Quality Inn Yosemite Valley Gateway

Quality Inn Yosemite Valley Gateway

8/10 Good
"The only negative I would say would be the low toilet in the room, as it was difficult for a slightly disabled member of my family. The staff was friendly and gave helpful information and the rooms were clean. The pool was not super cold, despite it being nighttime. There was plenty of parking and there are a few nearby restaurants."
