Top El Portal Hotel Reviews

Yosemite View Lodge

Yosemite View Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This place was in a great spot right next to the park, nearest town was an hour away. Had to eat at the restaurants on site as there is nowhere else to eat. If driving, I suggest bringing groceries & cooking in the kitchenette. The pizza place was excellent, the other restaurant-expensive & not that good 👎 They have a little market, it's expensive as well, but has a good selection. The gift shop was good too. No other gift shops except inside the park."

"The property is well maintained and clean. It is convenient to Yosemite national Park, but there are other accommodations much closer to the park that you might want to consider. Mariposa is a great little town with unique shops and live music in the city park."
