Nice modern budget hotel. We used it as a base for visiting Yosemite.
Be aware that most towns closer to Yosemite do not have the facilities of Oakhurst.
Great to have access to washing machines. They are well utilised by all travellers. You can get coins and washing powder at the hotel.

Emplacement excellent pour visiter le parc national de Yosemite — vraiment pratique si vous cherchez un point de chute à proximité.
L’accueil, en revanche, n’a rien d’exceptionnel.
Le personnel est correct mais sans chaleur particulière.
Le petit déjeuner est typiquement américain, très basique et sans rien d’exceptionnel non plus.
Côté chambre, la literie est bonne, ce qui rend le séjour acceptable pour une nuit. Cependant, une forte odeur désagréable se dégageait de la chambre et elle ne disparaît qu’après avoir laissé tourner la climatisation pendant un moment.
Enfin, un point vraiment problématique : le parking est affiché comme payant (12 USD/nuit), mais nous n’avons rien payé — et à en juger par les autres clients, personne ne le fait.
Si jamais on vous demande de le payer, ne le faites pas et garez‑vous ailleurs : il est totalement aberrant de facturer un parking extérieur dans une si petite ville.
