Stumbled on this little gem thanks to Expedia. Was just a single night, family of 4, heading to Yosemite. Owners have done a wonderful job renovating this older motel. Beds and bedding extremely comfortable.Nice large bathroom. Ceiling fan in main room. And there is smthng to be said for being able to back up your car trunk right to your room door. Only thing I didn’t like was that all lighting was ceiling (ceiling fan and can lights); no desk or sconce by nightstand. Otherwise, so happy with it we returned after Yosemite en route to our next destination. This hotel is a great rest and recovery stop after wilderness camping and roughing it outdoors

This place was surprisingly good and very clean. I read the same reviews prior to booking and true enough, this place is highly rated for a reason. We also accidentally booked the wrong night and the owner graciously allowed us to change the check-in date without hassle or service fees. Much appreciated, thank you so much! We will stay here again in the near future.

This place was clean, renovated, and the staff were very friendly. Batteries in smoke alarm and remote were dead. Property owner fixed smoke alarm, but the it was late and we didn’t want to wake him to also update the batteries in the remote. Otherwise, I’d stay again.

This property was excellent. Very clean, beds comfortable (loved the blanket) and updated. My only less positive experience was that no one was at the front desk to check us in and we were out by the front door waiting for around 10 minutes. We were tired, hot, hungry and needed showers. Also we could not adjust the temperature on the ac so it was pretty cold. But since we had adequate covers we slept well.
