Yosemite View Lodge

We stayed in May, so the river view was nice. No pool was in operation yet, neither the old one nor the new one still under construction. Room features were fine. I appreciated the large tub even though we never ended up using it as a hot tub.

The room is clear and staffs are very nice.

Nice pool, good location. WiFi very intermittent.

For something that ran as much as this does, there were some features that were missing that I would’ve expected. Little things like soaps and shampoo and other small amenities, just in case you forget them. My shower ran out of cold water within less than a minute, so evidently they have limited capacity so you have to time that well. Was also surprised they didn’t have paper towels or napkins in the kitchenette area, again usually a standard feature when you are renting something with a kitchenette. Also, no pitcher for water. Loved having the ability to use the indoor swimming pool and hot tub, although it kind of grosses me out when there is foam in a hot tub because you don’t know what causes it. Unfortunately we do not get a beer room this time around and there was construction that we could see from our window, but maybe that’s because I booked via hotels.com, don’t know. Front desk staff did not seem like she wanted to be working, there was a lot of tense chitter chatter between the people working there when we registered. Did not make me feel welcome. That said, you cannot beat the convenience of the location. And the river is just glorious.

We loved our stay and hope to be back! Staff was extremely helpful and friendly and words cannot do justice to the spectacular setting by the Merced.
