Our stay at FairBridge Inn was very pleasant. Front desk staff was courteous and accommodating. The room was clean, bed was comfortable. However, no wash cloths were provided. The grounds are welcoming and kept up nicely. The room rate is cost friendly. I would recommend FairBridge to all my friends.

Good value

Affordable option during a road trip and visit to Yosemite. The room is cozy, but comfortable & has the necessities. The motel is adjacent to the highway & the railroad tracks, so expect some noise. But overall, the staff were friendly & welcoming & I had a good experience.
