The lady who runs it and works the desk is very sweet. A+ customer service. The shower knob did not stay on and the building is on the older side, but it was clean and the customer service made it delightful.

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.

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.

We needed a Pet Friendly Motel on the way to Indio for a good price and this Motel had good reviews from other guests. Most people were leaving Excellent reviews for the Owner/Property Manager and cleanliness and those areas did not disappoint. The woman who checked us in was friendly and gave us cold water and snacks, and was kind to our dog. The room was clean, but on the end next to the Highway. Perhaps people traveling with dogs get Room 15, where the carpet has stains and the chairs were a little uncomfortable. My main complaint is that whenever the people next door ran their water there was a high pitched squeal that lasted for about 5 min. In the middle of the night its like a smoke alarm going off. And there’s an abandoned building directly in front of the Motel, which no one mentions. If you choose to stay here, don’t go to Room 15, and know that the Valero Station a block away has decent coffee.

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.

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!

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
