A very clean hotel and room. Easy access from road with plenty of parking. We will definitely stay there again. It's great for a base for adventures into the mountains.

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!

The place is perfect especially for the price. and it's near Mount Whitney which is also perfect.

Very nice and clean. Easy to access from the main street and the staff was very easy to reach when we had any questions.

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.

They tried hard in an old motel. Nice new linens, free snacks, still had a smoky old Motel Smell But again, they tried hard to cover up and I applaud the effort.

After I figured out the system for checking in, all was fine. I missed a text but the phone call was answered and solved the problem.

Fifties motel with no one in office. A shock at first but ok with comfortable bed.

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

Probably best motel in the area, nothing to complain about. Well organized, clean room, decent breakfast, the tv has youtube and netflix, rotating shower head, and everything works

Loved this little motel. They even had snacks in the room, definitely was a nkce little surprise. It was clean and the check in was very easy. Would definitely stay here again!

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

I have no complaints, everything went smoothly and I recommend everybody staying at Eastern Sierra Motor Lodge.

Thank you for your hospitality

Nice curb appeal for a motel with 2 new android chairs, rose bushes and flowering shrubs. Basic bed with basic linens just ok. Room was updated recently just enough to cover the dated establishment A/C worked great, refrigerator had a constant humming noise so we turned it off. Complimentary snacks were very plentiful and appreciated. May we suggest to include 2 bottled water? Easy reservation and check in with code for room door. No front desk, any problems you must text # to contact. Best value with comfort in the surrounding towns that didn’t look like your grandparents 1980 furniture and bedspread. Many upscale hotels in the area but wanted something reasonable for 1 night passing through. Thank you for your hospitality.

Please add, fridge, microwave, kettle to list of room amenities (for rooms that have them)
Howard, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Spartan, but adequate for an overnight stay. The town is itself is not worth staying at (though it has an awesome view of the Eastern Sierras).
Laurence, 1-night trip

Clean rooms and great communication.
Erin, 1-night trip

This place was adorable. We stayed in room 4. We appreciated the snacks and charm. The check in was super easy as they text you all the room access. Since we showed up late this worked great for us.
