My wife and I stayed in one of the cabins with a kitchenette. It was cozy, clean and adequate for our 3 day visit to the Lee Vining area. It was quiet, good bathroom and simple kitchen with stove, half refrigerator and adequate counter space. The bed was not comfortable. It was hard and noisy. The bed is the only real negative about this otherwise good lodging.

The room was spacious, the location gorgeous, the price- point reasonable. We'll be back. The only complaint (and it is minor): The handles for the faucets (all of them) required strength beyond most mortals to get the water running.

The sheets were clean. That is the best I can say. We had room 15 facing a brick wall. If I had seen the motel before booking, I would have gone somewhere else. We paid a lot for a crummy room and absolutely NO view! The window over the bed had light in our faces. Not good!
