Yosemite Westgate Lodge

We stayed at this lodge while visiting Yosemite. The room was spacious, and the property has some nice amenities, including a swimming pool and a kids' play area, which families may appreciate. However, there were several inconveniences that future guests should be aware of. The staff were generally not very helpful when it came to providing directions or information about nearby restaurants, stores, or other local services. Drinking water is only available at the office, which closes early in the morning and after 8:00 PM, making it difficult to access water outside office hours. Since many guests use this property as a base for visiting Yosemite, it would be helpful if basic guest needs such as water refills, extra towels, and other supplies were more accessible when the office is closed. Additionally, the nearest gas station and convenience store are approximately 20–30 minutes away, so it's important to plan ahead and stock up on essentials before arriving. The location is also farther from Yosemite than some travelers may expect. The park entrance is about 24 miles away, which took us roughly 30–40 minutes to reach, and Yosemite Village was about an hour away under good traffic conditions. If you're planning multiple trips in and out of the park each day, be prepared for a significant amount of driving. Overall, the property offers large rooms and family-friendly amenities, but guests should plan carefully for supplies, food, and travel time during their stay.

Clean, about and hours drive from Yosemite Valley. Awesome breakfast at Lucky Bucks next door. Great value for the price!

Comfortable, clean, and homey. The staff was very friendly.

Room was clean but had a bad smell couldn’t define what was. Other than that it was a nice affordable room. Around 10-15 min from west entrance of the park. Spacious room. It was a good stay.
