Nice place and convenient to good restaurant across the street and central to area attractions. Would stay there again except that the beds in our room were horribly uncomfortable. Awoke every morning with bad back ache. Not worth the pain.

We went for a girls weekend to chase fall foliage and hike. The location is prime outside of yosemite tioga pass and conveniently located driving to all Eastern Sierra hiking spots. It looks like they recently renovated the room. We stayed in room 17 and it had newer carpets in the room and LVP in the bathroom. Had a mini fridge and microwave that was clean and worked which was nice. The view in the back was gorgeous of Mono Lake. I will definitely be staying here in the future.

poor value for the price. Breakfast was a honey bun in plastic wrap. It was across the street from a restaurant. Heard semi-trucks going through town all night. Wouldn't go back.

Views not worth the mediocre room
The property is clean but rundown. One lamp didn’t work & slider was difficult to open/lock. For $200 per night I expected a box of Kleenex in room. There are a couple balconies with table & chairs to sit & view Mono Lake which is nice but was right outside our room & had a loud grouo out there one night which made it difficult to sleep. Location is great but view isn’t worth the sub service.

Old but kind of cute. The staff were very nice and helpful and the new management's continental breakfast appreciated. Across the street from a deadly gift store and delightful cafe. Loved the view of Mono Lake (which we visited, very very interesting ecotour!) and the stream below. Star off for the iffy plumbing but very clean. Good for Yosemite visit.
