Nice place and convenient to good restaurant across the street and central to area attractions. Would stay there again except that the beds in our room were horribly uncomfortable. Awoke every morning with bad back ache. Not worth the pain.

This is a classic old motel in a quaint little town just outside Yosemite’s Tioga entrance. Room was clean and just what we needed for the night. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who isn’t a hotel snob.
