This is the first time I traveled to Yosemite in the winter and stayed outside the park. However, the drive to the park entrance isn't that far. In fact, it is closer than the winding road in Yosemite West which is located inside the park. I also looked in to Yosemite Falls at the lodge with a tag of $180... more

Large hotel complex. Best hotel on our western USA trip. Maybe we were lucky getting a bigger room with balcony at the river and wood site and a huge bathroom with whirlpool. Highlight was a little kitchenette, so we could cook our own food and could have breakfast and diner at the balcony (unfortunately the choice in the nearest shop... more

We spent 15 weeks travelling around the USA and this was our final stop before our flight out. To come home from Yosemite (Valley 30 minute very pleasant drive) and spark up the (gas) fire, relax in the tub and then have a port on the verandah overviewing a beautiful river was just superb. The rooms were of good size,... more

This hotel is a sprawling complex with multiple buildings, some of which shut down for the winter months. A big fat racoon greeted us upon arrival outside our front door! Our large comfotable room on the second floor was equipped with a microwave, small refrigerator, 2 range burners, toaster, coffee maker, small sink, and a variety of pots and dishware.... more

Location is fine but unfortunately we didnt get a room with a river view. We had to ask for towels to lay by front door as there was a large gap under door and as you can imagine in december there is going to be a cold draught. Kitchenette very handy .Ate in the small restaurant on the first evening... more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to stay to spend a couple of days around NYE. Yosemite View fit the bill as it was the last hotel before getting into the park, had a kitchenette so we could cook and had a few amenities such as a pool (indoor considering the season) and restaurant in case we... more

The hotel was what should be expected from any hotel. The room was clean and well kept. It included a fireplace, mini kitchen, and spa in bathroom. I requested two double beds, but got a king size instead. The room had a great view of the river, and is the closest hotel that is not inside Yosemite Park (if you... more

Yosemite View Lodge is in a perfect location to visit the National Park, it's probably about a mile from the lodge. We booked in at reception to faced with staff who were pleasant but not very helpful, there was no information forthcoming about the area or the lodge. The rooms are very spacious, slightly dated and dark but they are... more

I have stayed in Yosemite before and found the accommodation fine. I was planning on staying in the same place again. However, when we arrived it was full (apart from the outrageously expensive hotel which i would never pay for). We headed back out the park and stayed at this lodge. The guy at reception was helpful and gave a... more

Rooms a bit dark and dreary. old fashioned classic American motel, but absolutely huge. Carpet unclean in bedroom. Kitchenette useful and can stock up at El Portal - much better than food shop actually in teh motel.. Good location just outside the Park but think another time i would try inside the park. Bar closed at 9pm each night which... more
