FHOP Tip: The town of Oakhurst, California, is just about as close as you can get to the border of Yosemite National Park. However, many attractions in Yosemite are likely a lot further away than you may think. The drive from Oakhurst to the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center will take you an hour and a half – and that’s with no traffic. Make sure to plan accordingly.
Lobby
The lobby welcomes guests with a modern ambiance, comfortable (but not too comfortable) seating, and well-lit front desk area.
Front Desk & Check-In
Marriott Bonvoy Loyalty Program Benefits
Marriott Bonvoy benefits are mostly negligible at Fairfield Inn properties. But that’s OK, because this brand serves complimentary breakfast.
