We've stayed there before because it's not only reasonable, but the beds are comfortable and it has all the amenities that meet our needs; microwave, coffee pot, hair dryer, fridge and a place to hang up our clothes.
I didn’t realize there was a pool but the staff was very kind and checked me in, late in the night, with a smile on his face! Room was exceptionally clean. Loved the wood slate blinds and the bed and bedding was comfy.
On a business trip, our owner reports his room was clean and contained what he needed. The bed, however, was uncomfortable. Location was okay and he had a good night's sleep.
Returning guest. The location is right off of the freeway. The parking is easy as you get to park right in front of your room. Staff was still just as friendly and the room was excellent; spacious, clean and comfortable. Just what we needed. Would continue to recommend.
Easy check in. Staff was kind and welcoming. The room itself was also cute and comfortable. The only thing I didn't like was that the ceiling fan was missing the pull string to turn on the fan but it was no big deal, the air conditioner cooled the room off. Would recommend and would stay here again.
The outside of the motel was well manicured. The location was convenient but quiet.
The floors of the room were dusty/dirty and I found myself regularly needed to rinse off my feet.
The gentleman from the office came out late evening to reset my TV. Very helpful!!
Great landscaping. My room was quite even staying right next to a busy freeway.
Air conditioner was great once I figured out the settings.
Room was clean and neat. Staff was nice and air conditioning was perfect. Even though it was a staycation it was so relaxing. And it was safe just like the attendant had stated.
Perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for an affordable stay with many of the room amenities you could think of. Needed a place to stay that was more affordable than the other venues around Yosemite, without compromising on quality and comfort.
Nice clean room, decent bed, air conditioning worked, nice for the price.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It was well situated near the freeway, and check-in was easy. However, there was no water in the room or at the ‘fridges’ near the reception. No ice either despite the offer.
The room is basic: in our case, two beds and a bathroom. I have to admit that I was misled by the name of the hotel which suggested an ‘Inn.’ No bar anywhere in the vacinity
