Not a bad little place and a good price. Wish there was a few more hangers in the bathroom for towels, and wish beds were a bit softer, but fine beyond that!

Enjoyed our stay!

Great stay! Located conveniently outside Yosemite. Room was very comfortable and was all we needed for our short stay. Nice restaurants in the area. Rooms are located right by the road so there will be a bit of road noise at night. Only real complaint was the shower had no hot water. Other than that it was a good place to stay for the night.

This is a modest little motel, still being remodeled. It's right on 395 so lots of trucks coming by early in the morning. The room was fine and the bathroom good. The cleaning products they use have a very strong smell and lingered throughout the night. Glad it was clean but the smell gave me a headache. If you want cheap and don't mind traffic and cleaning products, it's a fine place to stay.

Unfortunately, no air conditioner and it was hot at night. Opening the windows will let the noise in. But it was a nice place to stay overall

No A/C! It was super hot when we stayed end of May. Also no hot water in the morning shower. Microwave didn’t work either. It’s a pretty well maintained older property on highway 395 so road noise could be an issue if light sleeper.

Great room. Didn’t have high expectations with it being a hotel in a very small, isolated town but this far exceeded my expectations. The room was very clean, cozy, and in a great spot right next to a cute cafe. Definitely recommend staying here!
