Very good

This property is just outside the South Entrance to Yosemite. We checked in to the hotel and went to see the Giant Sequoia’s, which were about 10 minutes from the property inside the South Entrance. Then we spent the whole next day hiking Yosemite. On check out day, we sat comfortably on our balcony and watched an amazing sunrise. We really liked being outside the park and away from everyone. The hotel has a restaurant/bar attached to the hotel, which was so convenient after a long day in the park. The hotel, restaurant, and bar staff were very friendly and helpful. This is a GREAT place to stay, eat, and drink.

The shower was small, shower head was too high to spray correctly. Very little table space.
We have stayed here multiple times on our way in to Yosemite. It is nothing fancy, but the grounds are peaceful and beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful.
Very clean and comfortable room with nice view. Just outside Yosemite south entrance was so convenient. Railroad rides and horseback riding so easy to access. Very nice staff. Only negative was the pool area in disrepair and pool not swimmable due to low water level, no filtration.
Perfect spot to stay when visiting Yosemite. Staff was wonderful. Food in the restaurant superb. Room was clean, quaint and had a nice porch to relax with a drink after a day sightseeing. Would definitely recommend!
I had a great stay at the Narrow Gauge Inn! The room was very clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view that made mornings especially enjoyable. Parking was super easy, and the location is hard to beat — just about 2 miles from the south entrance of Yosemite, which made accessing the park incredibly convenient.
One of the highlights is the nearby train depot and scenic ride, which adds a unique charm to the area. The on-site restaurant has a wonderful historic atmosphere and looks fantastic, though the food itself was just okay.
Overall, a great place to stay if you’re visiting Yosemite — clean, convenient, and full of character.
Absolutely delightful place! Stumbled on it while driving in Yosemite and needed a break from camping and this little gem came up and couldn’t be happier! Amazing staff and they have a great restaurant on sight. One stop place for relaxation! The bed is so comfortable and the surroundings are beautiful. There’s a train ride just steps away that’s been on property for years! Super comfortable and easy!
Service was great... but the room was smaller than expected and the shower was way too small. The restaurant was great as well...great service, very nice ppl...they had the best margarita ever.
Staff was friendly, but the place needs a major overhaul. I'm by no means a hotel snob, but I do want to feel comfortable in a clean environment. The shower was miserable. Would have to turn it on full hot, then out of nowhere it would turn ice cold then hot again. When you opened shower door, the mold from under the door would greet you as you stepped out. AC window unit would not stay on as if the thermostat was registering off outdoor temps instead of inside Carpet was gross. They had rags to clean up pet accidents in the rooms; which made me concerned for what was on the carpet. The corner of the bed were hidden and sharp. Both my husband and myself hurt ourselves running into them. Location was great however. It just needs a good cleaning, a plumber, an AC guy and vinyl flooring.
