Very good price value ratio for the three of us. The location has everything it needs to stay there for one or a few nights. The building is a bit old but clean and the lady at the front desk building was friendly and helpful. The bath towels were super fluffy and comfortable.

Quaint and rustic. Hour to hour and half from the Yosemite gate but for less than half the cost. Bring your own snacks and waters or plan to stop at a gas station. This is not a fancy place, it is clean and a place to sleep. No breakfast. No restaurant. No vending machines. A bed, a microwave, a 2 cup coffee pot and a fridge. Heat and ac. Minimal water pressure in the shower. Super basic toiletries. But it was a good bed. TV worked. AC made it cozy. Old school booking. You need to call.

Spacious rooms, modern facilities, and a very comfortable bed made our stay excellent. The staff were always ready to help with a smile. The pool area was peaceful and well maintained. We also loved the view from our balcony. Would stay here again without hesitation.

I would give this place a 3.5 out of 5. It’s pretty basic and was available for a reasonable price. The room could use a little work on the walls and door area, and our room smelled faintly of tobacco, but otherwise, the owner was very friendly which is always a bonus, the beds were comfortable, and it’s in a convenient location for anyone stopping around Yosemite. Again, nothing fancy, but it meets most people’s needs and is very convenient price and location wise.

My big brother loved going here when we were kids. I had to stop in and say hi to everyone on my way to Fresno.

Loved it for it's simplicity. It's quiet and so peaceful. About 15 minutes, in either direction, from stores, gas stations and the casino. This just became my favorite place to stay when I visit.

Rooms aren’t “the best” but are fine. Pillows were a little uncomfortable. Other than that place has lots of cats which was nice. The lady that runs the place is super nice. Even though it’s right off the freeway it’s quiet. Bang for your buck
