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. The staffs were super helpful and quick to respond to inquiries before, during, and after my stay. All check in information were relayed efficiently prior to my arrival so my super late self-check-in experience was breezy. I also asked for assistance to complete my payment prior to my arrival and I was helped by at least 2 different people. Despite this, communication was super smooth and all staffs were both friendly and helpful. This greatly helped reduce my travel planning stress. After I left, I didn't realize that I left my sweater but the staff contacted me right away and offered to ship it to me (for a fee). This was definitely above and beyond, so thank you so so so much!
