Breakfast was included and the buffet spread was nice and waffles much appreciated. Service was on point. Indoor pool can be enjoyed/outdoor option available as well. I picked this locale for its convenience to visit both Bass Lake and Yosemite. There's actually a bus stop to go to Yosemite across the street if you want to avoid the trouble of finding parking, so that's convenient. I tipped the maid and she left me a sweet/professional thank you/welcome note. Again, the cleanliness is what stood out. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Overall, it…read morewas a clean, cozy, and quiet place -- very comfortable for resting after long days in the park. The room felt well-maintained and the atmosphere was peaceful, which I really appreciated. The main downside for me was the breakfast. It was quite limited and not very filling. I don't eat pork at all, and unfortunately there weren't really any alternative options -- mostly just scrambled eggs and very basic items. After a morning hike, it wasn't enough to feel satisfied. Overall, it's a good place to stay for convenience, cleanliness, and comfort, especially if you're planning to spend most of your time in Yosemite. Just don't expect a rich or varied breakfast.

Where to begin? I have been enjoying the restaurant associated with this hotel for many years now…read moreon my visits to the area which is a treasure near Yosemite. The town of Oakhurst is my favorite as it offers great amenities that are the closest to the best entrance to Yosemite in my opinion. Lets start with the food. This is one of the best culinary experiences I have had and it is consistently good. The three course or five course dining service is stellar. These chefs are some of the best in the world and Ive been all over the world. The leadership of Erica is not to be surpassed. She has an incredible calm spirit with a smiling happy crew that provides top notch service with warmth and class. The bartender Jordan is a delight with his great smile and kind eyes. The food experience made me feel like I was being nourished from the inside out not just with nutrition but with love and flavor that was new and revitalizing. This was my first stay at the Chateau Sureau. Oh my heart. I feel that I was healed and restored from a level of stress I dont think I realized I was carrying from our busy crazy noisy world at home. The property is exquisite with old world charm and the perfect patina of age that makes you feel you are in the old country of Paris or Austria or England. The landscape is stunning and it was raining so the fireplaces were roaring and the pines were glistening with silver drops backlit by an incredible sunset. The breakfast service is top notch and the staff is incredibly attentive. You know its good when you know each others names. Thanks to Lorenzo, Sienna, Logan, Jissel and Lori for incredible Chalet guest service. Then, there is the spa. I just had to go since I was feeling like my life was coming back to my ownership again. The Spa is gorgeous. The spa. director Way has been on this property for 20 years. I had the best facial and conversation with her. What a treasure she is. Kim was my massage therapist and she is one of the best I have ever had and my son at home is a therapist as well so I feel qualified to say so. I got to spend my time in the couples massage room which has stunning views, a balcony that looks out from the hot bubbling soaking tub that you get to use after your massage. I had a choice of oils to add and we went with elderberry which is incredible for soft skin. Its absolutely wonderful. The small scale in size lent itself to making connections with other guests that were fantastic and I made friends here while staying that will last! I will be back everytime I am in town. I was here on a rainy weeks end and it added to the magic. I can imagine what it is like in spring when the gorgeous grounds are covered in flowers blooming. I cant wait to see it again then or even next month for the holidays! Some may say there is some aging to the rooms but I say its perfect and if you have traveled to the Old Country in Europe this is part of the actual beauty and experience. Relish it!!

Bro is a wizard of local knowledge even though he said he was on the newer side. Sadly, I didn't catch his name. We were trekking to Yosemite and weren't sure of the best route. He really made our vacation mor3 pleasant. Ironically, we chatted with him seperately. My husband had returned to our room telling me all he'd learned but hadn't checked out. I checked out. I witnessed him assist the people in line befoe me. Bery courteous with thorough answers to all their questions. He listed particular pages on the local magazine to consult in case they didn't remember what he said. He isn't just a front desk attendant. He is is a true consierge. I was really surprised to see this service at Express level. He was easily Crowne Plaza or Intercontinental level. The hotel itself was as to be expected. Clean and easy to navigate.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hampton Inn…read more The room was very nice, clean, comfortable, and accommodating. I especially appreciated having a refrigerator and microwave in the room. I also loved that the air conditioning was already on when we arrived--it made the room feel welcoming and comfortable right away. If you're staying here, I definitely recommend checking out Oakhurst Grill & Whiskey Lounge 41. The steak was delicious! Pandori Express, the Indian restaurant nearby, was also excellent. The continental breakfast was another highlight. The ladies taking care of the breakfast area were absolutely amazing and truly went above and beyond. They worked hard to keep everything clean, organized, and stocked, and they were so attentive to the guests. They really deserve to be recognized for their excellent service. The gentleman who checked us in that morning was also very helpful and provided great customer and suggestions. I would definitely give him five stars as well. I do have a couple of constructive observations that I hope management will take in the spirit intended. In the afternoon, there was a young lady with long hair at the front desk. I didn't get her name, but unfortunately, her customer service came across as though she didn't really want to be there. When you speak with her, she answers the question, but there isn't much eye contact or engagement. There was also no greeting or goodbye. At one point during breakfast, I mentioned to her that the coffee was out. She acknowledged it, but when we were leaving, I checked the same pot and the coffee still had not been refilled. I think some additional customer-service training could be helpful. A simple hello, eye contact, a friendly attitude, and a goodbye can make a big difference in a guest's experience. One other small observation was the bottom of the shower. It had a somewhat dirty appearance. I understand this may be partly due to the type of material or finish used, and I'm not necessarily saying it wasn't cleaned. However, the material seems to hold onto a look that makes the shower floor appear dirty even when it may be clean. It would be great if the hotel could find a better cleaning solution or consider a different finish/material that would eliminate that appearance. Overall, though, I had a good experience. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and accommodating, and I would definitely come back. The breakfast staff and morning front-desk gentleman deserve special recognition for making our stay even better. I'm sharing the positives and the constructive feedback because I think this is a hotel with a lot going for it, and a few small improvements could make the guest experience even better. I would definitely recommend staying here! And the changes this would be a Five Star!

1/5 - Terrible Experience Due to Strong Pet Urine Odor…read more Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing stay. The first room we were given absolutely reeked of pet urine. The smell was so strong that we asked to be moved to another room, hoping it was just an issue with that particular room. Unfortunately, the second room also smelled like pet urine. At that point, we essentially spent the entire night breathing in the odor. Since the hotel windows do not open, there was no way to air out the room or get any fresh air. This is not a smell that can simply be covered up with air freshener or regular cleaning. When pet urine has soaked into carpeting, the carpet and potentially the padding underneath need to be properly treated or replaced. In my opinion, replacing the carpet with a hard-surface flooring such as plank flooring would make a significant difference, especially in a pet-friendly hotel. I understand that hotels allowing pets will occasionally have accidents in rooms, but guests should not be expected to stay in a room that smells strongly of urine--especially after already requesting a room change for the exact same issue. Overall, this was a terrible experience and made it extremely difficult to feel comfortable or enjoy our stay. Unfortunately, based on the condition of both rooms we were given, I would not recommend staying here unless the odor and flooring issues are properly addressed.

Reservations were made in advanced for a standard room with a king bed. Days before I arrived, the hotel upgraded me to a king suite. Claire checked my wife and I in. We were given a nice room on the second floor. The room was large with lots of seating area and a king bed. The bathroom was nice and had a fancy type of shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion. They have a nice gym with treadmills, ellipticals and dumbbells for you to lift. The gym was clean. An ice machine and water dispenser is located in the gym for the entire hotel. Breakfast is served in the morning at the Hemlock Restaurant and Bar. No free breakfast unless you have Marriott status. The Hemlock Restaurant and Bar is open in the evenings for dinner and drinks from 5PM to 9PM. Both my wife and I had the loco moco for breakfast. We both didn't like it, as we've had better. It would be safer to stick with the American favorites like waffles, French toast or bacon (or sausage) with eggs. The restroom downstairs is a modern one with common handwashing stations and individual coed rooms with toilets. The hotel was woefully short staffed during my stay. Claire who checked us in told me she worked a 12 hour shift as a manager left for better opportunities. The evening front desk clerk also worked a 12 hour shift as I saw him at night and in the morning. When they weren't busy checking people in/out, or handling requests from guests, they worked the restaurant with Cole, who was also working by himself. This was a nice hotel for me. It gave me everything that I needed for a quick stay. Although it didn't affect me too much, a few more employees working here would make things better.
