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.

Great location to Yosemite if not staying in the park. Parking is tight for large vehicles. Several dining options to choose from. Gas is expensive so fill up before you get there.

Room was great for my 3 nites. Parking is a little tight- not sure much can be done abt that. I do wish there was a little table for working on a laptop. Otherwise very satisfied customer!

Clean and comfortable. Quick access to Yosemite. Updated shower with great water pressure. Basic rooms but all you need to get you close to the park entrance!

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.

I must admit I was a little skeptical when I arrived. The motel is obviously very old. We grabbed our key from the bulletin board, no onsite office. Found the room around back, parallel parked in front of the door. Very pleasantly surprised once I went inside. It was updated with a cute kitchenette, nice beds. The bathroom could use more shelves or towel bars. Besides that it was perfect for our stay.

My room's door was 6 inches from the public sidewalk, adjacent to a busy highway, and it did not even close properly. No air-conditioning, no front desk (place is owned by the same people as another motel down the street, so you have to go there for help, which they are unwilling to give). They just put your key on a outdoor wall with your name on it; thatls check in. Not safe!! Don't stay here!!

It was a cute and cozy motel. However the room description did match the room. It was extremely warm and they didn’t have an air conditioner.

Very warm in the summer

A well done refurbishing of an older motel. Had a ceiling fan and an extra fan, but in warm summer weather, they should have a small portable air conditioner in each room.

No A/C

This place was cute and newly remodeled so I had high hopes. Sadly I can't give it a good review because they have no A/C, in the summer! We were in Yosemite camping all weekend and were really looking forward to staying in a nice cool hotel, but it was so hot (especially after showering) that we could hardly sleep. Please be upfront with your customers about not having A/C! We would not have stayed here if that were the case. IF they had A/C I would have rated 4 stars

Don’t let them put you in Room1

They put us in Room #1 - closest to the highway and wow, the trucks going by all night were super loud. Plus the room didn’t have any AC and it was very hot in there and it was super small. They should not be renting this room. The other rooms look nicely decorated and are probably quieter.

No AC

The motel overall was a nice place to stay. It was very clean and has been renovated. The road noise was significant especially since our windows needed to remain open since there was no air conditioning. Our stay was in the middle of July and our room was upwards of 80 degrees when we arrived and very stuffy. It only got worse after showering as there was no bathroom fan. I am 8 months pregnant and we had our one year old with us. After being in the park all day, we were looking forward to a comfortable evening to relax and were surprised to find no air conditioning. It felt much better outside than it did in our room.

Look- This is a quick in/quick out place to stay. No frills, no extras. Getting in with self registration was quick and easy. Getting out was equally so. The room we had did not have shades on the east facing windows so we were in bright light by 5:00 am. Otherwise, it was a place to stay and then move on.
