Hotel Lumberjack

10/10 Excellent

"Loves the room and the property but the breakfast, it needs work."

Heritage Inn Yosemite/Sonora

8/10 Good

"Everything was great except that the air conditioning unit was located high on the window and I needed to stand on a chair to read the controls."

Best Western Plus Sonora Oaks Hotel & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"This is a good place to stay when visiting the area and our second time there. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast staff is wonderful. The food is very good and plentiful. They keep everything very clean and the serving area restocked. I even heard the young man giving great tourist advice to an elderly couple. I took off one star because the room type we reserved was unavailable. The desk staff said Expedia had oversold the handicap rooms, so I guess it wasn’t the hotels fault, but it was disappointing."

The Inn on Knowles Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing decor, incredible comfortable bed. The staff is attentive and friendly. But best of all is the incredible delicious breakfast cooked by the proprietor. Not enough words express how delicious and beautifully prepared and presented it all was. Highly recommended."
