Great location for entrance to Yosemite with a few local things to see first. Liked: Stayed here for the location near the entrance to Yosemite. our room was right on the road so you felt vibrations as trucks went past. Room was a bit dated and musty but was ok and had everything you needed - we had

Liked: The beds were comfortable. The motel is close to Mono Lake and the Tioga Pass entrance to Yosemite. Disliked: The facilities are old and in desperate need of updating and repair. The bathroom door did not close, there was no soap, we heard the traffic on the highway behind our room all night.
