This is a small motel right off 395 in Lee Vining. The rooms were recently redone. It is not fancey but very clean, warm and convenient. I appreciated the small coffee maker so I could make more than just one cup before I left in the morning. And the fridge had a small freezer so I could refreeze my ice packs. I would stay there again.

Spacious rooms. Clean, well maintained and good room amenities. Really nice drip coffee maker in room. Dislikes: Next to a noisy busy road with trucks all night. Amazing coffee machine but the cheap plastic cups provided can melt if you put hot drink in them.

Newly renovated. Still needed the door to be redone so it wouldn’t drag on the new carpet and fit well in the frame. Nice beds and shower. It was quieter than expected as it is on the highway. No noise from other rooms

It’s a nice place to stay for an overnight visit, but it's quite close to the street, so there can be noise from traffic.

Convenient location

Upon arrival, I initially was rather concerned that the front office was closed, and that I had to go across the street to the Yosemite Gateway Hotel to check in, and back across the street to my room once I had received the room keys. But that was the only hiccup with my reservation. The location is convenient and is within walking distance of cafes and eateries. The rooms are clean and have been remodeled. The drop box for keys outside the front office is convenient for check-out.

It is very adequate for an overnight stay while visiting Yosemite national Park. Small rooms but newly remodeled.
