Good location just outside the Arch Rock park entrance.
We loved having a kitchenette to cook and relaxing at the pool and hot tub at the end of the day after a long hike was great. The restaurants on site have excellent food which was a nice surprise. The pizza is awesome!
Really nice hotel in excellent location for Yosemite Valley and beyond. Room was large with two queen beds. A restaurant and pizzeria on site was handy. Ideal for visiting Yosemite and easy to get to.
The property was right at the foot hills of Yosemite National Park, price was good and the rooms were excellent. Not flash, although clean, large and comfortable.
A wonderful place—the rooms are clean and quiet, nestled among the mountains and beside the river, and very close to the park entrance, which is extremely convenient.
We had a very nice stay at Yosemite View Lodge. The rooms were large and clean with small kitchenettes and spacious bathrooms. The River restaurant was really good - I can't remember our waiters name, but he was fabulous. Property had several pools, hot tubs, outdoor firepit that was so relaxing after a day of hiking, small grocery and gift shop. I would stay there again.
It’s the perfect location for exploring Yosemite. The rooms are a little dated but have everything you need. Breakfast is outrageously overpriced so make sure you plan ahead!
