Yosemite Inn
A comprehensive list of all the inns in and around Yosemite, including details on their pricing, rooms, facilities, services and amenities.
As with bed and breakfasts, there are no actual inns within the confines of Yosemite National park - the accommodation here is largely hotels, lodges, singular cabins, and campgrounds. You can easily find a Yosemite inn outside the park, though, and there is a vast amount to choose from in the surrounding towns and villages.
For your information, an inn has six guest rooms or more, serves breakfast, and may have a bar open to the public. An inn can have fewer rooms than six but would typically have a bar or tearoom for public use. Bed and breakfasts having more than six rooms are not necessarily inns. There are many bed and breakfasts near Yosemite Valley that may call themselves inns, whereas they are in fact bed and breakfasts, and vice versa. Check out the below list for legitimate Yosemite inns.
