A pretty old property but very clean, good bed, the staff was friendly and welcoming. No frills but good rate and the tv worked so the hubz could watch Monday night football.

This is your typical motel room: no frills, just adequate which was what we wanted The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was surprisingly no road noise. Check in was easy and the hotel owner was very solicitous.

This is a no frills motel, which is fine. But it's weird that there were only three pillows in a king bed and only two towels for two guests. Space was clean and parking was fine but overall vibe was def on the spartan side.

Midweek stay: larger room with plenty of room for suitcases. Economical price. Friendly check-in. Good water pressure.
Cons: 3 teens and/or early 20s men hanging out in parking lot for hours laughing, slamming doors, and more which made it impossible to sleep.

Room was clean, though there were visible handprints and hairs on the bed. Area around motel seems to be under construction. Staff was very friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Support the American dream
Modest old American motel, but nicely refurbished with new floors and facilities. Pleasant hard working proprietors. Clean and comfortable. No corporate presence, two thumbs up.

Breve sosta prima di Yosemite
Camere spaziose, letti comodi pulito quanto basta, facilmente accessibile ottimo punto a metà strada per raggiungere il parco di Yosemite.
