Dirty and disgusting.

This was a last minute booking decision. I was first booked into a room downstairs. This room was livable, although not nice enough for the price. The next day, I was moved into an upstairs room - the carpet was dirty and impossible to clean, the shower curtain had mold growing on it, and the overall situation...a dump. Overpriced dump.

It is located in a good location. The room has most all i need , except a suitcase table.this s a small room, but it works. Air conditioning works well, a tad loud, but keeps it cool. The refridgerator door kept popping open, so i had to put the suitcase in front.the front desk was friendly and engaging. I would stay here again.

Good location

Motel is very close to the road so there's lots of road noise in the morning and at night until just after midnight. Air conditioner does a pretty good job of drowning it out though. The front desk staff is extremely friendly. They seem to be in the process of updating the rooms. Bathroom vanity and tile floor are new, bed and headboard are new and is very comfortable. We used this motel as a home base for checking out Yosemite and King's Canyon/Sequoia National Park for 3 days. It's in a great location for getting out of town to go to the parks, and is also close to Walmart, Costco and several restaurants. Shower curtain and black stains on the bottom and the walls/ceiling could use some updating/paint. Certainly not a 5-star hotel, but we had a great sleep each night.
