The dirtiest motel, grime all over,awefull expereince, run down and ready to close. I was worried for bugs, two outlets did not work, the linen was old, the staff was OK, but you would think they could clean, just not a place for family...great for street people, but not families. Not even my dog would sleep on the floor.

I hate to give a poor review to a place that seems to really be struggling to stay open in this tough economy, but they earned it. The staff was relatively pleasant, but the room was not cleaned prior to arrival, and it took them 45 minutes to find a working vacuum. There weren't any bugs or anything, and the... More

It was the only cheap place available not too far from Yosemite. The place is not as bad as the reviews say. It's not great, that's right but we stayed two nights there and it was ok. The bed is good, although the sheets were slightly stained. The bathroom was clean and the towels very good. Be aware you can't... More

And GREAT towels! ended up here on the advice of a AAA tow driver after dropping off the car at a nearby mechanic. It was very late and this was a welcome haven. Yes, it's old and I did feel the need to put a chair under the door because of being right on a main road and some seedy... More

Small hotel that has seen better days, but was very clean and quiet. Don't count on breakfast - a few sweet rolls and coffee, not even a toaster - but an acceptable stopover if you're passing through. Staff are friendly and efficient.

I considered myself lucky to be able to get a reservation at this motel beings all the other motels were booked. I've read other reviews about the conditions of the rooms, so was wondering if I'd experience the same horror stories. The people working there were very friendly. The rooms are obviously sub-basic, but was clean with fresh paint. I... More

Sad as this used to be a great place but now looking like they are sucking cash and not fixing. 3 years now the pool is filled with trash and totally dry. The jacuzzi is half filled with rotting black water and big biting bugs are swarming. My room was so smelly I had to sleep with the door open.... More

In the middle of the night a vibration noise woke us up, we called the front desk after waiting for the noise to stop, the attendant stated that it 's the dryer, he stopped it but it didn 't help, he later found out that it was a loose water pipe hitting the wall from the vibration, I asked for...
