Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Don’t stay here if you need darkness or quiet to sleep. Bed is arranged such that the outside light shines right on the head of the bed. AC unit is noisy and needs to be fully turned on/off via the circuit breaker (circuit breaker was off when we got the room). Whoever renovated this place clearly hates their job and it shows across the room, like how the mirror is resting on screws sticking out of the wall or how the sink is weirdly high. No soap holder in the shower, microwave plus fridge plus everything else plugged into a power strip on the nightstand, etc. the list of cut corners goes on.

Lake View Lodge is situated right off Hwy 395 and just outside of Lake Mono, so convenience was great. The area is quiet and late check-in was much appreciated since we didn’t get in until 11pm. The cons were a springy bed that wasn’t very comfortable and the sinks were unusually high, making it difficult to use.
