Front desk (gas station) was a little rushed and curt, check in and check out was a little odd. Overall decent room, and value. Would stay again in a pinch.

It's an average old motel in a small town. Completely adequate. What does one expect?

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

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.

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.

A nice quick stop for gas and overnight rest just before you back on the road. Not a luxurious place to stay but good enought to stop and get some sleep.

I was happy that my key was left in my room and there was a note on the door. I was unhappy that my shower was basically unusable for half of my stay. There is no ice machine after the storefront closes. Some of the staff was cordial, overall though the staff was mostly impolite and stand-offish. The rooms air conditioning barely worked for a place that stays in the 70’s even during the night at the time we stayed. Parking was sparse. I loved that pets stayed free and this was a very pet accommodating motel. When we asked to get our shower fixed, the manager or owner I believe didn’t really fix it. My wife was upset and asked what do we do he replied “we have showers that you can use coins to shower. I was out doing business and returned to a flooded shower. I had to plug it and fix it myself.
