We stayed here in May 2011 for 2 nights whilst visiting Yosemite National Park. We found the hotel very easily whilst arriving at night. Check in was easy, no issues. Upon arriving to the room we thought whilst cosy and clean they were quite dated. Breakfast was included with our rate and it was lovely - great start before walking... More

Stayed in a lower unit which had a large (20x20) patio and a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Room was in good condition had a small kitchenette (we brought supplies for hot chocolate!). It was quiet, even with people staying in adjoining units. When we head back to Yosemite, we'll definitely stay here again. Front desk was a little less... More

If you're looking for a hotel with great amenities and close to Yosemite Valley this is the place for you. To begin with this hotel is just twenty minutes from Yosemite Village.The hotel is located next to the Merced River and provides great opportunities for a photoshoot of the river. Our room was good size and clean. The room itself... More

This motel is located just a few minutes drive from the enterence to Yosemite National Park. Our family including two children (6 & 9) stayed here is October 2011. The double room was spacious and it was great to be able to sit on a chair or sofa rather than having to lay on bed if wanting to relax. We... More

We visited the Yosemite View last spring because we had gotten a great Groupon deal. Our room was everything we could have hoped for for such a great price! The jacuzzi tub was super relaxing, the Merced River was steps from our room's patio, we had a lovely little fireplace, and the kitchenette was a huge money saver. The heated... More

Most all rooms are actually on the Merced River, equipped with a gas fireplace, kitchenette and spa-tub. The hotel is 2 miles from the entrance to Yosemite National Park. The check-in staff are efficient. We enjoyed a river view room that was clean and the kitchenette had all the basic utensils. The ice machine did not work in our building... More

Worst place we've stayed in for years: miserable, miserable receptionists on arrival; ancient, musty room; dodgy heater; tatty bedding, with holes worn in blankets; thinnest towels ever in bathroom; OK food in restaurant, but overpriced; if you do have neighbours, expect to hear them very clearly through the paper-thin walls. However, Yosemite itself is well worth a visit - we... More

The position is very convenient to Yosemite entrance, even though there is not much to do around. We had a beautiful room with a Jacuzzi and an electric fireplace which we enjoyed much. There was also a useful kitchenette in the room and a huge bathroom. In the complex there is a pool and a hot tub. We stayed there... More

Considering the shortage of accommodation in Yosemite, this is quite convenient. Yet convenient is still half an hour's drive to the point you think you missed the hotel, and then there it is! Across the hotel there is a lovely picknick area along the river. The room is large, clean, comfortable. BUT - does it have to be this expensive... More
