Pros:

Clean and friendly night staff. Breakfast was good variety.

Cons:

The noise of the freeway was terribly loud and a constant disruption in sleep.
The morning staff watched a movie with screams at breakfast time. Not a nice way to start the day.

Pros:

Belle chambre, confortable, bon petit déjeuner, pas de moquette au sol

Cons:

Le bruit de l'autoroute ! La piscine inutilisable car un bruit épouvantable. L'hôtel aurait dû installer un mur anti bruit. Salle petit déjeuner trop petite

Disappointed
Pros:

Freezer worked good

Cons:

The beds are terribly uncomfortable, there was hair in the potatoes at breakfast, when I mentioned it to staff , she said- thats the unfortunate thing about eating buffet style. I mentioned to her maybe she could put out some fresh potatoes and she just walked away and didn't care if the other guest were eating the potatoes with hair in them, they don't sweep the floors everyday like they say they do, dirty rooms, it just wasn't worth the price and a disappointment, I've stayed there a few times before with friends and I thought going on my own this time would be better but this was the worst stay , I just can't go back, the beds are terrible! And honestly the breakfast is yucky 🤮 and disappointing the food is so cheap not appealing at all, also the lighting is terribly, all I can say is good luck to anyone who stays at this certain B.Wrtn

Staff is 10/10! unfortunately would only stay here if I have no better options due to Hardly any sleep
Pros:

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Too close to the freeway, not enough insulation in the walls. Hard to sleep sounds like the freeway is on the side of your bed. I got the last room in the far corner, which has a bright security light directly outside the door with even closing the role, shade and the shutters. There was still so much light in my room.

Good comfortable motel at the end of town with easy access to Yosemite
Pros:

The room was comfortable and noise was not an issue

Cons:

The selection of TV stations was very poor - so much so that we gave up, Even the guide for the station content was off by an hour.
