poor value for the price. Breakfast was a honey bun in plastic wrap. It was across the street from a restaurant. Heard semi-trucks going through town all night. Wouldn't go back. Mike

Nice property and good location
Good location. Updated property. They have initiated a light breakfast that needs to be further refined but since we were not expecting it at the time of arrival it was a nice small surprise. Most members of our group in fact did not use the breakfast and went across the street for more robust options for breakfast food.

We reserved room less than an hour before check in and the hotel had our reservation. But the room assigned to us was already occupied. Staff gave us a better room, so we're not complaining. Something is wrong with the system.

This property was old with some updated features. Bed was comfortable but the room was hot with no A/C. We left the window open and used the fan on high but one window did not open so the air circulation capability was low. We did not sleep well and the motel is on the main street so we could hear traffic with the window open. The patio was shared with the room next door so we did not feel comfortable leaving the door open so air could circulate with strangers able to access the room. We also killed 2 spiders in the room.

Stayed at this motel for a quick night. Primarily used as a stopping point between Reno and Yosemite Park. It was perfect for my needs and check-in/check-out was quick and easy. Parking was a bit tight if you have a truck/SUV, but otherwise it’s fine. Front desk staff was very friendly and got me sorted right away when I arrived. The bed was alright and the bathroom had everything except for body wash. For me, since I was only staying a few hours to sleep before heading into Yosemite, it was perfect. There is a diner across the street that stays open late so that’s nice. There are some gas stations in the area as well if you need to prepare for the long drive into the park. Plan to explore more of the park in the future and will be back as it served all of my needs.

I guess most use this as a transit place to stay after or befor visit to Yosemite. Up front we did not expect much from teh accomonsation but is was surprisingly good; very clean , great staff and a very nice surpise is the complimentary continental breakfast with good coffe, yogurt and fresh fruit that is better than breakfasts at other locations. very nice to sit outside in the morning. The photo's do not do justice to the accomodation. In real life it's nicer.

Very overpriced. It’s an old, runs down, exterior motel, very much deserving of a 2 star rating. Noisy AC, thin worn towels… for $250/night there are better options - keep on searching.

Great little old motel, and great views out the back. But if you are wanting a modern facility this is not for you. It’s more a vintage experience. Some rooms don’t have air conditioning so are quite stuffy when it’s hot. Nice staff.

Friendly staff, very clean rooms, comfortable beds and great view of Mono Lake. We had room 12 and it had a nice balcony. Fortunately there was a room fan and two windows to open as the temps were 108 and no AC. The room cooled down at around 10p.m. If you’re looking and needing AC, you may need to stay elsewhere when the temps are high. Otherwise, a nice stay.
