This motel had distant views of a lake, but that is the best bit! The rooms are clean but very dated. No toiletries except a bar of soap and thin towels. Hair dryer had to be requested at front desk. No pool but a spa tub which had a sign indicating that "due to the high cost of energy this... more

Gateway was a very pleasant experience. After reading the original reviews, we too were skeptical. But they put us up in #4 which afforded a "fantastic" view of Mono Lake. There was a lovely veranda out our back door that was GREAT for relaxing. It would appear that most of the rooms would afford such a view with the exception... more

While there are nice view sof Mono Lake from some rooms, overall this motel is a study in deferred maintenance. The whole place appears to be sliding down the hill. The concrete decks are crumbling; the wood is rotting. The carpets are stained and grimy. The linoleum bathroom floors are grimy and stained with the dirt of ages. The linens... more

If you're looking for luxury and pampering, stay elsewhere. But if you want a good basic room at a good price, this is the place. The clean, comfortable room accommodates up to 4 in 2 double beds. There is satellite TV with about 300 channels, an in-room coffee maker with coffee and tea packets, and a combination heater/air conditioner below... more

Great little motel in Lee Vining, perfect for couples and families staying overnight near Yosemite national park. Very cozy and romantic place, room (nr 12) was in great condition and exceeded our expectations. Right across the road is the towns diner where you can have breakfast or dinner. Perfect for Yosemite visitors who come from west or south - you... more

Bare bones, but clean and serviceable. They turned the lights and heat on when we arrived (showed some consideration). No WiFi, no phone in the room, but the view from the porch was breathtaking. Totally fine. more

I've stayed at the Yosemite Gateway Motel twice in the last 8 months and found it rustic and perfect for where and what it is. It is an inexpensive night's stay and is located in a spectacular area (Mono Lake and the Sierra Nevada mountains). The management is extremely friendly. I like the rustic interior, everything worked, the bed was... more

Room is so so, below average. The lake though in sight is kind of far, not impressed. The morning we left my son found a huge bed bug on the bed he slept - disgusting! After that he kept checking the bed of every room we stayed at during our trip! Definitely not worth what we paid for. more

This place is disgusting and doesn't seem safe at all. If you can get passed the old worn out furnishings, the fact that there is no air and the heater is older than grandma, well then you realize the shower is moldy, the bed is creaky, and the door doesn't close very well. After checking out two rooms we decided... more
