Cute motel!

Such a cute little motel! My room was very clean and cosy. Great communication from the property owners. Cute cafe onsite although it wasn’t open during my stay. The town itself is adorable. Lots of great restaurants. I ate at the Bbq place next door which was incredible after a day hiking in Yosemite and I also ate at the farm to table diner. I’d definitely stay here again.

We weren’t sure on driving up, but liked the spacious room and quiet. Within easy walking distance of a BBQ place, tap house, and ice cream shop :) Had a very nice patio area to enjoy in the evening, and a coffee shop on site (but not open Sun/Mon). Would definitely stay here again!

Couldn’t find our room at first and called the number on the wall for assistance about 3 times and nobody answered. Don’t like having our last name on the outside board for all to see and to know what room we are in. Very unsafe! Room was dirty and cobwebs all over ceiling.

Great location! Laborday weekend Sunday- Monday! Downtown safe all that great! Cons- staff didn’t pick phone calls or return messages. Hot water stopped for shower after 5 min max- noisy room from plumbing piping who knows - old building decently clean with tiny shower. It was a single room! Unfortunately, not a good night rest due to the noise from the pipes and other appliances in the room.

Room needs freshening up..

Room needs fresh paint job and detailed cleaning to make it more pleasant to sleep in. Layout of two bed room had odd layout with no divider to allow for privacy in bedrooms. With no ceiling light in the bedroom, the low wattage bedside lamps made it impossible to read anything. Bathroom wall and floor needed deep cleaning and re grouting.Black growth around bathtub molding was present. There was a coffee shop in complex and other eateries within walking distance of inn.

Historic Hotel

This property is historic therefore bring your patience. The hotel was built in the 1940s and you can tell by everything being small. What is Really nice is the outside sitting area. Grab a book out of the room and a cappuccino from the coffee shop. If you need handicap accessable then this hotel is not for you. The coffee shop also has light food menu.

This is a quaint inn, with apartment like rooms. We encountered no staff onsite but were given directions on how to check in on our own. Rooms were a bit warm when we arrived, no AC had been running.

Outstanding service and accommodation

Cool little inn on a quiet street. The owner was very accommodating and responsive. They had to scramble to find us a crib as they had none left when we checked in. She was super sweet and was able to locate one in town for us to use during our stay. Outstanding service and ability to accommodate us. Really went above and beyond. The room was nice and spacious. Bed and pillows were comfortable. The only thing I'd say is the bathroom could use a little more attention when cleaning. Overall it was a great stay for our trip to Yosemite!

The room is vintage and well maintained. I love the decorations in the room. However we discovered a few ants under the coffee machine and in the bathroom. The water stream of the hand wash tap was very small. The location is good with ice cream shop and supermarket.

We really enjoyed our stay. The check in was easy, we got there around 6:30 and our room assignment was on the board and key in the door, no staff to check us in. The bed was super comfortable and the room was clean. The shower was a little small and the door did need to an extra push/pull to close but these weren’t any bother to us. The AC worked great. We loved coffee at Sticks and heard it was the best in town. The town was cute, everyone was nice and we enjoyed the restaurants in town. Great stay for our trip to Yosemite!

Suite #1 is nice and spacious. The bed to the right is less creaky. It was difficult to get the water to a comfortable temperature in the shower. When we got back from dinner, the parking lot was full, and no one answered our or messages to help us find a safe place to park.
