Best Western Plus Yosemite Gateway Inn

We stayed in the Best Western for 2 nights while visiting Yosemite. The room was nice with a balcony and a short flight of stairs to get to our 2nd floor room. The ladies at check-in and checkout were friendly. They have a laundry area and I was able to do laundry without a wait. We had tried to eat lunch at the restaurant our 1st day. We stood inside for awhile but no one came to help us. We didn't realize until later on that it didn't open until 5 pm. The hours should be posted on the door or at least a closed sign should be on the door. We did eat there the next day and it was excellent. The 1st morning we didn't do breakfast because we wanted to get into Yosemite early. The 2nd morning we did go for breakfast but it was a fiasco. There was no organization and people were everywhere. We had to wait on plates and then the milk and yogurt was out. We finally grabbed a little food and headed back to our room. I cannot recommend the breakfast but maybe we just hit it at a bad time. less

This hotel was perfect for a family of five. We had a two bedroom suite which accommodated us perfectly. The price was right and we were about 25 mins from the entrance of the national park. However, depending which hike your going to do, there's about another hour drive to the trail head or to the village. We drove about an hour and 15 mins one way everyday for our hole 8 day visit. If I had to change it, I might have looked into camping in the actual park for a few days and then hotel for the rest of the stay. Especially because you need to arrive at the park by 6:30ish to get a parking space and not wait in traffic. The hotel is a little out dated but they are definitely doing some remodeling as far as switching out beds and furniture in the rooms . They had a nice pool and hot tub that we enjoyed after our long hikes. The complimentary breakfast was great too, although most our mornings were early and they didn't open till 6:30 so we missed it. less

Following the recent evacuation of Mariposa town due to wildfire we found ourselves with nowhere to stay and no belongings as all our stuff was in our hotel. We arrived at the Best Western in Oakhurst looking for a room. The hotel was fully booked but I want to congratulate the staff on their friendliness and compassion. The receptionist was advising us where else we could look for accommodation, allowing us to use the restrooms and the customer only computer and gave us internet access so we could look for somewhere to stay. With 4 kids it was a stressful time. We then went to eat at the restaurant and staff there were excellent especially Christian the manager. He could see how upset our kids were and went out of his way to make sure that we were ok. We were offered dessert on the house and this bought a smile to our kids' faces. If we ever come to California again I will definitely stay at the Best Western in Oakhurst. less

Room was quite dark. The bathroom could do with updating. Liked there were 2 sinks, oneinside the bathroom and one outside next to coffee machine. Sound insulation not great. Could hear baby crying in room above. Quicker cleaning of tables after guests have finished their breakfast would be good and clearer directions for the removal of used and dirty breakfast items would be helpful. Choice of eggs at breakfast would be nice instead of just scrambled eggs. I like the automated self-service waffle and pancake machines. less

Stayed 4 nights at Best Westen Plus Yosemite. It is an easy access to Yosemite (about 30 min from the south entrance) and 10 minutes to Bass Lake. Great place to stay. I would come back here again as it is the best accommodation in the area. FYI this is a motel style Inn. Room for improvement would be more variety on their breakfast buffet. less
