I often stay at Lake View Lodge when I visit the east side of Yosemite. It's only 15-20 min to Tioga Entrance and is very conveniently located. The facilities are dated but clean and I have no complaints.

Nice small motel along the road south of Dearh Valley.
Friendly staff.
Room is large, nice and clean.
Kitchenette rooms has just a microwave and minifridge and a couple of spoons, bowls, and cups, so don't think you're going to cook anything there. There i snice bar saloon across the road.
