The room was not as clean as it should have been. The bed spread was filthy, the sheets looked horrible. Good thing we were prepared with our own bedding. It was poorly cleaned.

We got the storage room and it was not clean at all.

10/10

Pleasantly surprised by their prices and how quiet everything was overnight. AC, WiFi, Dish Network all worked with perfection and had no issues. The water pressure was excellent however, the water drained very slow in the shower I just didn’t feel like calling the front office for that. I would definitely recommend them and would stay there again.

The thunderbird is a work in progress. Will be fabulous when completed. The location is priceless. Off the main road. The room is super clean and large. The covers are way too heavy for summer but perfect for winter. Bath soap be nice. The shades are total blackout / perfect, every hotel should have them. Within walking to everything. Good stay.

6/10

The room was small and very dated. The TV was very dark and very hard to watch. The hair dryer was pulled out of the wall and was laying on the counter. The shower drain was clogged and the tub filled up while showering. Overall, the room was not maintained and it made the stay disappointing. This is the first time I’ve ever given a bad review but I feel it needed to be put out there.
3-night trip

8/10

Affordable. Comfortable. Convenient. Nice staff. My only complaint was my room had a noisy, very loud heater that cycled every 4 minutes. For the money, a great motel for a good place to crash.
2-night trip

10/10

After 5 days in the backcountry this was just what I needed. Comfy bed, (2 pillow options for softness). Had fridge and microwave which I didn't need or use but was nice to have for some folks. Soap in dispensers was great. No shampoos which was ok because I'd brought my own, but just need to know in advance. I had flown into Bishop airport so originally picked this motel for the free airport shuttle. I had a friend pick me up but needed a ride back to the airport which was supplied for me with no hassle and greatly appreciated. Since I didn't have a car it was also nice to have various food options within walking distance as the Main Street/ hwy 395 was just 1/2 block away.

Office smells like curry, horrible parking, unfriendly person at counter, junk and trash against building, sidewalks dirty, food left in microwave, washcloths stained, had my own pillow thank goodness.
1-night trip

6/10

The place was clean but spartan. No bar soap just liquid soap in a container attached to the wall. The lights from the parking lot shine into the room even with the shade. Need black out curtains. It served the purpose but nothing memorable.
