Best Western Plus Yosemite Gateway Inn

Arrive at the hotel after a big days driving from Monetary. Check in was fast and the lady behind reception was lovely and welcoming. We were given a room in the 4000 blocks right up near the top. You can drive and park your cars outside the blocks. Got to the room and it was clean and spacious, we had 2 queen beds and a balcony. large bathroom with a fridge and a microwave. This place has 2 pools, one indoor (we didn't go in this one however looked nice enough) and a outdoor one with a hot tub. Both beautiful maintained and open from 7am until 10:30 at night, lovely to relax in after a busy day exploring the national park. Breakfast was included and was by far the best breakfast on our road trip. There was full cooked breakfast, make your own pancakes, waffles, fruit, cereal, yogurt, everything you needed they had it. The location is great, takes around 1.5 hours to the main Yosemite valley. the restaurant was nice and reasonably priced food. Unfortuantly our youngest took ill whilst we stayed there, but the hotel were fantastic in providing a pop up spare bed, extra sheets, let us bring food fro the restaurant to the room - honesty couldn't have asked for more. there is a laundrette on site, which is great if like us your traveling light. the grounds are kept beautifully. I can safety say I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a base whilst they explore Yosemite. less

Within a half an hour of Southgate to Yosemite. One of the few hotels that have 2 king bed rooms. The room also had table & 2 chairs, countertop with fridge. There were tiny ants all of the desk even after cleaning it with soap and water. Higher priced but. Ether than in the park. Restaurant was just ok for dinner, it was $100 for 4 of us and not outstanding. Free breakfast however was much better then most hotels. Eggs were real and potatoes were cooked well. less

This is a large property with many rooms. There is an indoor and outdoor pool. There are grills for cooking. Breakfast is included in a nice hotel restaurant. The staff is nice. The property is decorated with fun statues, like the Statue of Liberty and all the rooms have paintings of Yosemite by the same artist. less

This is a great hotel, and it is much better that the national park hotels. The drive to Yosemite Village is only 1 hr 15 min if you go in the early morning. The room is a little dated, but very clean and comfortable. less

We paid a premium of staying here over other hotels which were cheaper and better. The rooms are at least 30 years old and the air con was dreadful. They seemed dark and almost scary. We paid for this hotel because from the pictures it looked good and a lot better than the other in the area however that was not the case. In future we know to prioritise location over hotel , the drive was horrific each morning and made us tired before we even got to the park. The hotel pool was small however is you can find a chair it’s okay to sit by. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel was it’s far from the park and just outdated. However they have 3 great waffle machines. less
