Put in a bathroom clothes hook please

my only complaint is that I've asked them on previous trips to put up some type of clothes Huking in the bathroom so when you take a shower, you can hang your clothes. At any expensive fix, but they have ignored it.

Quiet place

I had just driven about 90 minutes outside of Yosemite. I was just looking for a place to crash and this one happened to be close to the exit.

It’s a roadside beautiful property, but we didn’t realize it until the next day as we were leaving given the rooms allocated to us were not in the best part of property. Staff was very nice and helpful.

I've stayed at this motel more than a few times due to its proximity to Yosemite National Park and haven't had any complaints. This time, however, the room I got had a super high bathroom sink...a huge above-counter sink sat on the regular height counter and that made using the sink very difficult for a short person. I had to bring out the stepping stool I happened to have in my car in order to wash my face at the sink. I know this is not the case in other rooms I have stayed, so if you are a relatively short person (shorter than 6'), I'd recommend asking for a room without this type of sink.
