Having read the description of Yosemite View Lodge on the web we were really looking forward to our stay. We were extremely disappointed. Our room did not have a river view or a jetted tub or a gas fireplace. It was dark and dreary and not very comfortable. The provisions for eating at Yosemite View Lodge were poor as the restaurant would not take ...

We stayed here in late June 2007, and the best thing that we can say about this place is the marvelous location. This is truly a "riverfront property", only a 7 minute drive from the Park's Arch Rock (west) entrance, with the beautiful Merced River flowing parallel to the entire motel only 5-6 yards from our patio/balcony. There is ...

Oakhurst is an hour outside the park and this place is 10 minutes from the valley floor. The breakfast is pretty bad though so consider bringing your own food and take advantage of the kitchenette in your room...that's what it's there for! Dinner at the restaurant is good and the pizza joint makes a great pizza too. Staff was good to us ...

The front desk help had no customer service skills whatsoever. They could not keep up billing and reservations. They tried to charge us again at checkout after we had pre-paid for the room-they couldn't find our payment on the computer. When we confronted them on the discrepancies, they couldn't explain the problems.

The room are ...

The rooms were spacious, clean, and a welcome place to return to after a long day at the park.

The balcony overlooking the Merced river was a delightful place to enjoy your morning coffee. Being so close to the park it was easy to have breakfast and make it too the park for early light photography.

The restaurant(s) on site were good and ...

Pizza very good, after climbing up to Vernal Falls that day. OK, sure the cost of a container of Ben & Jerrys Chunky Monkey is $4.80, but I can afford it. I am on vacation, and if you go to a small market any where you will pay premium.

I think the reason that we had such a good time, is we went 5/8 and 5/9 2007. Hotel wasn't very ...

I am the kind of woman who used to camp and backpack all the time in my youth, now I stay in hotels/motels that I insist on having excellent cleanliness, customer service and, well, make it worth my time and money to be there...
This Lodge does all that...I don't get the other reviews about the staff being rude or insufficient - we found them ...

Nice place to stay.

We just got back from Yosemite and the Yosemite View Lodge. We loved the location, the pools and the Pizza place is wonderful. Our room had a kitchenette and after buying groceries in the small store, we were able to cook and supplement with take out salads from the pizza shop (excellent pizza too!). The prices weren't overly outrageous at ...
