| Located about 10 minutes outside the park, Yosemite View Lodge offered an abundance of amenities and services. The room itself was very clean and had great views of the Merced River and surrounding landscape. The various pools offered many swimming options and the riverside spas were an especially nice treat. Next time I visit the park, I would definitely stay at the Yosemite View Lodge.

| The hotel was very comfortable and the room clean. Especially enjoyed the hot tub. The Hotel restaurant was not what I would consider fine dining and service was very poor. One try and we walked out. We were satisfied to be able to prepare breakfasts and lunches in out room. In spite of these small setbacks we would stay at the hotel again.

Food on property was good not spectacular but you are in a national park.Easy access to Yosemite, great pools. All in all after a days hiking ahhhhh to relax in a hot tub and pool.

| We had a very enjoyable stay at the Yosemite View Lodge. We especially liked the proimity to the Nat'l Park...15 minutes max to the Day Use Parking in Yosemite Valley. From there we were able to enjoy all the park had to offer at our convenience & didn't feel so crowded (like the lodging spots inside Yosemite) The lodge had some very convenient amenities including a restuarant, mini store and pools! Especially appreciated after a long day of hiking in Yosemite! The mini kitchen was more than adequate and helped cut down on paying for breakfast lunch...etc. We extended our stay by a day because we were enjoying Yosemite so much and although we had to switch rooms (noi big deal) the lodge was very accomodating to our family of 5. We would definately go back!

| Made last minute plans to go to Yosemite. Could not find anything going directly thru local hotels in and out of park. First time using Expedia.com and wasn't sure what to expect. Had a very nice room, with roaring river just feet away, big bath with 2 head shower and jaccuzzi tub, and just a couple of miles from the beautiful sights in Yosemite. Has nice restraunt and pizza joint. Very nice gift shop and the front desk was very helpful and courtious. Would definitely recomend this trip and this hotel to anyone.

| This motel is a nice place at a great location on the Merced River. It's very convenient to Yosemite and the drive into the park is extremely beautiful. My room was very large with a hugh bathroom and it was air conditioned and had a ceiling fan. Not all motels/hotels in No. California have A/C so this was very nice. This motel has a pizza restaurant which is really good and a regular restaurant which is pretty bad.

| A nice hotel with friendly staff. We had a riverview room and slept with the balcony door open allowing us to hear the Merced river rushing past, pretty cool. The Pizza shop restaurant on site served decent pizza and was very convenient. Overall a good value.
