Yosemite View Lodge

Yosemite View Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Staff was nice and always helpful. We needed a cot and then a baby bed (pack n play) and they were pretty quick about it. Pool was clean. Kitchenette had pots, pans, plates, silverware, glass which I didn't expect but was good to have. Mini fridge was spacious (but we did have a cooler in our truck as back up). Didn't know coffee was free if I brought my own cup, my husband just overheard someone saying that the last day. I spent like $15 purchasing a coffee for 3 or 4 morning. I was there 5 night. The pizza place was pretty good. Didn't get a chance to try the other restaurant since it's always full and long wait. There's a playground and a pool which my kids enjoyed. Room is cleaned upon request so I just requested it to be cleaned everyday for the 5 days I was staying there and didn't have to call everyday to have it cleaned the next day, that was nice. Most Yosemite main view points were 30 min drive from the hotel. Overall I had a great experience."
