Dirty and disgusting.

This was a last minute booking decision. I was first booked into a room downstairs. This room was livable, although not nice enough for the price. The next day, I was moved into an upstairs room - the carpet was dirty and impossible to clean, the shower curtain had mold growing on it, and the overall situation...a dump. Overpriced dump.

It is located in a good location. The room has most all i need , except a suitcase table.this s a small room, but it works. Air conditioning works well, a tad loud, but keeps it cool. The refridgerator door kept popping open, so i had to put the suitcase in front.the front desk was friendly and engaging. I would stay here again.

Good location

Motel is very close to the road so there's lots of road noise in the morning and at night until just after midnight. Air conditioner does a pretty good job of drowning it out though. The front desk staff is extremely friendly. They seem to be in the process of updating the rooms. Bathroom vanity and tile floor are new, bed and headboard are new and is very comfortable. We used this motel as a home base for checking out Yosemite and King's Canyon/Sequoia National Park for 3 days. It's in a great location for getting out of town to go to the parks, and is also close to Walmart, Costco and several restaurants. Shower curtain and black stains on the bottom and the walls/ceiling could use some updating/paint. Certainly not a 5-star hotel, but we had a great sleep each night.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Among the better motels at this price.

Firstly, i need to say that the bed was more comfortable than some we have had in hotels that cost twice the price. And the room was mostly clean and usable. But cleaning staff needs some training. Found smelly wet towel under the shower curtain. Also, I put out the "do not disturb" sign after the first night of our 2-night stay because we didn't need anything & we didn't want anyone in our room. We returned to find they came in anyway. They took the tiny soap I had used once as well as my plastic cup. I hate the wastefulness as much as the intrusion. I did tell the desk person when we left. I was also sad that it took a very long time to get any hot water. More unfortunate waste.

Precisa de melhorias.

Infelizmente o quarto estava cheirando a cigarro e o banheiro além de não ser espaçoso, para o chuveiro tinha uma cortina que não dava conta, o que causou a maior molhadeira inclusive chegando a molhar o carpete do quarto.
