A nice surprise!

Pros: Spacious and comfortable rooms Location surrounded by the forest
Great little hotel situated close to Yosemite and surrounded by great trees and forest. Room was very spacious and super comfortable.Front office staff initially seemed a bit pedantic - like we arrived at 1:30pm but had to wait until 2pm to check in....but redeemed themselves with their friendliness to help when needed. Good value for a short stay.

Great Hotel (Inn) just a few miles from Yosemite

Pros: See above
Cons: Only the signage into the hotel because of the speed of the traffic and the amount of the traffic there whilst we were there.
Location: It was closer to Yosemite than it appeared, which was wonderful. The address is Oakhurst, which is many miles away.
The Inn's staff from the moment we arrived until we left was excellent. The room had a great view over the valley. It was very close to the entrance of Yosemite National Park. We ate breakfast and dinner there which was also excellent. The narrow gauge train that was used for logging in the past is now a tourist attraction...just a few minutes walk down into the valley. Driving up the hill it was easy to turn in to the Inn but coming back from Yosemite not so easy....an extra sign on the road would help drivers to indicate before being on top of the Inn. Many other hotels have a turning lane, but not the Narrow Gauge Inn. That was our only concern. The tourist information they shared was better than the Information places within the park. A great experience overall.
