Exceptional Stay at Yosemite View Lodge – Great Location & Wonderful Staff
I stayed at Yosemite View Lodge from July 14–15, 2025, and I had an amazing experience that exceeded expectations in many ways.
1. Outstanding service from the staff
During my stay, I accidentally broke the glass plate inside the microwave. The staff showed genuine concern — not about the damage — but whether I’d still be able to use the microwave. When I asked about any damage fees, they kindly told me not to worry and explained that it was a common accident and there would be no charge. Their kindness and professionalism were truly appreciated.
2. Perfect location for Yosemite visitors
The lodge is located just minutes from the entrance to Yosemite National Park, which made our trip incredibly convenient. The view from behind the hotel, facing the creek and surrounded by nature, was absolutely stunning and peaceful.
3. Well-equipped and comfortable rooms
Our room came with excellent amenities, including a stove, microwave, and cooking utensils. This allowed us to cook our own meals and made the stay much more comfortable and convenient, especially for travelers who prefer self-catering.
4. Lively game room and social atmosphere
The hotel has a real game room — not just for display — with pool tables, ping pong, air hockey, and more. Many guests were playing, and it created a fun, social atmosphere. I even made a few new friends there, which was a lovely bonus!
5. Multiple pools and relaxing spa options
Yosemite View Lodge offers several pools — both indoor and outdoor — including a relaxing hot spa pool. After a long day of hiking, soaking in the hot tub was perfect. The only minor downside was that there were no shower rooms near the pool area, but this didn’t detract much from the overall experience.
In summary, this was a fantastic stay with warm hospitality, great facilities, and a location that can’t be beat. I would absolutely recommend Yosemite View Lodge to anyone visiting Yosemite!

Spacious Rooms and Fun Game Room, But Be Prepared for Basics
We stayed at Yosemite View Lodge for a couple of nights and found it to be a convenient base for exploring Yosemite. The room was spacious and generally clean, though the design and furnishings are a bit dated.
The highlight of our stay was definitely the game room — it was a great surprise with plenty of fun options for both kids and adults: ping-pong, pool, air hockey, Jenga, and more. A great way to wind down in the evening!
The property is large, with multiple pools and hot tubs scattered across the grounds, which is a nice touch. However, be prepared when it comes to water — there's no complimentary bottled water in the room, and the tap water isn't great for drinking (cloudy when refilling bottles). Best to bring your own or get water from the restaurant.
There are two dining options onsite: a sit-down restaurant and a pizza place. We found the pizza place much better. The restaurant food was average and service was delayed due to a kitchen issue during our visit.
Overall, Yosemite View Lodge is a solid, no-frills stay with spacious rooms and a fun recreational space — just come prepared with your own water and realistic expectations on dining.
