Stay at the Yosemite View lodge

The Yosemite View Lodge is a great place to stay. We got the rooms facing the river and the kitchenette. There was also a hot tub with spa jets that can be used after a hike in the cold weather. Room service was provided upon request. Must request beforw 11 AM. Overall a great place to stay if visiting Yosemite.
