This place is the closest lodging to the Yosemite gate. The rooms were quite large and well equipped with full kitchens. Great view of river on patio of room. No internet service of any kind (wired or wifi) and no cell service either, so prepare to be off the grid. Desk staff seemed to have no concept of customer service.... More

Typical of an old Motel 8 or similar. Adequate, but nothing special, except for the location. Bed was old and uncomfortable. Indoor swimming pool was closed by the health department. Kitchenette was handy. Desk could use some hospitality training.

As part of our honeymoon, we stayed three nights at the Yosemite View Lodge whilst visiting the National Park. As we were on honeymoon, we were given a room with a mountain and river view with balcony and hot tub. The room was spacious and comfortable and also had a kitchenette and working open fire. Our bathroom was also large... More

They claim to have internet; the internet "might work" for $9 an hour, in the lobby, but front desk clerk said it will probably not work. Your cell phone won't work either, unless you have verizon. ATT does NOT work until you get well within the park. The jacuzzi hot tubs do not work. Everything feels like 1975, including the... More

This is a wonderful place to stay if you are visiting Yosemite. It is situated about two miles from the western entrance. We had a room with a balcony looking out on the Merced river. At this point, the river is a fast-rushing current, quite spectacular. You can fall asleep to the roar of the water. The rooms are excellent,... More

Room for two but not enough crockery for two. Dead bug in bathroom when we arrived, great river view but 10 minute drive from park - though we would be able to walk. Scary glass case of dolls in reception dressed in clothes

If you want an awesome view of the Merced River, this place rocks. However you will be sacrificing a fresh clean room and linens in this place. The bathroom smelled like mold and when I turned on the jacuzzi hot tub I got exactly what I expected - dirty, unmaintained jets that expelled a nasty ring around the bathtub. I'm... More

For $219 (plus $24.09 in taxes and fees) I would expect more. Certainly, you are paying for location. The room had a river view - true. It did not have a real fireplace but an artificial one. It did have a kitchenette but with stained and dirty carpeting. Chair cushions were obviously replaced and not matching. We were told the... More

Chose this hotel as it was close to park entrance and good price. The location is right beside a river. Scenery is just amazing, although when you first arrive the hotel is more of a motel to look at and not that attractive if I am very honest. This isn't a plush hotel, more a comfy stay, reasonable prices with... More
