We enjoyed our stay at Yosemite Westgate Lodge. The location is excellent, just outside the Big Oak Flat entrance, making it super convenient for exploring the park. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with everything we needed after long days in Yosemite. The pool and hot tub were a great bonus, and the nearby restaurant made meals easy. Overall, a solid choice for comfort and location

We loved staying at Westgate Lodge. It was quiet and relaxing especially after having visited the busy park. We loved the location, pool, hot tub, corn hole, picnic tables,and the restaurant next door. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again and have already recommended it to friends and family.
