Super motel juste avant de faire la Tioga Rd. Emplacement idéal. Très bon rapport qualité-prix.

Exactement comme je l'imaginais ! Beau motel en bois au bord de la route principale, face au lac Mono. Accueil sympa. Notre chambre avait vue sur le lac. Lits super confortables, bon système de chauffage dans la salle de bain, idéal quand il commence à faire frais (c'était fin octobre).

Un problème de condensation sur les fenêtres au réveil.

At the entrance to Yosemite and the high Sierra

The motel is located at the perfect location over looking the river near the gates of Yosemite Valley. I was able to park mere feet from my room, which made unloading a sinch. Minus the Semi Truck noise from the roadway, the location was peaceful and quiet.

The room did not have air conditioning, and it was expensive given the minimal amenities that it had. I'm sure this location is more about location so it doesn't really detract from the overall experience.

Quiet and nice view from porch. Good restaurant across street

Nice view of lake from porch

Bathroom was ancient. Shower doors had been removed and shower curtain put up very tacky and no mat for the tub to prevent slipping

Perfection. Can't wait to stay here again.

Everything. The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff was super friendly, and that view is hard to beat. Will stay again!

Nothing. Literally nothing. It was an incredible stay.

Never again

Good location with nice view.

Room had an odd odor and the bed was terrible. I sank right to the bottom and I'm not heavy. Added to that there was a group of guys who returned obviously very drunk and continued the party on the deck. We asked them to be quiet but they kept partying until almost 3am. There is no one at the desk after 9pm so we had zero recourse except the cops I guess.

Very good

Was here for the fall color and fishing. Nice hotel with a decent view of Mono Lake out the back door of the upper floor rooms. Centrally located between Yosemite and Bridgeport, plus good food in town. The room was comfy and clean....it is on the 395 though but is quit at night.

Disappointing

Views were beautiful, and the location is great. Staff was generally very friendly and pleasant, except for an elderly gentleman who appeared to be an owner or manager.

Room was moderately uncomfortable, as the bathroom heater didn't work, and the main one was not sufficient to keep the room warm. The mattress was quite firm. Smoking section is very unfriendly, inconvenient, and uncomfortable. An older gentleman who looked like the owner was kicking rocks off the sidewalk into the rock area at us while we were smoking in the smoking section and seemed to be staring at us in a pretty unwelcoming way. I wouldn't spend more than $100/night for a room like this, so the value was far from good. The construction made it very difficult to maneuver the parking lot.

Good place to rest, but risky place to leave your belongings.

The room was quite comfortable and it is located in the middle of the shops and restaurants, so it is quite well located.

The only bad thing is that you cannot lock your door if you are not in the room, it is just a sliding door with no key and a latch that can only be used from the inside.

Awful. I don’t recommend.

Not much

Being that it was 100 degrees outside, would have been nice to know the room had no A/C. They neighbors were up all night and loud. No privacy on the back porch. Didn’t say anywhere that there was no A/C And little privacy. We had to keep all the doors and windows open so that we could breathe but I was nervous since the neighbor could come look in the porch window and door. just walk in at anytime. And they charged almost $200 it’s was crap!

Poor

The location was great, can’t fault it for that. Staff though I had only a small interaction, seemed friendly enough.

Wi-Fi was non existent! It was super important to have Wi-Fi as I had no way of planning my routes or anything else without it since I’m from the Uk and don’t have access to 3G/4g. The rooms walls must have been made of paper because I could hear every word of the neighbours throughout the whole night. Wardrobe was broke. Shower sprayed everywhere. Aircon was just a fan.

Good location, but will look elsewhere in Lee Vining next time.

Great location close to Eastern Yosemite and nice view out to the east from the decks. Room was clean.

Buyer be careful. No air-conditioning in our room. 80+ degrees and quite stuffy at night. Oscillating fan just did not cut it. I scrolled down the rooms available and booked queen bed room, as usual. Further down was the queen room with A/C, for a different rate that I missed. Just didn't think that rooms did not have A/C these days, especially at $229 per night. My fault. The decks and railings needed work. Major paint peeling and nails separating. I hope the under side of the deck was in better shape than the part I was standing on enjoying the nice view.

Great location. No air con.

The location was perfect to be able to get to the Yosemite National Park. The room we had overlooked the expanse and Mono lake which was nice. Free Wi-Fi and parking was great.

No air con! The receptionist was a bit unwelcoming.

Nice staff, comfortable beds, room was clean but musty smell. Not a great value

Staff were friendly. Beds were comfortable. Microwave and fridge worked well. Did not hear neighbors. View was nice.

Musty smelling room - made me sneeze a lot. The value was not great. Pretty expensive for what we got.
