Beautiful hotel, great location.

Beautiful hotel, great location and customer service was great The only disappointment was the shower in the bathroom. It was very grouse There was someone’s hairs, and I mean like a bundle of it on the shower wall which wasn’t cleaned. Hopefully next time the house keepers will do a better job checking every where when cleaning.

Close proximity but….

The property is nice and convenient to Yosemite. This hotel needs renovation coz it looks outdated. The room needs thorough cleaning since there were still pieces of clothes that were left under the table and accessories under the bed. Breakfast was awesome!

I really like this property. Before I go, I have a request to get a ground level for my dad. They replied to me within 24hr. The location is convenient to Yosemite. The property provide what we need: easy parking, nice WIFI, great location, wonderful breakfast and great service. I forgot my cell phone either in the room or at on site restaurant. When I called the hotel, they told me they found it and mailed it back to me. Such a wonderful place and service. I am very appreciated what they provided and highly recommend it to you.

Quiet, clean convenient. Right accross the street from the Heavenly village shopping, dining area. 3 blocks from Nevada. Mountain views from the free breakfast with outside dining area as well. Very nice Salt of the Earth folks that i would want as friends all around. Affardable happy hour at the same area with mountain views . Biggest disappointment was walking to the beach, 3 blocks away, to find it all gated off with 2 enforcers with a $30 price per head just to stick your toes in the water, or get a picture. Must have a car in Tahoe to go somewhere else to see Lake Tahoe!

From the moment you walk into the lobby it’s very welcoming and pretty. The staff member who helped me was very nice and informative. She checked us into our room quickly and had good suggestions for dinner. We go to Yosemite every year for 45 years now and this is our first time staying in Oakhurst, we’ll definitely be back.

Hotel was quiet and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Happy that there is a self-service reasonably priced coin-operated laundry machines on site. Breakfast had standard food items (scrambled eggs, potatoes, toast, etc) but I was happy that it was there.
