I booked this last minute. I appreciated that a room was available. Parking was on a different floor than my room, but there is no elevator so I had to drag my stuff up and down the stairs. Young man at the front desk was very nice.

This is a classic old motel in a quaint little town just outside Yosemite’s Tioga entrance. Room was clean and just what we needed for the night. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who isn’t a hotel snob.

Close to Yosemite.
Lovely view from the room. Very nice check in experience. Room was clean and spacious. No Air conditioning but the temperature was pleasant and we left the door open with the screen.

We went for a girls weekend to chase fall foliage and hike. The location is prime outside of yosemite tioga pass and conveniently located driving to all Eastern Sierra hiking spots. It looks like they recently renovated the room. We stayed in room 17 and it had newer carpets in the room and LVP in the bathroom. Had a mini fridge and microwave that was clean and worked which was nice. The view in the back was gorgeous of Mono Lake. I will definitely be staying here in the future.
