Find 2 Star Hotels in Independence, CA from SAR 297

"Room was very clean and spacious. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was terrific."

"We were disappointed in the Trails Motel. I was reminded of motels that my family stopped at in the 50's and 60's; while some of the features in the room had been updated there wasn't much change. If we find ourselves in Lone Pine again, we would definitely be looking for somewhere else to stay."

"Room was clean, parking was chaotic, steps into and out of the room were not easy to get up and down for a couple of octogenarians."

"The place was clean the air conditioner worked perfectly. The person at the desk was very helpful. We got there late, and I asked him if anyone in town would deliver food. He said no. It is a small town. A few minutes later, he knocked on our door to let us know the restaurants might close if we waited too long. Thankfully, he did we made it just before the store closed."

"Don’t judge this place by the outside- this little motel ended up being exactly what I needed after an intense hike. The room is small, as expected, but perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for a clean, comfortable place to shower, cool off, and rest. The AC absolutely cranks, which was heaven after being out in the heat all day. The owners have added so many thoughtful touches: toothbrushes, single-use toothpaste, makeup remover wipes, bath gels, plus a mini fridge and microwave in the room. When I checked in, I was greeted with bottled water, fruit, and cookies, such a kind welcome after a long day. There are also cute patios with hanging lights where you can sit and eat takeout, and there’s even a homemade ice cream shop right next door with a really vibey outdoor patio. One of the owners mentioned a nearby trail just behind the motel, and I’m so glad I listened. I ended up walking through the beautiful Mary DeDecker native plant garden alongside a babbling creek with little bridges and an incredible sunset view over the mountain ridge. It turned into one of the highlights of my trip. This place may not look like much from the outside, but it has heart, kindness, and everything you actually need for a peaceful stay."

"For a small town this was a good place to stay. Staff was kind and the place was quiet."

"I stayed at Mt Williamson on a business trip. It is early in the season so the place is not humming in its operation. The room is rustic but functional. There isn't much amenities to speak about. What bother me to most is the poor sound insolation. My unit is close to the main road and at night when big trucks and speeding motorists speed by, the noise penetrates the room and it would be difficult to sleep if you are a light sleeper. Check in and check in hours are limited and much of the information about the motel and surrounding areas are self-help. I will probably not going to stay at Mt Williamson in the future given there are other options that I will try to test out."
