Sonora Aladdin Motor Inn

The room and bathroom were clean and what we expected from a roadside inn. Staff was very nice and helpful in cancelling our second night upon arrival, as we realised the location was not great for our plans to visit Yosemite NP. They offer a standard continental breakfast (which looked good, but we only had a coffee). Pool looked good (didn't use it) and there's a gas station right next to the property, which is super convenient.

A fairly standard motel, with rooms perhaps a bit larger than many. It's mostly the corridor type (like hotels) rather than the more typical balcony-type where you enter from the outside, which is a plus because nobody walks past your window every five minutes. (There is a smaller section of the latter type as well, but even those rooms have windows on the other side to the doors). Despite a large road nearby, there was little noise: the building is on a hill above the road. The included breakfast was very good for an establishment of this class. Yes, mostly pre-packaged food (e.g. waffles), plus boiled eggs, toasts, etc., but enough variety to fill you up. For those who doesn't like or miss it, there is a cafe literally next door, as well as a gas station. Somewhat unusually for an American motel, there even was a coffee machine in the room, although whether one can call 'coffee' what it produces is debatable.

Spacious and clean rooms; great for the price point

The room had a freezer in the fridge, a microwave and a coffee maker. Beds were comfotable.

Very little vacancy so we were happy to get a room at all! But it was next to the ice machine; enough said there. The pool and spa were closed for maintenance. The breakfast snacks and coffee in the morning were great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable.
