This was the cutest and best place I’ve stayed at. Very affordable and worth the money. They are about 32 miles from Yosemite and the little town is walkable and fun. I recommend this place to everyone. They have a really cool museum also. I know I’ll be back for sure.

The air conditioning unit was ridiculously loud, making it hard to both keep the room cool and also sleep. Also the window in the bathroom and on the front of the unit didn’t lock. Finally, there were bugs in our room. Would not recommend.

Clean remodeled room. Never saw a staff member the hole time I was there. Love this little old mining town. Best and cheapest place to eat is place called the Hideout Saloon. Exit Mother Lode Lodge and go right. turn right at gas station. Small sign on the left. Down stairs. Friendly staff.

This little boutique motel was a terrific spot to stay on our way to Yosemite. The owners are on site and always working on upgrades and cleanliness. The pool was very large , deep and the perfect temperature for swimming. We would recommend a stay here to anyone. Shops and restaurants are walking distance away
