    Pretty expensive for an average hotel room but I guess it’s the cost of location

    Guy at front desk was probably the most helpful hotel clerk I’ve ever experienced. From directions to restaurant choices, his advice and suggestions were amazing. Just super helpful

    The indoor pool is said to be heated but is colder than the outside pool so that was disappointing. Then, the mattress and pillows are not as comfortable as I am used too for Best Westerns.

    This hotel is fabulous. The room (2 kings) was specious and had everything needed including Keurig coffee, microwave and mini fridge. We love the proximity to Bass Lake and Yosemite Park entrance and the convenience of regular shops. The staff was very nice and approachable and knowledgeable. The facility has 2 pools and 2 jacuzzies. The free breakfast is phenomenal. We would definitely return.

    While the property’s location and public areas are truly beautiful, the guest rooms feel quite outdated and could benefit from a refresh. The breakfast area also outdated and lacks charm and variety, offering a very limited selection that doesn’t change day to day, which can be disappointing for longer stays.

    The location is excellent, and the hotel is beautifully decorated throughout. The grounds are lush and impeccably maintained, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. The lobby is especially elegant, spacious, thoughtfully designed, and a pleasure to walk into. Nice pool.

    We couldnt pick one fault..loved it!

    Beautiful resort full of character. The suite we had for a family of 5 was huge with 4 double beds across 2 rooms. Really comfortable sleep. We used the outdoor pool and the Spa and found them to be clean..good fun. The spa was great after a busy day! The breakfast had plenty of options. The Oakhurst Grill Food was great, we ate in there in the evening. Lovely food with an amazing view. The staff in reception were very friendly. Honestly couldn't fault the place. There were a few other hotels along the same road that looked like the usual chain style hotels, but we prefered the quirky Gateway Inn and would definately pick here again.

    The facilities are wonderful. The surroundings are beautiful and you may even have deer at your door! The gift store has beautiful craft conveniently priced. Breakfast is yummy, the staff is super efficient. The restaurant where breakfast offers a great dinner menu and the staff is great. Laundry can get crowded (understandably) but for the most part works efficiently. We had a great stay and would definitely be back!

    The room had bit of old smell, like it was closed for long. But eventually smell was gone once you had fan or A/C switched on for a while.

    It had good pool and spa. Breakfast was good. The location is convenient for Yosemite park drive.
