We stayed here to get into Yosemite Valley, but didn't want to rough it in a campsite in the park itself. The hotel was a good location, approx one hour from the Valley. Hotel was comfortable. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but there is one next door. The other option is Groveland, about 15 minutes away. While the... More

Came straight from Sequoia NP to this location. Drive in was an 11 out of 10 on the danger scale. Not for the faint at heart. Finally made it to ABVI. Was pleasantly surprised at how clean the hotel was inside and out. Not a Hyatt or Marriott by any stretch, but compared to other sites passed on the road... More

Ideal if you don't appreciate living in cabins within the park or want to spend a fortune at one of the on-site hotels. Not luxurious by any means but typical, clean standard motel rooms. It is in a quiet, isolated location about an hour from the main valley sites at Yosemite. Quite dark inside the rooms, but otherwise all the... More

Good clean hotel in a location good to visit Hetch Hetchy which was our goal after a day in Yosemite Valley. Location is really remote, but that's why you're going to Yosemite, right? The restaurant next door is the only option, but a good option. I would stay here again.

Stayed three nights. The Good: Location - about an hour from the Yosemite Valley Visitor Centre; Clean room, nice bed, clean bathroom and shower. The Bad. No breakfast provided, and only one option within 10 miles (Buck Meadows restaurant next door). The Ugly. The price was very expensive for what you get.

it is true that this hotel is only 20 minutes far from NP West gate Entrance but what they do not tell you is that there is nothing to do there... you have to drive at least 1h to get to Yosemite Valley where all the trails and activity start! It is expensive compare to what you can get inside... More

We only stayed here for a short period of time but the hotel met all of our needs. We checked in very late, after 10pm and the office was closed, but after using the phone outside the office we were greeted by a very friendly staff member. Our room was very spacious and clean. It's a great place to stay... More

Spent six nights at the Westgate while exploring Yosemite. Found the on-site owners to be very accommodating and friendly and the room/bathroom to be exceptionally clean and decently equipped. The mini-fridge was handy to keep some food items cold and allowed us to make our own lunches to take hiking. Arrived back at the room every day to find it... More

If you can't get reservations inside Yosemite National Park, Yosemite Westgate Lodge is a good alternative. Though not fancy, the accomodations are clean, comfortable, and quiet. It appeared that the motel had recently been renovated. We stayed in room 306 which was spacious and quiet. We had what we needed - microwave, fridge, table, and comfortable beds. The lodge is...
