This is a classic style 2-level motel, but it has lovely gardens! I enjoyed sitting in a lounger in the cool mountain air surrounded by flowers and with a view of Mono lake. The restaurant on site had great variety and everything was very fresh. It's walkable to the local markets and restaurants. It's a great place to stay before heading into the Tioga pass entrance of Yosemite!

I think lake view lodge is the most significant lodge in Lee Vining with its history and the beautiful setting among other hotel/motels.

While it was a clean room and in a great location, the rooms need to be updated. Its was great for the price and the diner on-site is also a plus. Just some of the fixtures, lights, faucets, bedding, etc. need to be upgraded. Otherwise a great stay.
