It’s a roadside beautiful property, but we didn’t realize it until the next day as we were leaving given the rooms allocated to us were not in the best part of property. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Kumiko

I've stayed at this motel more than a few times due to its proximity to Yosemite National Park and haven't had any complaints. This time, however, the room I got had a super high bathroom sink...a huge above-counter sink sat on the regular height counter and that made using the sink very difficult for a short person. I had to bring out the stepping stool I happened to have in my car in order to wash my face at the sink. I know this is not the case in other rooms I have stayed, so if you are a relatively short person (shorter than 6'), I'd recommend asking for a room without this type of sink.

I loved the little cottages. It was great to have a kitchen to prepare meals. All to often it's not the case or something doesn't work right if there is a kitchen. We have a lot of food allergies and can almost never go out to eat, so a kitchen is a necessities .I also loved a wonderful area to just relax after all our walking all day.The recliners were so great.
