This is a great place to stay, clean, quiet and you can park right next to your room. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the WiFi is really bad, I got 1 bar at best

I needed a room for the night before backpacking the next day. The room was clean and had all of the basic amenities. Nothing fancy, but excellent for the price. I would definitely stay there again. There was nothing that I disliked about the room.

Quiet and convenient.

One night stay on on work related trip. Room was clean, and what I expected to find in a small, local, high dessert town. Not luxurious but old school charm with modern amenities, surprised how quiet it was especially on main HWY. (395). Could not beat the price, and everything in town is within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again

This is a very basic hotel off of the main road through town. The biggest draw is the location --- Big Pine being a gateway to many outdoor hiking areas. The shower was warm, the sheets and towels clean. That's all we needed tonight.

Super fast check in. They just asked my name and handed me my key. Less than 30 seconds. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Checkin is at the general store in front of the rooms so you can get groceries and snacks as well as fuel all within feet of your room. Also prices room prices are very affordable compared to other locations in Bishop or Independence. I highly recommend

This is a great no frills motel..It is clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is quiet, except when the fire department rolls out, but hey…it’s a small town volunteer department…still better than being in the city…I enjoyed my stay and will definitely return…

Heavy equipment yard outside door. Dump trucks, graders, backhoes, haulers, caterpillars, etc. that start at 5:20am. Hot room with broken blinds that let in streetlight to head of bed. Microwave's only working function was as a clock. Room #30 was absolutely the worst place I've ever stayed in my life (I'm 72 & been around world). I should have cont' driving another 15min to Bishop, but was too tired.
