A Wonderful Stay
I had a great experience during my stay here. The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, making it easy to relax right away. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality of the owner—He was incredibly generous and welcoming from day one. You can tell he genuinely cares about their guests and goes out of his way to make you feel at home. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and pleasant place to stay!

nice managers and great picnic area by the rooms
Friendly owners, clean room. The cleaning chemicals used in the room were a bit too perfume-y, though. Unscented would be better. Nice area with picnic tables so you can have a picnic dinner. No breakfast provided but there is in-room coffee and a minifridge.

This is an older motel but the owner has kept it up well and is very customer-focused. The room was clean with comfortable beds. It worked well for us as a stop-over.

Overwhelming scent of perfume or strong air freshener made it impossible for us to stay in the room. we left and went back to Bishop.

Cozy stay before the snow
We left late for our trip up and didn’t get in til after midnight. The owner called us along the way to let us know restaurants were closing early in the area in case we were hoping for dinner nearby that night. When we finally made it up, we were so taken care of we immediately book marked this place for our next trip.

This probably one of the best motels I've stayed at. The owner was so friendly and welcoming. The benches right outside feels like a nice picnic at the park. Great place to say if you're hiking Big Pine Creek! Only 25 minutes from the trailhead.

Perfect place to stay before skiing in Mammoth the next day. Cheaper than places in Bishop. And the hosts are so nice. The husband called me before I left LA asking when I would be checking in. He just wanted to make sure I arrived before 8 because that’s when the restaurants in Big Pine close. And when I checked in, they gave me a banana, apple and delicious Indian crackers. Nice touch from very thoughtful people.

This motel was clean and cozy. We had messaged ahead since we were coming in late and the gentleman waited up for us and provided us with water and a snack upon arrival.

This is an older well kept motel that has such a positive vib to it. Staff is VERY friendly. Place is immaculately clean, quiet and comfortable. Fresh fruit is offered daily.
We highly recommend this place for an affordable place to stay on one of the most beautiful locations in the world along route 395. We will be back!
