This is a cute little motel. It is quite old and the rooms are cozy (i.e., small) and the bathroom was very tiny. The little coffee shop in the lobby is great and the staff were very helpful and nice. I'd stay here again!

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

Lee Vining is bit of an oasis - there is nothing much around for miles. Murphys looked and proved to be about the best. It was quieter than we expected, nice and clean, and the bed was comfortable, but the curtains were not heavy enough bearing in mind the lights outside each unit were on all night, so a lot... More

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!

service is poor because they accept no advance reservations, so you just have to go there when they open at 3 or 4 p.m. and try to get a room. their phone has a prerecorded message and they don't return callsasking for information. the lowest room rate is $54 for a very basic room with a bed, 15 channel tv,...
