No heat. are you for real??? manager claimed space heater would be ok. it was not. manager claimed heater just broke. weird, why is there a 20 year old space heater in the room then? will be contacting credit card company for charge back. avoid this place at all costs. overnight low temperature dipped into the 20s. inside room temp was maybe in the 40s. FRAUD

Quaint motel at a very reasonable price- great for hikers looking to resupply and take an off day. The couple that runs the place are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable. We will be back!

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.
