This inn was a great stay! I had 4 people in my party, and we felt comfortable in our room. The staff was friendly, the facilities were clean, and the kids annoyed the pool. Definitely recommend this location for anyone using this location to get to Yosemite National Park.

Do not recommend
Bedding was stained with something yellow and some blood, stains on the walls, and garbage under the bed. The beds were horrible and only slightly better than laying in the floor. There is no closet or anywhere to hang clothing. Breakfast was very meager and since we didn't get down there until 630am there was not much of what was there left. We have stayed at literally hundreds of hotels all across this country and this one was by far the most overpriced, dirty, and uncomfortable one we have ever stayed at. Would never stay here again and next time will just rent an Airbnb . This hotel is more than busy enough the owners could invest into their own business with new beds and bedding. The app will not allow me to upload pictures of the bedding to this review or I would gladly share them.

Great cheap (most hotels in area are more expensive) option for going to Yosemite! The room was very clean and beds were pretty comfy. Shower had great water pressure and no issues getting hot water. Room size was also huge. Front desk receptionist, Sven, was super super helpful especially since we got in late. Parking lot in the back was big enough we never had issues finding a spot. Breakfast was very rudimentary but enough for bagels/cereal/yogurt/coffee. Only cons would be rooms are a little outdated. The rooms are definitely not sound proof but with earplugs you couldn’t hear anything. You could hear people walking above/outside your room. But definitely would come back and stay here for the cheap price! I will say it takes approx 1hr and 15mins to get to Yosemite park. Wasn’t horrible but still a decent drive.

It’s a fair deal
This is a no thrills hotel. Perfect for sleeping and moving on. Our beds were comfortable, the A/C worked, the TV worked, the clean shower and clean towels were good too. Don’t expect room service or a deluxe breakfast though. I’d definitely stay here again. The location is good and the staff was friendly.

If you are planning on visiting Yosemite the drive from the hotel is about 45 mins, roads at night are dark. The hotel provides breakfast and ice tea, fruit juice, water all day long which is always appreciated. We stayed on the first floor and it had a particular smell, overall our stay was comfortable.

Staff seemed indifferent to issues we encountered. They were unresponsive to requests to address problems and generally seemed unmotivated and unhappy. The facility, rooms and pool, were generally good and provided a good starting point for Yosemite explorations.
