Perfect for an easy over night

Super easy checking in/ check out process. The property is older but clean and comfortable and has been nicely updated. Perfect for a quick over night before heading up into the Eastern Sierra for a backpacking trip. Highly recommend.

Noisy, cold, cramped, overpriced

If you’re into non stop trucks going by less than 20 ft from your bed, if you’re into heaters being too small to keep you and yours warm, if you love your shower not draining and flooding the floor, and you enjoy stubbing your toes on furniture too big for a small room - and you really love over paying for getting no sleep - this place is for you!

Spartan, but adequate for an overnight stay. The town is itself is not worth staying at (though it has an awesome view of the Eastern Sierras).

Rooms are super small, beds occupy all the space, leaving no room for the usual furniture. There is no front desk and no service of any kind. The building is merely a few feet from the busy 395 highway, with truck traffic being heard even past midnight.

We really enjoyed this property. No it is not a Hilton but great in its own way. It is a small motor lodge that is cute, clean, comfortable. It is 15 minutes from Lone Pine. The room is a large basic room with a very comfortable bed. There is a refrigerator, microwave and kettle in the room. A wide range of snacks are in the rooms. (Popcorn, chips, granola bars, and sweets) We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the Adirondack chairs looking at the mountains. We were very happy with this cute motel and will be back.
