We fell in love with this place! The patio river view was the best, but they also have huge jacuzzi tubs, multiple pools and an indoor pool, a game room, and a cute gift shop/grocery store. The only thing I feel they need to improve is the dinning experience. It was very expensive and the quality was lacking, and so was the service. Other than that it was a great stay with wonderful memories made!

Very nice property, location, amenities. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because their WiFi is extremely frustrating: constantly losing connection. May as well list it as w/o WiFi - and the worst is that cell phone signal is 0 bars. So, (almost) no internet - keep that in mind if you ever need to take a zoom call or anything like that while there. You’d need to drive up to the Yosemite Village for closest decent internet (cellular and WiFi) connection. Otherwise, wonderful property.

Stay at the Yosemite View lodge

The Yosemite View Lodge is a great place to stay. We got the rooms facing the river and the kitchenette. There was also a hot tub with spa jets that can be used after a hike in the cold weather. Room service was provided upon request. Must request beforw 11 AM. Overall a great place to stay if visiting Yosemite.
