    Image of the Tripadvisor rating basic motel close to Yosemite

    Very basic Motel, no frills, pretty run down. But close to Yosemite, location is great, only a few miles from the park. AC is super loud, bath fan is super loud. Had a full kitchen and fridge. WIll rpob look for other places, but not a lot of choices close to the park

    Pros: an easy 25 minutes drive from the entrance to Yosemite National Park, large modern room with good lighting, king size bed, table with two chairs, fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Cons: disinterested staff, no coat hangers until we asked (three old plastic ones found in a box at reception), no room servicing during your stay unless you go… Read more
    Pros: an easy 25 minutes drive from the entrance to Yosemite National Park, large modern room with good lighting, king size bed, table with two chairs, fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Cons: disinterested staff, no coat hangers until we asked (three old plastic ones found in a box at reception), no room servicing during your stay unless you go ask for fresh towels and take out your own trash, no guest laundry unless you drive seven miles to the sister Yosemite View Lodge and a bathroom light that turns itself on as soon as you walk into the room even in the middle of the night (a bandaid over the sensor stops it). Oh and drawers that didn't stay closed and an empty shower gel dispenser so we showered in shampoo. Pretty poor given the prices and not even a discount for a multi-night stay. Not coming back.

    Wow! Thank you Tony and staff for a wonderful weekend. We held a small elopement wedding in Yosemite and reserved our guest rooms and the recreation room for our family gatherings. We hired an outside caterer and the weekend turned out fabulous. The rooms were spacious, clean, quiet and comfy. We loved the recreation room's midcentury retro feel and decorated for the wedding weekend. The outside pool/hot tub were a bonus in the beautiful weather. The staff was responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. The drive to Yosemite chapel was 35 minutes without gate traffic. It is an affordable and wonderful option for a wedding weekend in Yosemite. Thank you again! The Gonzales & Hughes Family Read less

    This was a motel, basic rooms. Clean. Electrics were a little worrying. TV fuzzy. Dinner options were basic burger/diner style. Breakfast much the same but they didn’t have milk for tea or coffee. Biggest and best value margaritas I’ve ever had. Perfect location for Yosemite

    On est sur une offre de motel classique. Les bâtiments et utilités sont vétustes et nécessiteraient un bon coup de modernisation. Le restaurant est en quelques sorte obligatoire dans la mesure où il n'y a rien d'autre aux alentours. La cuisine y est tres grasse. Seul point positif est l'emplacement proche de l'entrée du yosemite Park.
