I've stayed at this motel more than a few times due to its proximity to Yosemite National Park and haven't had any complaints. This time, however, the room I got had a super high bathroom sink...a huge above-counter sink sat on the regular height counter and that made using the sink very difficult for a short person. I had to bring out the stepping stool I happened to have in my car in order to wash my face at the sink. I know this is not the case in other rooms I have stayed, so if you are a relatively short person (shorter than 6'), I'd recommend asking for a room without this type of sink.

I loved the little cottages. It was great to have a kitchen to prepare meals. All to often it's not the case or something doesn't work right if there is a kitchen. We have a lot of food allergies and can almost never go out to eat, so a kitchen is a necessities .I also loved a wonderful area to just relax after all our walking all day.The recliners were so great.
