Nice location outside the park

This is a great location right outside Yosemite. We enjoyed the pool and large game room and river view from our back deck. Having a restaurant right next door after a long day is a great perk as well.
Kristin, 3-night trip

Very characterful room, with the balcony overlooking the fast moving Merced river - amazing views! Very clean. Excellent facilities with several swimming pools, indoors and outdoors.

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommend staying here.

We loved staying at this place. The location is awesome, the room we got was very spacious with all the amenities we needed and had very comfortable bed. The only thing that was not so good was that we and probably other tables had to wait for almost an hour for our dinner to arrive at the River restaurant on week night.

Stay at the Yosemite View lodge

The Yosemite View Lodge is a great place to stay. We got the rooms facing the river and the kitchenette. There was also a hot tub with spa jets that can be used after a hike in the cold weather. Room service was provided upon request. Must request beforw 11 AM. Overall a great place to stay if visiting Yosemite.

Perfect location right outside Yosemite gate! The river was so pretty, we roasted marshmallows by the river. We enjoyed the indoor pool, the game room, the store and the grounds.
Paula, 2-night trip

Loved This Hotel!

We had a great stay! Loved the balcony overlooking the river and the hot tub in the room! We also loved the fireplace in the room and the beds were comfy and soft. Although we came in the winter we appreciate that they were many pools including an indoor pool that was heated. They also have a gym on site. It is only 4 mi from the entrance to Yosemite! We would definitely stay here again
