The wife and I were hoping to score a drive through the east side entrance to Yosemite, but alas, we were one week early. An alternative route that was open suddenly closed due to a May snowfall. Anyway, the Lake View Lodge was a nice place to hang our hats after a long day of driving Hwy.395. I did use... More

The Lake View Lodge is an older property that's been well maintained. Some rooms have been upgraded or are in the process of being renovated. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. The grounds are well maintained with table and chairs in several areas should you want to sit and enjoy the view. There's a... More

Kind of a fun blast from the past motel. The town was quiet, most things closed for the season in late March. Our room was clean, but thermostat did not adjust above 69 degrees and we were cold ( no extra blankets in room ). .. Word of warning.... They advertise free wifi. Well, just as long as you do...

Whilst on a Fly-Drive holiday in the States, after setting off from Las Vegas and driving through Death Valley heading onto Yosemite, we run out off daylight and needed a place to stay, we stumpled over this travel lodge in Lee Vinning and stopped for one night. Really enjoyed my stay here, the staff were friendly, the setting was great,... More

Not bad for the price. Beds were only OK; the room, towels, cleanliness were just fine. Had a problem with the heater under the window - couldn't keep the room a comfortable temperature (too hot or too cold) but it was below freezing outside. The restaurant, Nicely's, is a 1 minute walk away and just fine too.

I remember this motel from a stay 10 years ago when it was a Best Western. It is still a good motel with pleasant surroundings, clean and comfortable. The rooms are reasonable, spacious and have all the usual facilities. It is less than 5 minutes from shops, a market, and restaurants. It is back from the road and so quiet... More

Coming over the Tioga out of Yosemite we looked for a place to spend the night and chose Lake View Lodge. The staff was very friendly. The price was reasonable. The room was large, very clean with updated furnishings. Not much of a "lake view" but everything else was great. Highly recommended.

Stayed here in early Oct, so it was chilly at dawn and in evening, eastern Sierras live in the shadow of Yosemite, not much unless you appreciate beautiful quiet spaces! We had a queen room, not a cabin, likely renovated/refreshed probably within last 5-10 yrs., bathroom clean, excellent shower pressure, bed comfy, heater worked well. The hotel rooms though facing...
