This hotel serves as an excellent base for exploring Yosemite, with easy access to the park and a peaceful atmosphere away from the crowds. The facilities are enjoyable, with two pools and beautiful grounds, but the breakfast could be improved in variety and quality. It's a bit pricey, but considering the location and amenities, it offers good value for those looking to experience Yosemite without staying in the Valley.

The breakfast was adequate but not exceptional; there was a long queue in the morning, and while it had some hot dishes, the variety could benefit from more options beyond the essentials.

This hotel is a decent choice for those visiting the area, especially if you're heading to Yosemite National Park. The rooms are generally comfortable, and the outdoor space is a nice touch. However, I found the dining experience lacking due to a somewhat disorganized breakfast setup, and the service could use some improvement in politeness. Overall, it provides reasonable value with some room for enhancement.

The hotel is a lovely spot just outside Yosemite, with beautiful landscaping and a clean environment. Our room was spacious and comfortable, allowing us to enjoy our meals on the balcony and appreciate the outdoor facilities like the pool and grassy areas. However, the breakfast options were quite minimal and could use some improvement. The location requires some driving to get to the park, but the importance of a well-rounded stay remained unquestioned.

The Best Western Plus Yosemite Gateway is a charming hotel with beautiful grounds, making it a peaceful retreat. The service from the staff was outstanding, and the breakfast options were delicious and varied. However, the beds could be improved for more comfort, and the noise from the bathroom fan was distracting at times. Overall, it’s a great place to stay for exploring Yosemite National Park and the surrounding area.
