Motel is in a nice location close to several food options. Nicely’s restaurant is directly across the street and the mobile gas station has Whoa Nellie Deli that has delicious food only a minute or so drive to get there. The room has a beautiful view of Mono Lake and the town is very quaint. Enjoyed our stay !

This was a little gem in Lee Vining. We were given a room overlooking the canyon and lake and it was nice to sit on the patio and enjoy it. The room was very comfortable. Shower was a little lacking in power but the water was nice and warm. A wonderful restaurant was directly across the street. Would definitely stay here again.

This was older motel that has been kept in good condition. Pleasant staff, very helpful. It was clean and had all of the amenities that we needed. Beds were comfortable. Only suggestion: softer pillows. We would absolutely recommend. We would stay there again.

The price was a bit more than we'd prefer, but the room was a good size and the bed comfortable. Not sure what the service fee was for, though!

Location was great. Amazing overview of Mono Lake. Easily walk into town. Parking was a little cramped but plenty for motel residents. Rooms were clean and cozy and the balcony was great for sunset reading and relaxing. Only complaint was there was no room fridge.

I wasn’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Nice view of the lake with beautiful sun deck for stargazing and watching the sunrise. Cute touches with towels like bows and tissue paper like flowers shows they take pride and care. Bodie Mikes BBQ across the street was convenient.

Staff friendly and room was clean. The bed was too soft and it would have been nice to have real milk for the in room coffee instead of creamer. A bit noisy when the big trucks go by .
