I booked this last minute. I appreciated that a room was available. Parking was on a different floor than my room, but there is no elevator so I had to drag my stuff up and down the stairs. Young man at the front desk was very nice.

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.
