This is a very basic hotel off of the main road through town. The biggest draw is the location --- Big Pine being a gateway to many outdoor hiking areas. The shower was warm, the sheets and towels clean. That's all we needed tonight.

better than expected

It was what we needed during long road trip. A comfortable bed. The mattress pillows and sheets were surprisingly comfortable. Nice to be able to park in front of your entry door. Also the real coffee maker with fresh ground coffee. But weird that you had to check in a Chevron Gas Station.

Excellent family accommodation for road trip in which booking was made last minute. My only criticism would be that the sheets don’t fit the bed so well and came off easily. Nice town and nice people.

Property was OK, but very expensive for the small room. Most restaurants in town were closed down.
