We stayed in a double queen room with a river front view, and I highly recommend staying in a room with that view. The room was spacious, clean and had a little kitchenette and a balcony right on the river, with a stunning view. There are several pools and hot tubs on the property and a large game room. There are two restaurants on site. Both are only open for dinner, but there is a market in the lobby that has some options for food as well. Would definitely stay again in the riverfront room. Housekeeping also did a great job cleaning our room although you do have to request it. Great property a few miles from Yosemite national park entrance.

My experience with hotels near national parks is usually subpar. Yosemite View Lodge ticks all the boxes, I would come back again. - Location: 4min drive from Yosemite park entrance Fast EV charging: Tesla chargers in the parking lot, in October there were plenty available - Easy check in and checkout - Pools and hot tubs: nice for a quick soak to relax - Comfort: clean and spacious rooms, kitchenettes have fridge, microwave and 2 burners for those who want to make their meals Good to know: bring eye masks because the light bulb outside the door is bright and blinds do not block it out. The fridge does not have a freezer compartment
