Liked: Cleanliness
We had a "Senior" suite, I believe. It was nice and clean but a little cramped for table space. Beds were really great! Best motel bed yet. The plates and bowls were a fail though. They are plastic and can't be used in the microwave. It even says "do not use in microwave" on the bottom of them. Please replace with ceramics. Very interested to see how the front restoration turns out.

Comfortable beds and room.

The room was WONDERFUL! Nice large room with comfortable beds. Parking was the only downside. We had to park on the street, but it was still close to the room. You can hear the truck noise but it wasn't bad. Would definitely stay there again.

The motel room was very clean, but located right next to the highway was very loud. Got a little chilly and could not figure out how to turn the heat on. Located a short walk for coffee and breakfast in the morning.

Good stay on our way out of Yosemite

This place was really small - only few rooms, but booked solid that day. The rooms are very small so not a lot of space to spread out our luggage. There was also no one at the reception and our keys were left in an envelope outside the reception. It worked and the bed was comfy, so overall a good stay.
