Arrived late and were glad to find a place. Rooms are nice and clean. Hotel front area is set up very nicely for relaxing. The breakfast room is very nice and the breakfast is very cheap. Good place, would like to come again.

First of all, let me start by saying that the only reason I'm giving this two out of five is that the bathroom was extremely clean, and the woman cleaning rooms was delightful (I met her the next morning and thanked her for cleaning my bathroom so well). I was exhausted, hot, hungry and needed to save money, it was... More

ICK. I'm sooooo not picky but this place is disgusting. And to make matters worse, the walls are truly paper thin. I HONESTLY heard the guy next door ZIP HIS LUGGAGE!!! The ONLY good things I can say about this place was 1. They had a room when we needed one and 2. The WiFi was strong.

I wrote a previous review entitled that the wrong hotel pictures were displayed on Tripadvisor. I have since returned to the Lee Vining Motel and taken pictures of the property and my room. I hope this is helpful. All of the comments in my first review remain my perceptions of the property. Basically clean, simple and a good value with... More

Small town with just 4 streets , 1 gas station and 2 bars. Motell closes 9 o'clock whatever happens. A bit expensive and very old style. Could invest in renovation. Clean, on the edge of Yosemiteh national park. Good for one stay.

The motel is very close to the street. Depending on the room you get, you will hear the traffic all night. The rooms are neither sound-proof, nor proper isolated. Price/ value just ok, but only as all the other motels are even more overpriced than this one. PS: the picture on tripadvisor does not show the correct motel

Huge gap under door, thin walls, large spider crawling in bed, spiders in shower had to wear flip flops in shower & room. Slept in bed with sleeping bags & used towels we brought. Very cheap for last minute, but good lord, sketchy. Lady gave us master key to motel to check out room & only took cash.

Be advised that the "Lee Vining Motel" picture displayed on TripAdvisor, and provided by one of the previous reviewers, is not of the "Lee Vining Motel", but a picture of Murphey's Motel just down the street. I don't know if Trip Advisor can remove the inaccurate picture, but if so, please do so. The Lee Vinjing Motel is basic, but... More

Arrived at Lee Vining with no reservation and was lucky to find this motel as all the others were booked. Very basic - no fridge, coffee, air-con. Large room with two queen beds. No curtains, just ineffectual blinds. However, it was clean and very quiet although it was on the main road. Perfect place for visiting Bodie ghost town and... More

A nice, quiet, dated but very clean motel with nice-size rooms. We spent the day in Yosemite National Park and the night in Lee Vining before heading towards Las Vegas. This motel suited our purpose very well -a decent place to lay our tired heads!
