We stayed here on our way to Yosemite and enjoyed ourselves, the room and pool were super clean (priceless to me!) the room was comfortable and the staff were super nice and helpful. And all of this for a really reasonable price. We will be staying at sandpiper lodge anytime we come through the area!

Manny was extremely friendly. He manages the front desk and works very hard to accommodate your wishes. The price was fair. Place was very clean and far enough off the highway which lessened the noise on the highway nearby. Margie

“Nice manager, older ammenities”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

The manager, Manny, is extremely kind and the motel is cheap--50/night--and on the way to Yosemite. I assume that is why most people stay there. The room, though clean, did have an outdated bathroom, oldish towels, and a loud air conditioner. However, the pool was relaxing. The ice machine was out of order at the time. After a long day...

The hotel is clean. There are no frills, but what do you expect for less than $50. a night? There is no shampoo provided and there is no blow dryer in the room.
