I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is coming to or from Yosemite! I came from Yosemite and I was unsure if I would make the check-in times since I was coming in later than their posted check-in times but they were able to accommodate me for self check-in and I was able to follow all the instructions smoothly! There is assigned parking in front of your room which is super convenient as well. What I loved was that they gave a personal phone number that you can call or text if you had any questions which was super useful! The rooms were absolutely beautiful. I got a 2 queen bedroom and the pictures made it look old but the rooms have been remodeled to hardwood floors and look very modern. The beds are super comfy and the room had a refrigerator, coffee machine, and small table. I also came during Christmas time and all the decorations were SOOO CUTE! I loved it all! I appreciate all the lights! It made me really feel the holiday spirit! :)

The only thing that bothered me was the fact that our walls are a little thin and you can hear neighboring rooms but that is not too much of a problem at night! The bathroom was a bit cramped but it wasn't that much of a bother either.

Location centrally on the main street with the accommodation set towards the rear of the plot so less traffic noise. Modern fittings and furnishings, good sized fridge and microwave.

Never actually saw any staff for check in or check out. Not overly impressed with the procedure for check in. Office unmanned in the afternoon so room key left in an envelope on a notice board outside visible from sidewalk. Pretty obvious to anyone walking by what all the envelopes contained doesn't seem for great security 🤔

The room was clean with freshly laundered sheets, you can smell it. The towels were pristine. Great location when visiting the Yosemite Valley. YARTS bus just outside the hotel.

We came way too early on the bus but they don't have a luggage storage but the owner Lisa was happy for us to keep them at the pool area where the gate can be closed.

I loved the ease of communication and a personal touch with the owners, very cute. Everything was fine, the town looks nice and inviting. There is a nice laundromat there as well, and of course a bank, various diners, restaurants. We only stayed here one night. I liked the beds.

In case it helps others, I’m a light sleeper and used ear plugs due to a/c being louder.

We booked a last minute trip to Yosemite and stayed here with 2 couples and 3 kids. 3br apartment was perfect for us. Great space, so nice to have the kitchen and living space and essentially as close as you can get to the park without paying exorbitant rates. Responsive management to any issues we had.

Parking our minivan was a bit challenging, but by day 2, we figured out how to maneuver to our parking spot!

I like the motel and the location itself. It’s seem original like the old days, especially the room…so clean and very comfortable. I look forward to stay there again when ever we come back to visit the Yosemite park . Thank you 🙏!!!

I have no complaints at all.

Thoughtfully decorated and cozy room. Very clean and newly renovated room. Not at all what the current pictures look like (e.g. no carpet anymore). Everything was spotless from bed to bath. Check-in and check-out were uncomplicated. Good location right in the middle of the town. Just a 5 min walk away from most of the restaurants and cafés.

It was very clean. The bed was comfortable. Our parking space was right outside our door. Self-service was easy and efficient. We were close to Yosemite NP, our destination.

Outdoor bugs found their way in—Spiders and a wasp. TV was quite small. Their self-service was VERY efficient but not very personal.

Staff courteous and friendly. Place was clean and comfortable. Totally in the center of downtown. We are so ready to comeback. I 100% recommend this place if you are looking for relax and a place to rest and enjoy the surroundings. We were there for one of my son's wedding at Yosemite National Park and we needed a place for the 5 members of our family. Mother lode lodge had the perfect place with an apartment with 3 rooms, kitchen, dining and living room and and extra TV room. We loved it.

We didn't like to leave, we really wanted to stay longer.
