“What stands out here is the practical approach to budget lodging near Yosemite: expect free parking, and select rooms even include kitchens. I see that the non-smoking policy is a definite plus for many. For a simple stay close to both Yosemite's Tioga Pass and Mammoth Mountain, this property seems like a reasonable option.”
