very nice classic motel court, friendlly hosts, new furniishings, HVAC being upgraded (half-finished). Only issue was too much carpet scent on rug: discussed with managment who took note and promised to inform housekeeping. Customer focused owners.

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
