This was our second visit. This time, our mattress was pretty uncomfortable and I really hate those synthetic bedspreads. Everything else was fine. Water pressure in the shower is decent. Location is great and the grounds are charming. Plenty of good dining options nearby, from nice coffee house to very cheffy.

This is a very basic older motel. The blankets are threadbare, the top mount bathroom sink is too tall, and the room is very dark.

We enjoyed the opportunity to stay in a camper! It was nice and clean, but there were some stains on the couch and the twin beds my daughters slept on had a mattress about 3 inches thick, which was a difficult sleep for them. Our pilot light was out 2 days and we had to take cold showers, but it was quickly repaired the next day. All in all, the convenience of the location, being so close to Yosemite's entrance was great. The front office staff was hospitable and accommodating when we had needs, and we enjoyed our time. We would come back, but stay in another cabin or in the lodge and not the camper.

Basic hotel. Quiet if you’re not lakeside. Room was adequate. Two issues from my room: 1. The bathroom sink was super high. The basin was on top of the cabinet and for me was chest high. This made washing my hands or face quite awkward and uncomfortable. 2. No place to charge electronic devices. There was one very loose outlet several feet from the bed, and I had to unplug the coffee pot to charge my phone. Thank goodness I had brought a long cord. I had to charge my camera battery in the bathroom.
