Review of Oakhurst Lodge
1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jun 11, 2019
The photos are deceiving. Rooms are dark and grotty. Main door didnt shut properly and didnt feel secure at all, fridge sounds like an old tractor, shower doesnt look like it's ever been cleaned. Have to wash hands in the kitchen sink as there is no hand basin in the bathroom. The pool looks like a green mosquito breeding ground and there was a brown stain already in my bed. Charming. The staff are nice and friendly though.

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.

A simple lodge ..but quite large numbers......a place to stay for access to Yosemite. The room was clean but towels an off white .......the pool was green in colour so no thought of using. The breakfast area quite small but continental breakfast reasonable. Very near to a great Italian restaurant. Desk staff friendly.

Room tip: A room up the back to be away from main road traffic

Stayed there for 3 nights and was not really happy with the place. Here are some issues I have with it.
First off rhe toilet does not flush well. Then the bath towels were gray not white. The water pressure in the shower was so low it was trickling not spraying.
Second the room is dated and things were worn out like there is no knob on the cabinet. There were breaks on the walls. The bed has a hole and the pillows are lumpy.
So I cant recommend this place. On the other hand, the staff they have are great. Wish they do something quick because they already have a great foundation, the staff.

We enjoyed our stay here. Oakhurst Lodge is a smaller scale hotel designed for people who are generally going to be active during the day. It does not have a ton of amenities, but the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. The continental breakfast is also good. If you are traveling with dogs, as we were, this is a good place to stay as they have lots of places to walk your dogs. Rooms are a little old, but clean and comfortable. Some of the reviews on here are critical if the age of the property, but personally I like that the place has character. Would recommend this to anyone staying in Oakhurst and/or on their way to Yosemite.

This lodge is conveniently located in central oakhurst. They have nice clean rooms and a friendly staff, which is rare in that town! We had a late check in and the innkeeper was very friendly and helpful.
