It was a quaint no frills stay. My husband and I are backpackers and needed a place to stay before we started the trail in the morning. Staff was incredibly friendly. Room was clean although the bed a tad lumpy. All in all, we enjoyed our stay. We will stay again next time we visit the Eastern Sierras.

The room was clean and the check-in staff who are actually at the gas station were helpful. Parts of the room in the bathroom seemed a little worn but the microwave and fridge functioned well and the fan unit was good for blocking out noise.

The room was a bit outdated, but we appreciated the simple and budget-friendly option in this great location close to tons of hiking and other outdoor recreation opportunities. The staff were great - even though they are busy running the gas station, the person who checked us in was quick and efficient.

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

This place was pretty nice for an older, renovated, classic motel. It wasn’t fancy, but it was clean and fine for a night or two. It is located right on the main highway. Parking was easy. You check in at the Chevron next door. There is a good sized market there for a gas station and the staff was friendly. If you are hiking at Big Pines Lakes, this is a great place to stay. The only downside was the bed, which was very uncomfortable and I didn’t get the best nights sleep.
