Booking in at lunchtime we expected the Days Inn at Oakhurst to be of a decent standard accepted the price of $132, because prices do seem to be higher the closer you get to National Parks, dropped our bags off and not being overly impressed with the room we decided to look somewhere else for another 2 nights.

The room which was on the top floor at the front. was entered from a car park up a hill at the back. It had dormer windows, tatty curtains and although clean the bathroom was really small with a loose tile the a/c was noisy and there was a lot of noise from the road in the early morning.

Definately not worth the cash paid for it, we got a much better down the road for $71 and stayed 2 nights.

We came across this hotel thru the Tourist Information advertising across road. We paid $135 pn with AAA discount. Lady in wheelchair at hotel, was great with information on Yosemite NP and recommended a tour. We had a private guide who was just magnificent and a wealth of knowledge. Rooms were clean and comfy. Continental Breaky served in small room near office was included in the price.

All the places to stay in Oakhurst are quite expensive, given its proximity to Yosemite National Park about 13-14 miles away. We hoped that Days Inn would be the best room for the price. Overall, we were not disappointed. The room was immaculately clean, fairly large, and the beds were very comfortable. The receptionist at the desk was very friendly and helpful. One of us misplaced a key to the room, and she gave her another one without problem. However, given that we wanted to see birds and other wildlife at Yosemite, we were gone from the hotel well before breakfast was served at 7 AM. In my view, breakfast should have been served at least an hour earlier, to accommodate guests who wanted to get the most out of the park, which is at its best in early morning.

We came late (21.00) and had because of that reason a room for 279 USD . Because we were tired we accepted the price.

Next day our body was under red irritated bumps. When we started to investigate the room we discovered a lot of little red bugs. When we pulled the sheets off the beds, we saw old dried blood stains. Probably from previous guests.

So we left the room in a hurry. When we informed the receptionist, she was not even surprised. She indicated that the room would be cleaned soon.
