellent first and foremost. This was pretty much the reason we stayed here. Only 30-40 minutes from the main part of Yosemite. Very useful if you need to be close to the park! The rooms were good, as expected really. Nothing worth mentioning. AC unit was loud and would shut off intermittently though. The fridge didn’t work sadly - only the freezer section worked. I let the front desk know and the maintenance guy just said it was broken. No alternative was offered, which meant $20 worth of stuff either froze or went off, which was a shame really."
