Helpful and friendly staff. Clear instructions for check-in. The room was neat and clean and the bed/bedding was comfortable. The shower was tiny and the hot water didn't last more than about 2 minutes without going cold, then getting hot again. The cafe was convenient and delicious!

The parking is small and tight. As for the room, it's literally a room. The shower was so small every time i turned, I touched the wall. Only thing I can really say is that the bed was really comfy, and the café across from the rooms is delicious. Can't say I'd recommend anyone to stay there.

The motel is very well located in a small, charming town. The property is well maintained, although it is old and that shows in some details. Still, it has a very pleasant and relaxing patio. It’s at a good distance from the park entrance (about 1 hour to Yosemite entrance and 2 hours to Yosemite Valley), which makes it convenient for visiting the area. As a heads-up: check-in is at 3:00 pm, but after 2:00 pm there is no staff on site. If you arrive later, you’ll find the keys on the door along with your room number on a board. For check-out, simply leave the keys on the door.
