The room was nice and clean. We had the loft and that worked perfectly for us. The tv was a bit tricky to figure out, but we got it eventually. I loved the little market at the front desk and the staff was friendly. I guess it was off season because there was no breakfast buffet and the pizza place was closed. The River restaurant was our only option and the food was very mid. We ate dinner there the first night and breakfast the next morning. It was fine for what it was but the staff was friendly so that’s a plus.

Very good location to Yosemite park. Hot water takes an extremely long time to come through! I thought it was broken..had to run 2 separate taps and the shower to get it to work. This was all the time not just a one-off. Some of the kitchen crockery needs replacing.

We absolutely love this hotel. We stay here at least once a year if not more. The riverside and riverview rooms have a kitchenette, fireplace, whirlpool tub, table and chairs, upgraded TV's and brand new furniture. The rooms are wonderful and the view is gorgeous. They recently upgraded all the rooms and have multiple pools and spas to choose from. Additionally they've also added a family/gameroom with boardgames, pool tables and foosball. Plus areas to sit and read or just relax. Plus, the hotel is only 15 min from Yosemite and 45 min from Mariposa. And the drive is beautiful. We had a leaky shower, and the serviceman came and fixed it right away. He was very efficient and friendly. The front desk girl when we checked in was very friendly and helpful. We had a lot of questions, and she went above and beyond to accommodate us. This place is quite a bit less expensive than staying in the Valley. Having grown up coming to Yosemite, as an adult, finding the Yosemite View Lodge was great.

The staff was very friendly, and the room was good. Good. Was a bit disappointing that the pizza place was closed for the season, but it's all good. The Wi-Fi can be pretty hit or miss, when a lot of people are on it, It gets really slow. It's convenient to have coffee in the little shop that is next to the front lobby.
