Stayed here with family because my mom said she use to enjoy coming here 15-20 years ago. I wasn't really sure, but relented. Our trip was really to go to Yosemite, so it was actually quite a drive (an hour) from the hotel). The hotel itself have very strict protocols when it comes to COVID. They take your temperature before you come in, as well as have to show your ID before you enter the elevator taking you to your room. The good? 1) The hotel room itself was comfortable with the needed amenities. It was clean, and the AC worked well. 2) Wifi was good 3) Nice views. The bad? 1) the check-in process. It really took forever. Not sure of the check-in person was inexperienced or what, but waiting for 30 minutes was not cool at all. 2) the security at the elevator checking your IDs. The security was very rude to a point that when I said hi or thank you, she didn't even acknowledge. I think she was just in a bad mood. She asked for my ID, and as I was fumbling with my luggages, she appeared impatient. When I showed her my ID, she said, ”put it down so I can see it”. I'm like whoa, this better be not a hotel staff. The other security guards were good. But I will not forget this particular one. 3) The smoke filled ******. And yes, you can't escape it, but it was so nauseating that I decided not to gamble.and head back to my room - hoping and praying it's not the rude security guard. 4) the restaurant. The Mexican place I wanted to eat at was not only closed, but with my elderly/handicapped mom walking from the hotel to the restaurant, it was a challenge. Not seeing any signs, we wasted our time walking there. It was closed. The Asian Noodle place next to it was good, but the wait was over an hour. The ugly? I would not come back to this place just because of that security guard. Gosh, she was really in a bad mood. That's the ugliest thing ever.

WIFI can not be used, asked the front desk, said that the equipment is faulty, and no one will manage it after two days. Breakfast is just like bread, waffles, coffee, and even ham and eggs.

I reviewed this Motel on Tripadvisor due to the rate and reviews I felt confident staying at this facility. As a result of my stay, 23 May-25 May I no longer have confidence in Tripadvisor. On the front door of Oakhurst Lodge is a Tripadvisor decal. At check-in I inquired about a booking fee I was charged at the Oakhurst Lodge website. This had never occurred before when using Tripadvisor. I asked the location of the ice machine, only at this time I was told there was no functioning ice machine. Due to ants and a stale smoke odor, in a non-smoking, room I was provided another room. The room had frayed carpeting, paint spots over areas on the walls and where the lavatory counter was repaired, bathroom door was damaged from something hitting it. The outside chairs provided for the room were stained, upholstery torn with exposed foam padding. The picture of room posted on Tripadvisor gives someone considering booking this lodging a FALSE impression. One positive for Oakhurst lodge the bathroom except the window sill, lavatory, microwave, mini refrigerator and bed linens were clean. The beds linens were clean. The beds did not appear as nice as the picture displayed on Tripadvisor. I did share my concerns and that I would be writing a review about my stay with the recommendation to others to NOT stay here. The front desk person was polite and seemed receptive to my concerns. There are other places to stay in Oakhurst that provide better breakfast, a workout room, larger, better maintain rooms for about $10.00/night more. Beware of the Oakhurst Lodge.

rooms were big. pool was big and clean. Breakfast was ok, but breakfast room VERY SMALL and overcrowded. good location before heading down to Yosemite, approx 1.5 hr to Yosemite valley. Lots of stores and restaurants nearby

It was a nice experience. The food was really good at the restaurant and the service even better. It was obviously fully booked since it is the highest season for the surroundings, but that didn’t affected the good service and attitude of the staff. We were very satisfied!

The room is nice, cozy & clean plus the fact that it is affordable. We loved the sauna. Front desk staff & the one assigned in breakfast are friendly too. They are very accommodating. The only comment I have in the room is the round chair in front of the dresser, it’s not sturdy enough to sit on it.

This was a last minute stay and we struggled to find a room available. I’m so glad there was availability here. Our stay was comfortable, the rooms were clean, the mattress is firm, and the service was friendly. What more could we ask? The morning breakfast is simple; bagels, toast, oatmeal and Starbucks coffee. My only complaints are the soap bar felt like I was using chalk and the towels are scratchy. There is also no elevator. All in all, I would definitely recommend.

The location of the hotel is far from Yosemite Park, about an hour's drive away. The hotel facilities are relatively new, clean and comfortable, the service staff is very good, and there are many types of breakfast. Compared with the accommodation near the park, the price performance ratio is higher
