    The place had Tesla fast charging stations.

    The place had Tesla fast charging stations. The property was old but clean. The carpet could use a deep clean. The room had a balcony with a table and some chairs great for drinking with friends or just hang out and relax while looking out the river. The room was really big and spacious with a ref, stove top, coffee maker and some cooking and serving utensils. Actually the property was decent but with no cellular coverage (Tmobile), wifi should have been readily available. Here you have to pay through a 3rd party. Sad! So it’s not great for virtual meetings and stuff.

    The location and staff were excellent!!

    The location and staff were excellent!! The room was clean, the amenities were great as well, the only problem was our TV. Maintenance couldn’t fix it so they gave us the internet for the TV the first night to remedy the situation which was amazing but not the second night which put a damper on things with no Tv to relax the second night.

    The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite.

    The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite. The room was good. The Pizza restaurant was good. We didn't like having to book room service (towels etc and coffee for room) on a daily basis. In our opinion is a throwback to Covid pandemic days, as a management policy to save money not support the customer.

    Close to Yosemite park entrance, just a short drive. Mildly wild river behind the hotel is great. We ate mostly in Yosemite park (very nice dinner at Yosemite Valley Lodge Mountain Dining Room and a great lunch at Ahwahnee hotel bar).

    Stunning location with great views.

    Stunning location with great views. Times quoted for fitness room and swimming opening did not happen. Rooms spacious with good facilities but all looked rather shabby and dated. Rooms need a makeover. Balcony view was amazing.

    The apartment was spacious and had a small kitchenette with a small refrigerator and 2 hotplates. The bed was very comfortable. You could use different pools and whirlpools until 10:00 in the evening. For a total of about $4, you could do your own laundry (you have to bring detergent!) and use a dryer. Both the SPA areas, as well as the laundry area and the front desk could be reached on foot. A parking lot was available a few feet from the apartment. Yosemite National Park could be reached in about 10 minutes by car.

    My family liked everything at the hotel. After a long day at Yosemite we were tired but wanted to go swimming before making dinner. The indoor pool was great. Once we made dinner in our apartment style room the kids wanted to go play in the gameroom. They stayed til closing and when they woke up they went right back to the gameroom. The gameroom made my kids vacation exceptional. Never get rid of that. They want to go back to Yosemite just for the hotel!!!

    Clean, basic, easy check-in at Cedar Lodge. Hot tub is fantastic. Festoon lights are a nice touch. One car space. Located OUTSIDE Yosemite NP, it can be a quick 30 minute drive to the entry gate if you leave early each day (between 6am & 8am). One day we left at 10.15am and it took a full 3 hours in a crawling queue of traffic just to reach the park gate. This was late May, Memorial Day weekend. Big fridge/freezer.

    The bed was very comfortable, the location was excellent not far from the gate to Yosemite and there was the gorgeous Merced River running right behind the hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I have a disability and was appreciative of the room close to the elevator. There were restaurants in the facility which, although pricey, were the only restaurants for miles so quite necessary.

    The location really is stunning amazing. So close to Yosemite entrance it's very hard to beat without being actually in the park. Due to having a bit of a disaster with our luggage on our flight we didnt get to the hotel until 2am but they the staff were still around and we were able to check in. The pool was nicer than I had thought. I liked the balcony on our room overlooking the green mountains.

    Comfortable, mostly modern hotel convenient to Yosemite. There is no cell service, but they make up for the isolation by providing guests everything they need. We especially liked the grocery store in the gift shop and the river access across the street. All staff were friendly and helpful.

    There is not much good to say about this place except that it's bad. And I highly suggest to anyone reading this review to NEVER book a single night at Yosemite View Lodge. Oh perhaps the only thing that was ok was the renovated bayhroom.
