Unless you are ready to pay very high prices for a hotel within the park, Oakhurst is about as close and affordable as you can get and this place is a good choice. Getting to the park entrance is about 45 minutes, but then be ready to add at least another 90 minutes to reach the visitor center and shuttle stop. The rooms are clean, the shower works and there is a continental breakfast to get you started. There are a half dozen good eating spots within walking distance of the hotel.
