kitchen

I was pleasantly surprised. Rooms are partially remodeled, with a small kitchen and standard size refrigerator. We liked it so much we stayed and extra night.  The room stayed cool due to the shade from the hill behind the room. I put the box fan that was provided in the kitchen window and it was nice and cool when it was 87°F outside. 

Pleasantly Surprised 

Here is the straight forward honest review of this place, of which I have stayed on two seperate occaisions. The first day was a good stay with me and my wife being there for a couple of nights no problems everything good. The second and most recent stay just a week ago was different, first of all the unit we stayed in was directly above the office and it was a large unit with a beautiful view, The kitchen and bathroom were clean and the kitchen had a Keurig coffee maker, I did notice however that the place was a little rundown but that’s OK, we had a good stay with great snowboarding at June mountain, however on Saturday sometime while we were snowboarding someone from the hotel came and replenish the coffee pods, but they didn’t bother to check the single most important item in any hotel or motel the toilet paper. Sunday morning I called the office and very politely asked if we could get some toilet paper, The man who answered who I assume must’ve been the owner manager Jeff paused for quite some time then made a loud exhale and the tone of his voice sounded agitated and annoyed and said OK I’ll bring you some toilet paper… but he never did bring that toilet paper in fact I’m still waiting for it. What kind of a person would ruin somebody’s day over something as simple as toilet paper? I can only imagine that he may have some other problems he’s dealing with or he’s just sick of being a motel manager owner. So in conclusion the place is in a good location the rooms are decent the only problem is the attitude of the proprietor.       Rich.

Snowboarding weekend.

Shower head came off and water sprayed everywhere. Stains on the room chairs, rip in the screen, broken tile in the bathroom and gross stains in the shower. No air conditioning and not all the windows have screens. No towel racks in the bathroom so nowhere to hang wet towels. Extremely rude manager who swore at me and then hung up on me when I asked for a different room. Worst place I’ve ever stayed.

Awful do not stay here

I would stay there any time rooms spacious and clean with alcove kitchen full fridge micro and sink no stove or hot plate.  Double queens end room ground floor ideal no neighbor on one side.  Beds a little soft but a good sleep and everything works. Check out view of waterfall in distance pic and tunnel south loop trees pic and just as good across street from double eagle resort and restaurant.  It’s a winner! Early booking get you best price at the lake 

Very nice budget priced for area hotel

This is a family owned property in a small rustic resort town where I didn't see any large corporate chain hotels or motels. Because I appreciate that I won't hold this motel to the same standards as I would from a chain. That being said you should expect some deficiencies from this place. A lampshade was damaged, there were no towel racks in the bathroom, the hottub was almost to hot to sit in and the tv channels were confusing to find. When we came back to our room the day after we arrived it hadn't been made up. I contacted the front desk and the owner personally came in and cleaned it which impressed us. He told us they were slowly starting to do some upgrades. Our room was clean and the views were outstanding. Just don't expect anything fancy.

Rustic Property with Great Views

The location was gorgeous. Having driven up from Santa Monica, via Death Valley though, you noticed the temperature drop. We were only there one night and the room was perfect for that. the bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom were plenty spacious

Lovely Views

We planned late for Yosemite trip and were relegated to this area as all closer venues were booked but turned out to be a blessing in disguise.  After 1.5 days in Yoesemite, we avoided the crowds and enjoyed June Lake, Mammoth Lake and saw more, did more in a relaxing, less crowded environment.  Reasonable, but old room.  Nothing fancy but adequate. Small staff with limited service.  A few nearby restaurants.  Would go back again..  

very relaxing family vacation

When I book a 2-star property I am not expecting to be wowed by the accommodations, but I do expect them to be clean and in good working order. This cabin, located directly behind the motel with it's own entrance and small porch, needs some maintenance.

First off, parking was difficult as the snow was not adequately removed like it was in the lower lot. After returning to our cabin in the afternoon we noticed an inch of water on the floor of the kitchen eating area and water dripping from the ceiling. The front desk gentleman came up with some ice buckets and towels and said there wasn't anything he could really do about it. (The snow was melting on the roof and dripping down through the shingles.) I also asked him for some ant traps because there were ants crawling on the walls in the kitchen and in the sink. He looked at them and said, "Yes, those are carpenter ants. Don't leave any food out. If they get in your trash we will deal with them." He then left without killing any of the ants he had just seen in the sink. 

When I went in to use the shower I was grossed out by the brown liquid stains in the tub. (see photo) I'm not sure how housekeeping staff could find that an acceptable way to leave a room for an incoming guest. 

Other areas that needed attention I could overlook considering the reasonable price: broken light switch, peeling and scratched off wallpaper, stained carpet, chipping paint on moulding, bent up mini-blinds, etc. 

This cabin does have an inherent charm that comes from it's log walls and offers plenty of space, kitchen facilities, and a separate bedroom. If the owners invested just slightly more time in maintaining the property it could be real gem. Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case.

One bedroom cabin was not whispering, but shouting for attention

About 25 minutes from tioga  pass entrance of Yosemite, large clean room, kitchenette well stocked, clean washroom. Easy access, 2 floors no elevator FYI, restaurants nearby, limited front desk hours, but good for a Yosemite stay

Good stop for Yosemite 

We stopped here after visiting Yosemite.
The check in was smooth, and the guy on reception really friendly. 
The room was a great size, with a kitchen and great size bathroom.
We drove about 5 minutes from the motel once it was dark, and had the most amazing view of stars at the milky way. It was stunning. We also saw deer wandering pass in the morning, we would definitely stay again.
