Fantastic spot, kind and accommodating staff. Clean, warm, comfortable and the perfect place to stay for access to Yosemites east entrance and exploring Mammoth and June Lakes areas!

The location is great! Beautiful views, quiet, easy access to the market and restaurants - which unfortunately were not open. Nice room, comfortable bed. The negative - no refrigerator or microwave. The listing may have mentioned this, but I missed it and brought a bunch of food. So that was a problem. The other problem was I had to slam the door to get it to shut and lock. Could not find the manager and the workers I found could not speak english. In spite of these things however, I would stay there again. It's a perfect location for my photo trips.

There is no A/C in the rooms and it was in the 90s during our stay. Only an “air cooler” which barely does anything to cool down the room. It does cool off outside at night around 1-2am, but the windows will barely open, and when they are open, some of the screens were so bad that bugs could get in. There were a lot of ants in the bathroom, which is where the coffee maker is.

Wonderful location, fair price and kind staff. Infrastructure needs renewal. No smoke alarms in rooms heated by radiant coils...seems like a fire hazard.
