No WiFi connection, no breakfast included. Cost of BF $22,0, expensive night, and much further away from Yosemite park than expected, based on the information given.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It is hard to beat the beauty of the park with new snowfall, and the environs of the lodge with red buds blooming. Plus the rush of the river is magic. Staff were friendly and the room was fine. We couldn't find the temperature control however. I would love to leave the sliding door cracked to hear the river at night, but there were no screen doors. Also, wifi is $10/day, and inside the room there is no cell phone service. In places, you might have 4G, but it seems to be hit or miss. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

The staff at the office had no experience, rude, slow, didn't know how ti look for reservations plus they said my room was going to be ready in one hour left for an hour and a half and still not ready. They said 30 more minutes because they were working on cleaning it. They thought we didn't hear them but they had just started cleaning it. Yosemite View Lodge is always or stay in hotel but definitely this time was our worst experience!
