Set in Ahwahnee, 34 km from Yosemite South Entrance, Sierra Meadows offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool and a garden. Offering free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking hotel has a hot tub. Our cabin was beautiful and equipped with every comfort, with a small outdoor patio where you could relax to the sounds of nature. The parking is right next to the cabin, and the shared bathrooms were always impeccably clean and well-equipped. The pool, located about ten minutes from the center of the site, is nestled in nature on an old, unused golf course where nature has reclaimed its space. While taking a walk through the meadows, we saw deer and other wildlife. It was truly a great experience. Not too far from Yosemite, it's a wonderful place to spend a few days immersed in nature.

Surrounded by a forest, Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite features a heated outdoor pool, and children's playground. The accommodation features two hot tubs. Yosemite's Highway 120 West entrance is 0.8 km away. Glad we splurged on this stay. Staff were great, 24hour pool and hot tub were a great addition. It was our anniversary and they gave us a free drinks voucher which was lovely. About 45 minute drive to Yosemite falls and cheaper than staying in the valley.

Featuring free WiFi and an outdoor pool, the Royal Copenhagen Inn offers accommodation in the heart of downtown Solvang, 45 km from Santa Barbara. Guests can enjoy the free continental breakfast at the property. A great inn! The room was quiet but the inn is in the centre of the town. The room was very clean and big and we enjoyed the swimming pool and the mini golf. The staff were nice and it was a great stay. We even got a “pack and play” with no charge The breakfast is served to your room and limited but we knew it in advance and the price was still cheaper than other inns with no breakfast at all
