The Oakhurst Inn at Yosemite

Due to uncertainty over circumstances that may have delayed our trip, we booked the Oakhurst Inn as a base for spending 3 nights near Yosemite very last minute. The Inn is what you'd expect from 2 star accommodation, but with a few really nice benefits. Firstly, the room size was generous. Secondly, the self-serve breakfast was super efficient and included with the standard booking - this was really helpful when we were up early to get to the hiking trails. Locaiton wise, you are ~20mins from the south entrance of Yosemite (~45mins from the valley itself), which is about as good as you're going to get unless you booked well in advance to stay inside the park or have plenty $$$ to spare. The town has everything you need and was a great base for our stay.

The staff were all super friendly and helpful. Let me have an hour later check out upon request. I really enjoyed the breakfast, waffles, sausages, omelettes, what not to love. Beds were quite comfortable. It was a very convenient location for our day trip to Yosemite NP but we liked being in a town with all the shops, restaurants and services. Our room was a good size for us to pack ALL our bags for our long haul flight.

Everything was great! Breakfast was great! Great location for Yosemite and the lake and other activities. I stayed for 5 days and it was perfect. Diane the breakfast lady made great meals and keeps the area clean and stocked with food items. We loved the mattress! Never woke up with a backache like I do at home. The only thing is we had low water pressure when showering but that was still okay. What I loved about the Inn was the plants/garden around the facility. Very well kept facility. I’d recommend to anyone and if I went back to this area, I’d stay there again. The stay made my vacation great!

The breakfast was very nice on two days, then on Wednesday, they did not have sausage or biscuits. The room is nice, although small. Fortunately the adjoining patio was sufficiently large. It should have propane heaters in cool weather, but it was fine during our stay. The lobby is attractive and suits the mountain location very well. Our window could be opened. That's always a nice option. The heater and A/C unit worked and was quiet. The room had lots of floor space for our duffle bags filled with just-in-case-of snow (and snowshoeing) winter clothing. But no table for eating a snack or sharing a map. The chairs were truly comfortable, as was the bed.

+ Breakfast is great there, with many different options to choose from - scrambled eggs, bacon, waffles, bread, cheese, jams, and more + Localisation is also great, a 30-60 minute drive to national park, the town itself also offers many stores, restaurants, little shops + The hotel is quite big, offering many rooms and with many parking places + Clean, comfortable rooms with coffee machines inside
