Couldn't ask for better!
We really enjoyed staying at the Yosemite View! We booked the Family Suite since we were traveling with four adults and two children. There were two very nice rooms, two bathrooms and a kitchenette which worked out perfectly for us. Everything was clean and in good repair. There was a propane fireplace in the main room, which really added to the charm and ambiance and we really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub in our room! The back patio overlooked the Yosemite River, so the view was unbeatable! We enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub, and the game room has free play arcade games which my kids LOVED! This was probably one of the most enjoyable hotel experiences I've had and we will definitely be coming back next year!

Great place just outside of the park
The lodge was only 2.2 miles from the entrance to Yosemite. The rate was much lower than the in park hotels. Our room had a great view of the river.

2/10 Poor

I was given a dirty room to start, and then the power went out for the entire night with no heat for any of the rooms.

Great stay near Yosemite NP
Close to the entrance of Yosemite NP on Highway 140. The prices are affordable compared to staying in the park. Wi-Fi is $9.99 per day and can be slow at times. The breakfast cost about $20 and wasn't really worth it. There is a hot tub and game room, both are great after a long day of hiking.

You wanted to sleep? Ha ha ha…
Overall good experience however, for the top tier room… the bed was HORRIBLE. Not sure what happened as we have booked this room two other times in the past. This time, the bed was EXTREMELY uncomfortable causing both of us to not get any sleep the entire weekend. It literally feels like a stack of used cardboard.
