Yosemite View Lodge

Yosemite View Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"One the best rooms I have every stayed in. The room is literally by the Merced river-- can't beat the view. The room itself is large, ample space within, and a nice little kitchenette. The bathroom is large, well equipped, and clean. Restaurant within walking distance. Very close to top Yosemite tourist spots. Highly recommended."
