Always a pleasant stay at a great location. We love having the kitchenette available after a day in the park or breakfast before heading out. The river view rooms are a lovely treat.
We love staying at the Yosemite Valley Lodge. It is so close to the park and the views of the river from the hotel are amazing. We explored the property a little more this time and can't wait to go back to enjoy the rec room and pools.
Great stay, most of the staff is really nice. Food in the restaurant is bland and gross for how expensive it is. Get some seasonings in that kitchen and everything will be so much better

It’s a great place to stay, loved hot tubs, outdoor fireplace and gaming options.
Good location, just half a mile from the entrance to Yosemite National Park. Helpful staff and plenty parking. Rooms had a stove, mini fridge, utensils and microwave. Good amenities to spend time indoors with family.
We love Yosemite View Lodge! We stay here every time we visit. Beautiful spot, great staff and clean, with lots to do on the property. Great for kids and pets too!
Our family of three had a great stay at Yosemite View Lodge. The room was clean and cozy, the staff was friendly, and the location right by the park entrance was perfect. Would happily stay again!
