My friend and I stayed in Room 8&9. The rooms were clean, the bed comfortably and quiet! I enjoyed staying there very much!

1 night stay, the hotel was old, more of the original style motel where you park your car in front of your room, very small, bed was good

Nice quick stay

One night stay before heading to Yosemite. Clean and comfortable. Wasn’t sure how to get key before arriving but key was in an envelope by the front.
Lora, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean, recently remodeled but still fun and funky. We stayed in the back rooms away from the main road so we didn’t have the hwy noise

Enjoyed our stay!

Great stay! Located conveniently outside Yosemite. Room was very comfortable and was all we needed for our short stay. Nice restaurants in the area. Rooms are located right by the road so there will be a bit of road noise at night. Only real complaint was the shower had no hot water. Other than that it was a good place to stay for the night.

Clean and simple

Clean and simple for a quick over night before heading up to Yosemite NP. Bathroom have been nicely updated for an older property. Beds were comfortable. No AC but each room had a fan and as soon as the sun sets temps drop quick to cool off the room. Check-in/out was easy.

Convenient and nice place in Lee Vining.

It was easy to check in and they were prompt with any requests. They are in the process of renovating, but there was minimal noise and it was good to see the improvements to the property. Bed and bedding were new and nice.

Lovely town!

My family and I were visiting Yosemite and found this motel along the way to spend the night. I was a late arrival and the reception gave me instructions on where I’d find my key after hours. Our room had 2 comfy beds and it was nice and clean.

Best reno in Lee Vining

The staff let us check in early and that was a godsend! Really nice people, effective, quick and so pleasant. We have tried two other places in Lee Vining and were frankly disappointed by both. This place has been renovated and is clean and well kept. It's not a place that has tried to make new with old stuff like we often see. It was a complete overhaul. So it feels good.

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a nice place to stay for an overnight visit, but it's quite close to the street, so there can be noise from traffic.
Hongyi, 1-night trip

The property is under renovation, but the room was clean and comfortable. The staff extremely friendly.

Perfect location for travelling in park. clean room and bathroom. We had everything we needed (silverware, bowls..) and loved it. So far the best accomodation in our trip through us national parks. Will come back. Thank you
Aneta, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful room, but…

We stayed in a king comfort room and it was beautifully remodeled and very spacious. However, the mattress was extra firm which may be a bit hard for some travelers as it was for us. There was also a very heavy scent of fragranced fabric softener in the bedding which caused some difficulties with our allergies and asthma. We would recommend that management avoid the use of scented laundry detergent/fabric softener, and consider installing blackout curtains, as the light outside the window comes through the blinds and lights the entire room all night. With a couple of adjustments, this hotel has the potential to be a lovely stay at this price point.
Lisa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not worth the money

Room with overwhelming smell of lemon fragrance. Very bright lights outside room at night. WiFi wasn’t working.
Jamie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bathroom upgrade is good. Bed was comfortable. We were disappointed with the building; we had to go to another hotel to get the key. There was no soap and shampoo and the door did not lock properly. There was a bad smell in the very small room so we slept with the window open. It’s way overpriced! I do not recommend this place at all! You need to be very hard up to stay here. Staff is nice but seemed really surprised that we booked there.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a small motel right off 395 in Lee Vining. The rooms were recently redone. It is not fancey but very clean, warm and convenient. I appreciated the small coffee maker so I could make more than just one cup before I left in the morning. And the fridge had a small freezer so I could refreeze my ice packs. I would stay there again.
