Queens Inn by the river was a gem. The room space was very large and accommodating. The snacks and coffee provided were amazing. The town was beautiful with lots of shops and places to explore. We wished we had stayed while the restaurant and winery were open, but perhaps next time. We would definitely visit again, Queens Inn by the river was awesome!

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you did not see information about the restaurant which is also operated under the same ownership as the Inn. Expedia only allows business' to list what "amenities" are available on site for the Inn. As for the fireplace, we apologize it stopped working during your stay. Unfortunately, they require an actual technician to make repairs. Thank you for staying with us, we hope to serve you again.

Great stay! We checked in late afternoon and they had a clear check in process. The cabin we stayed in was clean and cozy, it took a little while to heat up with the window heating unit but by the time we got back from dinner it was warm. The property is safe and quiet, we didn’t make it to the wine bar but ate dinner at the restaurant and the short walk to dinner and back was really nice after a long day in Yosemite. Would definitely stay again if in Oakhurst!

Good -------- - There was a nice view from the patio of the hills leading up from the stream. - The staff were well organized and were reasonable when I changed the reservation from a room with a single bed vs one with two beds about an hour after the original reservation. They did not charge a cancellation fee. I got the run around from Expedia for something so simple even after the Expedia rep called my personal cell uninvited to guarantee to me that there would be no service charge. -Take the hotel's advice and book directly and avoid the bots! -internet speed was good, Dish for TV. So so --------- The beds were basic wood frame. Not the softest but fit the motif. The lobby is open about half-time. There is bagged ice and refrigerator in the room and a drop box for the key.

Disappointed, won't return
This stay left a lot to be desired for, because of the ratings I expected better. We paid for a river view, but they forgot the river. Whoever cleans is not doing their job, the floor was filthy, cobwebs in the bathroom corners, the jetted tub was dirty too. There's also no phone in the room, so if you need something I guess you're just supposed to go wondering the grounds till you find someone.. the office has random times, even though their open sign is up, no one will be in the office. I had to give our key to the cleaning guy. The bed for adult time was SQUEAKY! There's no getting around what you're doing on that thing. Parking sucks if you have anything bigger than a fiat. They have a nice little u bend where the rooms are and parking spots right in front, those should be for the hotel guests, but they're not! It's general parking all over, so our truck got stuck in that little lot because of their live music on the weekends.. which you have to pay to get into. People park both ways all along the narrow street, blocking everyone from getting in or out. I was also told in an email that we would get 2 complimentary wine tastings, of course we didn't. After seeing the area for myself, we won't be staying at this place again, especially not for what you get for the price.

This property was so clean and beautiful. Honestly it was serene I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody. The owner and his partner were incredibly polite and helpful and even gave me advice on places to visit within Yosemite. Didn’t even really feel like a hotel honestly felt like a home away from home to me.

Thumbs up!
We stayed at this inn early in June 2023. We initially stayed in a room but were moved because of a small issue into one of their newer cabins. The cabins are slightly smaller than the rooms, but very attractive.

Comfy peaceful cabin, great wines
Lovely little place. All the info in the room was great. Lots of little places for storage Clean and compact. Huge bed. Had to take a sheet off cos it was rough to sleep in. Effective air conditioning and heating. Tv was great. Signage on the road was terrible, we went down a private road but found it eventually when coming from the other direction. Couldn't get a taxi easily and restaurants/ bars weren't easy to walk to cos there wasn't a footpath so we ended up driving. The winery was great. We went at the start of May so the inn bit wasn't open during the week which was a shame.

Our room was comfortable, lovely and spacious, and the private patio with a table and chairs was a nice touch. We had our coffee out there every morning even though it was frosty outside. The views were worth it. The first night, our heat did not work, and neither did the fireplace. The next morning we were moved to another room, and between the heat and the fireplace we were toasty warm for the rest of our stay. (Staff offered to move us that night, but we were exhausted from traveling.) Overall, if you want quiet and convenience to town and Yosemite, the Queen's Inn is an excellent choice.

Overall this is a very convenient property to take your dog and go into Yosemite. Our first day was XMas eve and they served a great meal. However when the bill came there was nothing labeled tax to double for the tip. We just had a great meal in kind dark room and the waitress/owner was standing over us to pay the bill. Well I needed a tip so I used my cell phone calculator with her standing over me to calculate the tip. When I got back to the room and realized the tip for three people (wife myself and 13 year old child) had been included In the bill I was pissed. She should of told me it was included. In the end it was 260.00 for the three of us. I was the only one drinking alcohol and had three drinks! The service was great but felt I was burned on her not saying the tip was included!
Response from Queen's Inn Staff on 23 Jan 2023
Thank you for the candid feedback. Our apologies that you were surprised by the meal cost as the pricing was listed at the very top of the menu. Also, apologies if you felt the staff was "standing over you". Over the course of our restaurant service, we have found that more often than not, guests have questions on how to navigate the device. So rather than leave our guests in limbo with the device, we have chosen to stand table side should they have questions.

Wonderful hidden gem. The cabin was absolutely perfect and so was the wine tasting and the restaurant. I had a chocolate dessert with olive oil that was surprisingly delicious. The river behind the rooms was beautiful and peaceful. The whole experience was great. Many unexpected little touches in a tranquil setting with friendly people.
