Such a charming little hotel. Loved the keys being on the wall and not having to check in or out with a person. We stayed in a room on the backside and never heard a sound from outside or the people in other rooms. The room had new carpet, bedding was nice, and the room was clean. Towels were so fresh, not like the big chains. Loved staying here, would stay again!!

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.
