The room was spotless. Modern and spacious. The kitchenette had most of what we needed. Our bathroom was beautiful and clean. Slept great at night with the clean sheets and quiet rooms. The front desk were helpful and nice. What stood out about Yosemite View Lodge is the accessibility and variety. There was everything on site. We especially enjoyed the gym equipped with a variety of machines. The game room also had great games available for all ages. We were stunned by the number of pools and jacuzzi available. There are many options for hanging out like the fireplace and multiple swimhs, benches, and tables around with a lake view. The gift shop had nice items and the store was semi stocked with ready to eat food, snacks, grocery, and cold items. There are two restaurants on site. The pizza was good. Overall, this is a great option to stay at and would highly recommend.

The hotel services were unsatisfactory. The room’s jacuzzi was not working, the stove was broken, the internet was very weak, and the TV couldn’t connect to the internet. The coffee maker didn’t work, and the bed sheets were not clean. The amount I paid was not worth the quality of the services provided. The only positive aspect was the location of the room, which was next to the river.

I had a great experience during my stay. Check-in was fast and smooth, and the staff was very kind. I really appreciated how easy and welcoming they were about being dog-friendly, since I was traveling with my son’s service dog and my other pup. My room was on the main floor with a beautiful river view. It was very clean, cozy, and well-kept. I also loved the amenities having a small stove, microwave, and mini fridge made the stay even more convenient. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommend!
