Reviews of Yosemite Gateway Motel 1 stars

The location is good. Nice to have a little balcony outside the room (shared) with a view of Mono Lake.

The motel is old and not updated. The room was right on a busy street. I would have liked to keep the windows open all night, but couldn't because of neighbors using the shared balcony and the noise.

Great location for direct access to Yosemite high country. 5 minutes to the Tioga Pass Road and the Mobil station (gas/best local food) and 13 miles to the East entrance to Yosemite Park. Wonderful view of Mono Lake - ask for an east-facing room in the back, away from the road. Original facilities are a bit dated but perfectly adequate. Attentive staff.

Nothing.

Bed

Right in town, clean and comfortable.

No fridge

Well kept although it is old. Comfortable beds.

Not much to do in summer and too hot.

Great scenery

Limited restaurants

Clean, nice views, a little crammed but we were outside most of the time.

Brilliant location - just down the road from one of the main roads to the Yosemite East Entrance. Also the food options across the road - including a proper American Diner for breakfast ('Mr Nicely's') and steak/burger restaurant next door - were a real find for a road trip experience. The view from the room at the back was lovely but our room opened right on to the main road. Had we known in advance we would have asked for a room at the back.

Quite basic motel accommodation for the price. It was clean and reasonably comfortable but we would not have particularly wanted to stay more than one night.

Room #12. Great room with view and quiet. Dated but good overall

The staff were so helpful and friendly when we arrived late at night. The bed was very comfortable. Hot water. The best was the surprise view of the lake on the back verandah. The pub across the road is convenient for meals and the store down the road is open till late.

Could do with a fridge and microwave. The coffee needed replenishing on the 2nd day. It was convenient for us with the direction we were coming and going from but it is so still 1 to 2 hours away from Yosemite NP but the most gorgeous drive there.

Great position to go Yosemite. Clean and comfortable

Check in staff could be more friendly and helpful, they weren’t bad but missed the typical kind sparkle that u usually find in USA It wasn’t cheap

Location and staff

Older run down room. Hot with little relief from the fan provided. Too expensive for what you get

Beautiful views

There was no aircon - it was very warm night and the fan did nothing - we had to ask for towels in the bathroom and it was generally very disorganised. There was no fridge for what you pay there really isn’t the value.

The location right along the highway was good and convenient. The view from the room to the lake was stunning. Especially at sunrise. The room was a good size as well. Bathroom was huge.

The bed was dirty, had hair and bits of metal. Whoever cleaned it did a bad job. Also I didn't like that you couldn't lock the door to the room from the inside with the key. That was very unsafe. And the way to go to the room was not friendly for older people or disabled people. Lots of stairs. It would've been preferable if they had a path to the lake and not had machinery right there next to room.
