Probably the best place to stay for all year, easy access to the valley. I booked my trip expecting some potentially snowy weather although it wasn't an issue for me, the forecast shifted in my favor. Yosemite view would have provided the easiest and shortest drive in to the valley from anywhere outside the park - 25 minutes of what can only be called a "destination drive" to the valley and all the parks villages campgrounds and eateries. The drive itself is so beautiful and care free it's actually a strong argument to stay just outside the park. Although dated, the lodge has a humble charm that I rather enjoyed. The hot tubs were functional in December, it was still sixty plus degrees and sunny. The room was clean enough and provided a kitchenette. There is a convenient store with a gift shop. If you forgot any miscellaneous items or have any last minute trail needs it's handy. The convenience store was stocked well enough - frozen breakfast burritos, pizzas energy drinks, pretty decent alcoholic beverage selections as well. Both the pizza place an restaurant were good, pricing was on par with attraction oriented dining. If you are looking for a dinner place in the park that's very romantic but a little pricier look into getting a reservation at the awahnee. Basecamp eatery at Yosemite Valley lodge also can be handy for last minute trail snacks or a place to sit inside if you need it and are already in the park. I'd recommend this place to anyone!
