Set in Ahwahnee, 34 km from Yosemite South Entrance, Sierra Meadows offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool and a garden. Offering free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking hotel has a hot tub. The staffs were super helpful and quick to respond to inquiries before, during, and after my stay. All check in information were relayed efficiently prior to my arrival so my super late self-check-in experience was breezy. I also asked for assistance to complete my payment prior to my arrival and I was helped by at least 2 different people. Despite this, communication was super smooth and all staffs were both friendly and helpful. This greatly helped reduce my travel planning stress. After I left, I didn't realize that I left my sweater but the staff contacted me right away and offered to ship it to me (for a fee). This was definitely above and beyond, so thank you so so so much!

Offering mountain views, Morning Star Vista near Yosemite - countryside with mountain views is an accommodation located in Mariposa, 47 km from Yosemite South Entrance and 50 km from Yosemite Arch Rock Entrance. The homestay provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. We had a wonderful stay ☺️. The location was great as a base for visiting Yosemite, around 1 hour by car from the entrance of the park. Margaret and Charlie were exceptional hosts who made us feel right at home. Their warm welcome and helpful tips on what to see in Yosemite made our visit even more enjoyable. The room and bathroom were spotless, clean and spacious. The bed especially was super comfortable after a long day of hiking. Having traveled much around the world, this stay offered some of the best value and hospitality we’ve ever experienced. We would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to the Yosemite area!

Situated within 30 km of University Of California, Davis and less than 1 km of Sacramento Convention Center, IreneHouse Victorian INN features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Sacramento. It is set 1.9 km from Sacramento Valley Station and offers full-day security. Featuring a private entrance, the apartment allows guests to maintain their privacy. I had to delay my check-in due to my child being sick, and Kari was incredibly prompt and helpful in resolving the issue. The room was very clean, and although the bedroom faces the street, it was surprisingly quiet. This is a very safe neighborhood, with a park right across the street. It's also very close to the old town center and perfect for walking, with street parking available. The house is well-equipped with various amenities, making our stay very convenient and comfortable. We had a wonderful experience staying in this charming Victorian-style home—many thanks to the host!
