Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Handy location for Yosemite park entry. Good pizza place for eat in and take out on site. Good restaurant on site too. It served a buffet breakfast- not included in price but didn’t try it. Good food selection in shop in lobby and as the rooms have kitchenettes it’s perfect to self cater. Saw an otter in river at hotel. Free parking.

    I was expecting a motel but was much nicer than that. It’s only a 20 min drive to get to Yosemite’s entrance, the weather is warmer than in the park, and the room was tidy and clean.

    Our family visited 8 national parks this summer, and Yosemite View Lodge was, by far, our favorite. It reminded me of “old school” motels from my childhood. The proximity to Yosemite couldn’t have been better, our room was clean and spacious, and the price point was reasonable. We would love to come back.

    It’s the closest motel to Yosemite, just a few minutes drive to the gate. Rooms overlook a spectacular white water river. It’s big: like a little village with pizza place, restaurant, bar and shop. If you can’t find accommodation inside the park (which is preferable as they will close the entrances when it gets busy), then this is the next best thing.

    The location was very convenient to Yosemite and other close by scenery. The WiFi was adequate, although an extra charge, but it is a remote area, so infrastructure isn’t as easy as it is in a more populated area, so I get it. The location is quiet, and easy to find. With a small restaurant and bar, a gift shop, and friendly staff, the motel seemed to be more than just a place to sleep. It’s not a 5 star resort, but it’s also much more affordable than a larger, fancier property would be. This motel is everything it should be.
