Absolutely recommendable hotel for a stay in Yosemite National Park! - Very good location (23 minutes by car to the south entrance of Yosemite National Park), as well as various restaurants, souvenir shops and gas stations within walking distance - The hotel itself is authentically designed both inside and out and therefore fits in very well with the national park - The room was very large and very clean, as well as well and modernly equipped (coffee machine, large refrigerator with separate freezer) - Comfortable large bed - Breakfast typically American, but good (scrambled eggs, cornflakes, toast, jams, fruit, coffee, juice). The plates are now made of cardboard, cutlery etc. made of plastic - Free parking directly in front of the hotel - uncomplicated check-in and check-out

The best place we've stayed on our trip out west. The room was fully accessible, not only with a walk-in shower, but also with a sink that had the proper controls to reach them, a toilet that was the correct height, and a bed that wasn't 10 feet off the ground. As we were leaving, I told my husband that I wished I could take the hotel with us. I recommend this hotel very highly.

On a trip in early April 2024 to California, our plans changed at the last minute so we were spontaneously driving towards Yosemite which was one of our stops. We had no hotel reservations and as we were driving through Oakhurst we saw the Yosemite Southgate hotel and suites. It looked very pleasant so he pulled in to investigate if there was availability for a room. Arriving at the front desk we met a very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful young man named Justice. He was the start of our very pleasant stay. We were doing this before normal check-in time but Justice contacted housekeeping and got permission for us to leave our suitcases in the room. This was reassuring for us to have the security of our possessions not in the car as we were spending the rest of the afternoon sightseeing. When we saw the room to say that we were pleasantly pleased is a great understatement. The room was huge, well appointed and spotlessly clean. I don't know what more you could have asked for in a room. The front desk staff, especially Justice, were so helpful in recommending places to eat and things to see and do. The breakfast in the morning got us off to a very good start for the day. Although the hotel is a little further from Yosemite than other places to stay, we would definitely stay there again and recommend it if you're in the area. This is a great place to stay. We give the staff and the hotel our highest recommendation. Five stars and more stars if we could.

Upon arriving to the hotel. The staff were very welcoming and friendly to the whole group. We were clearly informed about everything the hotel offers from the start. Getting into the rooms, they were surprisingly spacious and were clean. Multiple great pillows were provided which was a big plus. All towels, soaps, and shampoos were available in the room that would easily be usable for multiple days. The complimentary breakfast is delicious and was definitely worth waking up early for. Overall, this location is wayy above commonly high rated hotels found in the cities. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who plans on visiting Yosemite National park or any nearby areas.

This hotel is in a great location and not too far from Yosemite National Park via car.

The room was large and bed comfortable.

However bathroom was far too small, oddly the bathroom sink was in the bedroom I was not a fan. Also room smelt like tobacco.

Breakfast choice was rubbish and did not look appetising. Also breakfast area was tiny and there was not enough space for peak season.

Also a rude male receptionist (do not know name) on Sunday 11th August covering breakfast area at 6:00am barked at us when getting a muffin to take with us to Yosemite National Park, as we did not use tong to pick up muffin and he then proceeded to take whole tray of muffins away and claimed they were contaminated despite only picking up the one we ate. We were astonished by this behaviour and did not think this was an acceptable way to speak to a paying guest.

Would not stay here again and would not recommend to anyone.

This hotel may not look like much from the outside. Thus never judge a book from its cover. Inside it is newly renovated and not just lipstick on a pig. Rooms are big bright and very clean. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Breakfast is included which saves a family $$$. Don’t expect Breakfast at Tiffany’s and you will be good. Scrambled eggs not dried out sausages, big muffins cereal fresh California fruit, yogurt and cereal. Pool is clean warm as is the hot tub.

This quaint hotel was perfect with impeccable staff who went above and beyond to accommodate our family needs that included 3 rooms and one “difficult “ family member. Debbie and her younger staff associate went out of their way to get us all settled into our rooms very early before the normal check in time, which gave us much needed time to relax after a long journey.

The rooms are very spacious and well maintained. The breakfast choices were more than adequate to get our busy days started with a smile. Love this place and definitely would book again!!

The hotel is quiet and especially our room at the rear had no traffic noise at all. There is a pleasant swimming pool with hot tub. The town of Oakhurst has all the necessary amenities. The Oakhurst Grill in particular is a good place to dine.

The hotel is well located near the south entrance to Yosemite Park. The rooms are very large, have two queen-size beds and a very good shower. The internet reception is good.

Next door is a Denny's where you can have dinner at affordable prices.

The breakfast at the hotel is OK. It would be better if the scrambled eggs actually consisted of eggs.

Hotel does not give refunds on bookings AT ALL, even 5 days in advance for medical reasons. I have never run into such a rigid policy at any hotel.
Very stingy. For example, pool towels are handed out 1 at a time at the front desk. This is annoying and seems crazy for a hotel that charges as much per night as this one.
Cleaning products used are really stinky - had to air room out for hours.

We had the free breakfast at the hotel at 6am and left the hotel at 630am and got to the valley. It was already getting busy but parking was straight forward at this time. The buses are recommended rather than driving around (though the buses will be packed) so just park up at the visitor centre and go from there.

If you are visiting on the weekend, plan to use the YARTS bus or one of the tour companies based in Oakhurst. Single car traffic into the valley backs up causing long delays and pollution in the valley. I recommend bussing in, ride the hop on/hop off shuttle around the valley, then bus back to Oakhurst.
