Stayed here one nt before Yosemite and it was so clean, comfy and convenient, that we ended up staying here another single nt after Yosemite heading on to our next stop. The beds were extremely comfortable. Loved that we could just pull up and back our car right up to our door. Bsthroom was huge annd had a small window (great for venting). Only thing didnt like was it was ceiling can lights and no nightstand or sconce lights. I like bright lighting but not can lights at bed time. Covered Porch area infront of room doors was nice with new tile. Wouldve been nice to have chairs out there to sit outside. But otherwise, absolutely a great room for a great price and convenient to hwy.

Nice managers/owners and the room was clean and efficient although somewhat small. Only real complaint was the shower, water flow was very small. But overall a good experience
