I would suggest Discover Yosemite OR Yosemite Valley Floor Tour
Some of the best accommodation options near Yosemite National Park include The Ahwahnee, Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite, and Yosemite Valley Lodge. These lodges offer a range of amenities and proximity to the park's attractions.
Sequoia groves, endangered flora and fauna, and the geographical features are all protected in Yosemite. Examples of endangered animals in Yosemite include the Sierra wolverine and the Sierra Nevada Red Fox.
The best one to use is the International Airport in Fresno, California. Consider the Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite as there are free shuttle busses to the best local attractions and they have other amenities like free parking, spas and Room service.
There are an abundance of activities to do in Yosemite National Park, much more than just three. If I were to choose three of the best activities, it would be hiking the trails around the park, horseback riding, and going for a dip in the river in the valley.

They are on the opposite ends of the Sierra. Sequoia is above Visalia and Yosemite is above Fresno. Depending on where you are starting from the time frame is different. Let's say you are starting from Fresno to Yosemite by car. The drive up there will take you about 2 hours. It is a little over 100 miles from Fresno to Yosemite. Yosemite has a bus line you can catch from Fresno, but I am not sure where you catch it. One way to see Yosemite is to do two days. You could drive to the Bass Lake area, stay overnight and have dinner at Ducy's on the Lake and then go into the park the next day. If you are planning on camping on the floor of the valley you need to make reservations. Sequoia is about the same distance from Visalia, but Visalia is approx 50-60 miles south of Fresno. Your best bet is to take a day and go to Visalia and then drive up to the Sequoia big trees and see the General Grant. I am pretty sure there is a bus that will take you there from Visalia. Visalia is a fairly large city in the south valley so there is a lot to do and major hotels to stay. Visit the downtown section that is full of coffee houses and little shops. On weekend nights there are some live bands that play in the outdoor cafes and coffee houses. I live about 20 miles from Visalia and am a native of Fresno so that is how I know all of this. I have worked in Yosemite as well.
The best place to look for information on Yosemite National Park lodging would be to go to the National Park Service website. There you should be able to locate Yosemite Park and any lodging information.
