No A/C! It was super hot when we stayed end of May. Also no hot water in the morning shower. Microwave didn’t work either. It’s a pretty well maintained older property on highway 395 so road noise could be an issue if light sleeper.

Great room. Didn’t have high expectations with it being a hotel in a very small, isolated town but this far exceeded my expectations. The room was very clean, cozy, and in a great spot right next to a cute cafe. Definitely recommend staying here!

The first room they put me had a poor quality interior door for the outside entrance. It was flimsy and the latch on it wasn't even screwed in securely. It was on a back street and I had to park my truck on the street. There was no one there but there was a worn paper on the office door directing me to go to the hotel across the street. I told them I didn’t feel safe and why. It took calling the owner to get a room there. It was minimally better because it was on a main thoroughfare and I propped a chair against the back door.

The property was actually good, but my low rating is because we have been overcharged. If it was rectified without me having to continually hound them, i would not have given such a poor rating, but it is now 2 weeks later, and im still waiting for a correct refund! We have had our visa charged 3 times for a 1 night stay, and they have refunded us for 1 night. Simple maths - they need to refund us for 1 more night. Their response is that they have refunded us. Yes you have - for ONE night. PLEASE REFUND US FOR ONE MORE NIGHT!!! This property was not worth us paying 2 nights charge for one night 😞 and they've tarnished the rest of my holiday by me having to continually chase this mistake up. Like i said, if they rectified the problem quickly, it would not have been a problem, but at this stage, I've written numerous times and have now got expedia investigating and am looking at who i should report it to next....so it definitely was not worth staying here for the ongoing problems i am experiencing

Beautiful room, but…

We stayed in a king comfort room and it was beautifully remodeled and very spacious. However, the mattress was extra firm which may be a bit hard for some travelers as it was for us. There was also a very heavy scent of fragranced fabric softener in the bedding which caused some difficulties with our allergies and asthma. We would recommend that management avoid the use of scented laundry detergent/fabric softener, and consider installing blackout curtains, as the light outside the window comes through the blinds and lights the entire room all night. With a couple of adjustments, this hotel has the potential to be a lovely stay at this price point.

Lovely town!

My family and I were visiting Yosemite and found this motel along the way to spend the night. I was a late arrival and the reception gave me instructions on where I’d find my key after hours. Our room had 2 comfy beds and it was nice and clean.

Bathroom upgrade is good. Bed was comfortable. We were disappointed with the building; we had to go to another hotel to get the key. There was no soap and shampoo and the door did not lock properly. There was a bad smell in the very small room so we slept with the window open. It’s way overpriced! I do not recommend this place at all! You need to be very hard up to stay here. Staff is nice but seemed really surprised that we booked there.

Good effort has been put in to offer brand spanking new fixtures, furniture and remodeled rooms. Let's be clear: Lee Vining is not a bustling metropolis, and the remodeling of our motel room was as good as could be expected for its age and location (being graded on an extreme curve for being in the middle of absolutely nowhere!!). Since there are so very few lodgings in this area of California, our motel was comfortable, adequate, clean and new. We could quibble over minor design and construction choices (shower curtain rod hung with curve "upward" instead of "outward" making shower curtain too short, bathroom mirror hung too low, space where a mini fridge might have gone is empty...), it still was warm and cozy. I hesitate to give this 5 stars just because it is the best available in the area, but I wouldn't want to give other visitors the impression that this is much more than a motel room. It serves its purpose well, as a place to stay for a night while exploring the incredible surroundings of highway 395 and we are grateful for the option to stay here.

Convenient and nice place in Lee Vining.

It was easy to check in and they were prompt with any requests. They are in the process of renovating, but there was minimal noise and it was good to see the improvements to the property. Bed and bedding were new and nice.
