Always a pleasure staying here. Spacious clean rooms, love the fireplace and river view, love all the different pools, hot tubs and activities to do on the property as well. Staff friendly, kind and very responsive even to the weirdest request for an iron and iron board. The location is also perfect. Highly recommend this is my second time here. This time I brought lots of family with me and they were very happy with the stay and are already missing waking up to the sound and view of the river.

Everything was decent except the smell of the room. It was musty. Perhaps a carpet cleaning but other than that i loved the location and river view.

Best Hotel location to Yosemite Entrance!
We've travelled to yosemite at leaset twice a year and spend 3 to 4 days there everytime, and the only hotel we trust and love is Yosemite View Lodge. 10 minute drive to yosemite entrance. Staff is always friendly and rooms are always clean! What we do enjoy now is their FREE wifi!! They use to charge $10 for every 24hrs, and for two devices which was the only negative in my opinion. River view rooms are a must if you choose to stay here. You will not regret it!!

Loved This Hotel!
We had a great stay! Loved the balcony overlooking the river and the hot tub in the room! We also loved the fireplace in the room and the beds were comfy and soft. Although we came in the winter we appreciate that they were many pools including an indoor pool that was heated. They also have a gym on site. It is only 4 mi from the entrance to Yosemite! We would definitely stay here again

Perfect for a large family!
I can’t even tell you how perfect this resort was for our family’s Yosemite trip!! It was close to the park, comfortable, and there was so much to do. We enjoyed the food at the restaurant, and absolutely loved the jacuzzis and family game room. We will never stay anywhere else when we go to Yosemite!! Room 1103 was nothing short of perfect!

Excellent location and cooking facilities
The lodge offers a great location -- in a valley two miles before the entrance to the park -- and excellent cooking facilities (electric hobs and well-equipped kitchen). The aircon / heating works well, too. There is a convenience store on site.
