My boyfriend and I wanted a romantic getaway to Yosemite. All the rooms in the valley were booked so we stayed close in El Portal. We were both surprised to find that Yosemite View Lodge had all we wanted and more. We enjoyed the view of the river from our patio. Just a word of caution watch out for Racoons... More

My wife and I received an anniversary gift from a close friend as a belated wedding present. From reading some of the reviews, we were a little skeptical about our stay. We Were Wrong! We were staying in the Sequoia which overlooks the Merced River. Our room was on the third floor and had a Jetted Tub for two, fireplace,... More

We booked this hotel on Expedia for its price and proximity to Yosemite. For less than $100 a night, we had a free (surprise) upgrade to a king suite with jacuzzi, fireplace, and kitchenette, discovered upon entering the hotel room. We even called the front desk to make sure they had given us the right room... While I wouldn't call... More

We stayed here in May 2011 for 2 nights whilst visiting Yosemite National Park. We found the hotel very easily whilst arriving at night. Check in was easy, no issues. Upon arriving to the room we thought whilst cosy and clean they were quite dated. Breakfast was included with our rate and it was lovely - great start before walking... More

Stayed in a lower unit which had a large (20x20) patio and a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Room was in good condition had a small kitchenette (we brought supplies for hot chocolate!). It was quiet, even with people staying in adjoining units. When we head back to Yosemite, we'll definitely stay here again. Front desk was a little less... More

This motel is located just a few minutes drive from the enterence to Yosemite National Park. Our family including two children (6 & 9) stayed here is October 2011. The double room was spacious and it was great to be able to sit on a chair or sofa rather than having to lay on bed if wanting to relax. We... More

We visited the Yosemite View last spring because we had gotten a great Groupon deal. Our room was everything we could have hoped for for such a great price! The jacuzzi tub was super relaxing, the Merced River was steps from our room's patio, we had a lovely little fireplace, and the kitchenette was a huge money saver. The heated... More

Most all rooms are actually on the Merced River, equipped with a gas fireplace, kitchenette and spa-tub. The hotel is 2 miles from the entrance to Yosemite National Park. The check-in staff are efficient. We enjoyed a river view room that was clean and the kitchenette had all the basic utensils. The ice machine did not work in our building... More
