Great place, close to many sites
This is a great place to stay! It's right in the park and close to many sites if you have a few days to explore. The grill came in very handy for our group of friends. WiFi worked great and every room had a fan. I will say, the beds are a little on the stiff side, but if you bring a cushion top, you'll be fine. Would stay here again.

Yosemite West is a a great location for easy access to Yosemite NP. The property had good WiFi and a nice oven and microwave. It also has great potential. That was the good part. Unfortunately, it is suffering from cummulative neglect. It’s The bugs inside the house, black widow spiders outside, pealing paint, overall lack of cleanliness almost everywhere, as well as broken cabinets, and a busted water faucet were a huge disappointment. Our 24 yr old says the place is fine for a group of young adults looking for easy access to the NP. That may be true but that is not how the place was advertised or propmoited.
