Cute little town. Great smokehouse restaurant across the street. Close enough to Yosemite for a day trip and saving money from being in the park

Clean remodeled room. Never saw a staff member the hole time I was there. Love this little old mining town. Best and cheapest place to eat is place called the Hideout Saloon. Exit Mother Lode Lodge and go right. turn right at gas station. Small sign on the left. Down stairs. Friendly staff.

This little boutique motel was a terrific spot to stay on our way to Yosemite. The owners are on site and always working on upgrades and cleanliness. The pool was very large , deep and the perfect temperature for swimming. We would recommend a stay here to anyone. Shops and restaurants are walking distance away

I had to check myself in so no one could recommend a place to eat. I had not used a lock box to get key before and had a little problem opening it in the dark. The facility was nice.

10/10 Exceptional

A simple, clean lodge perfect for a pit stop before heading into Yosemite! We checked in around 11pm, and an envelope with our name on it (along with a nice little hand-drawn picture!) that included our room information. Nobody was stationed at the office but 24/7 phone service was available and the nice lady gave us all the info we needed. Doors are unlocked, windows are open and keys are found within the room after we enter. I’m assuming this is a pretty safe town that they are able to do that. The room is very clean and my favorite part is that the pillows are not uncomfortably puffy/stuffy like many other hotels, so I slept really well! Love the atmosphere of the space; we kept our windows open for a while to let the amazing oak aroma in the air come into our room before we closed for the night.

Great budget stay if all you want is a clean place to sleep and shower. The TV in the room is super tiny so no cozy movie time in the hotel bed. walking distance to some restaurants.

Sweet little place

Very clean affordable and sweet motel. Room looked recently refurbished and in great condition. The mini fridge and microwave were a big plus. Right in the center of town walkable for stores and restaurants also groceries. Managers super friendly. Family owned vibe. Pool needs painting but still was nice to use.
