Lala, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The owner greeted us and was a really nice lady. The family room was exactly as described with 3 comfortable beds. It also had a small fridge and dining table. There is a small bench outside the door to enjoy the weather and air. This is a great central option to Lone Pine and Bishop.

Just Like Family

We were greeted like family upon arrival which is special after a long driving day. Geeta shared the brief story of how they turned this vintage motel into an extremely comfortable and updated room. Highly recommend this motel.

LYNDA, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

In booking this room I didn't expect much but was very pleasantly surprised. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had an issue with my car that they helped me figure out. The grounds, though small, are clearly well cared for. I highly recommend.
Scott, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly owner. Clean, quiet room with all the amenities we needed. Loved that it was a throwback motel to where you can park just a few feet away from your room.
Leroy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Simple, low key, affordable and caring!

The most caring place I have ever stayed. They called us to check on our arrival and to let us know where to stop for dinner and breakfast the following morning. They went through the rooms and details, made sure that we didn’t have a pet this trip and gave us snacks. It was like staying with a caring family member! Simple, low key, affordable and caring!

Greeted warmly by the proprietor. The motel is a set piece for a quieter time. Rooms are small, but very well kempt. I'm a frequent traveler along 395, this place is going to be my go-to property when I'm traveling along the Owens Valley
Wayne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Geeta was a wonderful host. She was kind and cared about our comfort. We took our dog and there are places to walk in the back of the property where it is safe and off the highway. The room was clean and had adequate space. There were lots of special touches, including the welcome basket. We will definitely come back again. Thank you, Geeta
