“It was okay. I would probably try another place if I was back in the area.”
The location was great, I was going to Yosemite the next day and needed a place relatively close and it was. The clerk was very nice and so was the woman working the breakfast area.

“Great value, clean, great breakfast included, free parking. Nothing to dislike.”
Breakfast was excellent. Very friendly lady running the show at breakfast. Room clean and comfortable. Price was very reasonable given what I'd pay for similar in UK. Parking included as well. Used as base to get to Yossemite, 1hr 30min drive but please drive and scenic. Some good restaurants close by, in US that still means a drive.

“Overall pleasant, the main plus is the location”
I liked the cleanliness of the room, the comfort of the bed, the breakfast was really enjoyable: the ladies working there are very nice and helpful, we can tell it's a hard job because people are in a rush in the morning, anyway, they had fresh fruits, oatmeal, waffles and eggs and bacon that were fantastic. The breakfast experience really added to the value of our stay. Also, the biggest plus when staying in the hotel is the location: it is next to the highway ready to go and past Sonora, so if you go to Yosemite, you avoid that hurdle
