We were so pleasantly surprised with this Best Western! The hotel itself was charming, especially in the way the buildings and rooms were laid out. Oakhurst is a great Gateway town for Yosemite, if you are heading to Mariposa or into the park. Room was nice and clean, staff was very polite.

This Best Western is charming. The pools and hot tubs were clean and relaxing. The free breakfast was amazing and the restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Large dining area, great selection of food and excellent service. The only gripe is the bar area is too small and if you just wanted to have a drink and relax you had to sit at the tiny bar and if no space was available, no drink for you.
