“What struck me about this motel-style property near Yosemite is its position between the park and Mariposa's charming historic district, making it ideal for travelers interested in both nature and local culture. While the architecture leans toward the functional, perks such as the complimentary breakfast buffet, tennis courts, and even a children's playground, distinguish it from other nearby options. The YARTS bus service directly from the hotel simplifies park access, a definite plus.”
