    The location was Prime! we had a room with a patio right off Merced River, and for an older Lodge they've kept it very well maintained.

    The location of Yosemite Lodge is excellent, the closest you can get to the National Park without being in it. Wifi was disappointing as you had to pay 10 dollars to connect two devices each day and the service still wasn't great. But you don't go to the area for wifi to be honest!

    The location of the hotel is impeccable. It is the nearest lodge to Yosemite NP and directly at Merced River. There are several apartment buildings and the rooms are very spacious, especially the bathroom! There are also some activities like a pool, a game room and a restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly, special thanks to our bartender gave us some recommendations for the park.

    Amazing stay at Yosemite View lodge. It’s super close to Yosemite. Everything was clean, comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful when needed. The facility is really big. We got a room for 2 people with the spa tub and it was just perfect. Exactly what we wanted with my husband. I would recommend it to anyone 100% !

    Location: Like many other lodges, this one is only a few short minutes from the gate to Yosemite park. Even BETTER than other lodges, it is only about another 10/15 min to the valley, which was great!
