You really need to look at a Cal map. http://tinyurl.com/7uu843s
One way to Yosemite Valley - coming in through the east side/Tigoa Pass to Tuoloumne Meadows - is going up the 395 on the east side of the Sierras - and that usually means going through Death Valley on the way over, but you could take the Interstate (freway/motorway/autobahn) I-15 and head north at either 395 or further over at Bakersfield.
Actually - going the I-15 - over to Bakersfield - you could continue west a bit and then on up Intersate 5 to SF - or at Bakersfield - go up the 99 - to Fresno - which is a jumping off point for entering Yo from the west side - or you can keep on driving into SF if you wanted to.
It's all up to you as to which way to go, how early to leave - where to stop that evening, etc.

I know y'all have gotten off of the topic of parking at this point but I found a great website with parking maps with prices for the lots. It is a great way to get a lot of info in one place.

It even has photos of the parking lots and an estimate for your cost if you put in which hours you will be parked.

That's a WAAAAY better idea, Juliano. And no you don't really need a car in SF - as has been said many times over, parking in the City is often very hard to find or very expensive.
But that Mission Inn hotel - that's a real dive, as we call them here. I wouldn't feel safe there, and I'd be pretty worried about the cleanliness as well (in addition to bed bugs). Consider using the savings on the car rental to stay somewhere better. The Mosser really is a very nice place for the money - I've stayed there twice for weekend trips to SF.

Why don't you find a place out of town a bit, along the BART line? Go to www.booking.com, put in San Francisco and expand your search to include places a few miles away. You're bound to find free parking out of the city.
