Nice quick stay
One night stay before heading to Yosemite. Clean and comfortable. Wasn’t sure how to get key before arriving but key was in an envelope by the front.

Very warm in the summer
A well done refurbishing of an older motel. Had a ceiling fan and an extra fan, but in warm summer weather, they should have a small portable air conditioner in each room.

Enjoyed our stay!
Great stay! Located conveniently outside Yosemite. Room was very comfortable and was all we needed for our short stay. Nice restaurants in the area. Rooms are located right by the road so there will be a bit of road noise at night. Only real complaint was the shower had no hot water. Other than that it was a good place to stay for the night.

Clean and simple
Clean and simple for a quick over night before heading up to Yosemite NP. Bathroom have been nicely updated for an older property. Beds were comfortable. No AC but each room had a fan and as soon as the sun sets temps drop quick to cool off the room. Check-in/out was easy.

Decent Stay
The property is fine if you are looking a quick overnight stay on 395 next to Yosemite park exit. The pictures show common areas and coffee and other amenities which is truly not available.
The room was not air conditioned and also did not have a ceiling fan; the provided tower fan didn’t serve the purpose on a hot summer night.

Convenient and nice place in Lee Vining.
It was easy to check in and they were prompt with any requests. They are in the process of renovating, but there was minimal noise and it was good to see the improvements to the property. Bed and bedding were new and nice.

Lovely town!
My family and I were visiting Yosemite and found this motel along the way to spend the night. I was a late arrival and the reception gave me instructions on where I’d find my key after hours. Our room had 2 comfy beds and it was nice and clean.

Best reno in Lee Vining
The staff let us check in early and that was a godsend! Really nice people, effective, quick and so pleasant. We have tried two other places in Lee Vining and were frankly disappointed by both. This place has been renovated and is clean and well kept. It's not a place that has tried to make new with old stuff like we often see. It was a complete overhaul. So it feels good.

Don’t let them put you in Room1
They put us in Room #1 - closest to the highway and wow, the trucks going by all night were super loud. Plus the room didn’t have any AC and it was very hot in there and it was super small. They should not be renting this room. The other rooms look nicely decorated and are probably quieter.

It’s a nice place to stay for an overnight visit, but it's quite close to the street, so there can be noise from traffic.

No A/C
This place was cute and newly remodeled so I had high hopes. Sadly I can't give it a good review because they have no A/C, in the summer! We were in Yosemite camping all weekend and were really looking forward to staying in a nice cool hotel, but it was so hot (especially after showering) that we could hardly sleep. Please be upfront with your customers about not having A/C! We would not have stayed here if that were the case. IF they had A/C I would have rated 4 stars

No AC
The motel overall was a nice place to stay. It was very clean and has been renovated. The road noise was significant especially since our windows needed to remain open since there was no air conditioning. Our stay was in the middle of July and our room was upwards of 80 degrees when we arrived and very stuffy. It only got worse after showering as there was no bathroom fan. I am 8 months pregnant and we had our one year old with us. After being in the park all day, we were looking forward to a comfortable evening to relax and were surprised to find no air conditioning. It felt much better outside than it did in our room.
