Budget option with good value

The room was clean, and had a comfortable bed. This room was a great deal among more pricey options. If you are visiting Yosemite, you won't be in the room much anyway, so all you need is cleanliness and safety. There was a noisy neighbor, and I had to wait until morning to have staff talk to him.Service is not immediate, so if there is a problem in the middle of the night, it's going to have to wait until morning.

Although its architecture and layout makes it looks like a old seedy motel from the exterior, we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in to what appeared to be a recently renovated room. It even had a fresh paint smell. The furniture, linens, & fixtures are modern and the room was very clean. The bed was comfortable and the ceiling fan made for a good night’s sleep. Within a half block is a good breakfast restaurant, decent but pricy bbq, and a minimart. The town doesn’t have much else to offer but the sunset was gorgeous over mono lake and can be seen from the parking lot. The downsides were the highway noise though traffic greatly diminished between 11pm-7am. (We couldn’t hear the other guests unless they were talking outside the room. )We wish there were EV chargers. Otherwise this motel was a great find. We would stay here again.

Better than expected! Was a good stopover point in our travels, we booked a room without much in the way of cooking and there’s not many good options nearby for groceries or to eat out- but that’s expected in such a quiet area. Would stay again

Clean room and comfortable bed.

The cheapest room was right next to 395. I did not mind noise but morning Sun through pseudo stein glass window was bit anointing. Clean room, comfortable bed.

First time staying here & it was lovely. I would suggest removing the chair from the room (room 6), and maybe reduce the outdoor lighting a bit, but overall a really awesome addition to Lee Vining & I would recommend your hotel.

The remodel of this hotel is great. I stayed here as a child and was sad to see it closed down for awhile. The new owners have done a beautiful job at making things so clean and cozy. I stayed in a room directly next to Highway 395, but even with the traffic there, I slept really well. I did use ear plugs, which helped.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property is very small; seven rooms and six parking spots. It worked out for me because I was always able to find a spot to park. The room is spacious and so is the bathroom. The refrigerator worked great. And there was housekeeping service daily, which I did not expect since Covid and most properties no longer do that daily service. Downside: it would have been nice to know ahead of time that none of the rooms have air conditioning. There was a ceiling fan above the bed and a desk fan on the desk, but it's 2025 and I didn't realize there were still motel properties without AC. Leaving your window open all night means you'll listen to the semi trucks roaring through town all night long.
