Old but kind of cute. The staff were very nice and helpful and the new management's continental breakfast appreciated. Across the street from a deadly gift store and delightful cafe. Loved the view of Mono Lake (which we visited, very very interesting ecotour!) and the stream below. Star off for the iffy plumbing but very clean. Good for Yosemite visit.

We loved our view room. It was situated right at the edge of the highway but that side didn't have any windows so we thankfully didn't hear traffic while trying to sleep. Sadly a loud motorcycle and truck parked right near our room's entry left before dawn, waking us up far too early. The only negatives were the ridiculously meager breakfast (better to not offer one at all) and the old shower fixtures etc. We had plenty of hot water and pressure was good too. Mattresses were great! There's a great breakfast option across the street - go there instead!

Nice property and good location
Good location. Updated property. They have initiated a light breakfast that needs to be further refined but since we were not expecting it at the time of arrival it was a nice small surprise. Most members of our group in fact did not use the breakfast and went across the street for more robust options for breakfast food.

We reserved room less than an hour before check in and the hotel had our reservation. But the room assigned to us was already occupied. Staff gave us a better room, so we're not complaining. Something is wrong with the system.

Close to Yosemite.
Lovely view from the room. Very nice check in experience. Room was clean and spacious. No Air conditioning but the temperature was pleasant and we left the door open with the screen.

Great location in a great place
It was fine great location. A basic motel that has been cleaned up. Cantal breakfast was not worth eating. Staff was very nice.
