The room was very comfortable and clean. My only request would be for the winter months to provide an extra blanket. The heater took a while to properly heat up the room. I very much enjoyed my stay. Will be coming back soon!

Perfect for an easy over night

Super easy checking in/ check out process. The property is older but clean and comfortable and has been nicely updated. Perfect for a quick over night before heading up into the Eastern Sierra for a backpacking trip. Highly recommend.

Simple check in with code. Didn't need help but it was a text away. Snacks for morning good. Everything clean. Bathroom shower needed a bit of fixing. Possible noise from highway but we had ac running... they supply ear plugs just in case

Great location and comfy!

Check in was easy. Bed was so comfy and I loved the free snacks provided. The ac worked very well, but it did make strange noises that kept waking me up. I was not able to get the water in the shower to a good temp. It took forever to heat up and then when I added the cold, it just stayed scalding. There are tons of plugs in the room! I love it. I would stay here for a another night again

We enjoyed our stay at Eastern Sierra Motor Lodge. It was easy to check in and the owner quickly responded when we needed anything. There are very few restaurants in Independence so we had to drive to Lone Pine to eat. There was no grocery store either.

It looks cute from the outside and nice views of the mountains. Some snacks provided, but only 2 coffee bags for 4 people. Fridge is not working properly and very loud. Airco is loud and need filter change. Toilet is leaking. Low water pressure.

We really enjoyed this property. No it is not a Hilton but great in its own way. It is a small motor lodge that is cute, clean, comfortable. It is 15 minutes from Lone Pine. The room is a large basic room with a very comfortable bed. There is a refrigerator, microwave and kettle in the room. A wide range of snacks are in the rooms. (Popcorn, chips, granola bars, and sweets) We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the Adirondack chairs looking at the mountains. We were very happy with this cute motel and will be back.
