The bed was comfortable. We were in room one which was one room away from Highway 395. We listen to trucks all night long. It was not a good night sleep.

Good stay on our way out of Yosemite

This place was really small - only few rooms, but booked solid that day. The rooms are very small so not a lot of space to spread out our luggage. There was also no one at the reception and our keys were left in an envelope outside the reception. It worked and the bed was comfy, so overall a good stay.

Great Jumping-off Spot for Yosemite

Older motel but well maintained. Comfortable room with microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker. Earplugs were also provided because the motel is right on the highway. All the arrangements were made electronically so I never made human contact with anyone, but everything went well and we had no issues (there was a way to contact someone if needed). The only shortcoming for this location is parking; we ended up parking in front in what ordinarily would have been the place to park while checking in; it turns out that is a parking space now.

Check in/out was a little weird. We never interacted with anyone for our one night stay. Key with instructions were in an envelope with my name on it on a clipboard. So anyone could have taken any envelope. Drop off was putting a key in an unsecured mailbox. The location was the best part of the stay with convenience to Yosemite. If you’re just looking to rest your head for the night, it will do the job.

This property has a lot to offer despite its outside appearance and some oddities with check in. There is no onsite office. Our room key was on a clip board in an envelope with our name on it tagged to the side of the building with other folks in the same location. The room however was very clean and looks like it had a recent make over. It had a nice counter area with a refrigerator and microwave. It was in a quiet location within easy walking of the local shops and the Mono Lake Association. The area was quiet and felt safe. There are no amenities that I am aware of but given other options in the area this one worked for us. My partner did not love the TV choices and was a bit frustrated by the lack of channels.

Motel was acceptable but a bit expensive for the lack of amenities. Looks updated. Bed was comfortable. Bit odd with the wall heater not working but there was a portable A/C heater unit. Cute touches in room.

The motel room was very clean, but located right next to the highway was very loud. Got a little chilly and could not figure out how to turn the heat on. Located a short walk for coffee and breakfast in the morning.

This hotel was super clean and cute. (Thank you Maria.) The beds were comfortable. The sink is not in the bathroom which is a little uncomfortable with brushing your teeth with friends. The worst thing about our stay was no heat!!! And it was down in the 40's with rain. We froze. The pilot light had not been lit yet we guessed. And being right on the highway it is super loud with traffic. They do have ear plugs if needed. I am sure the few hotels on that highway are like that.
