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.

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The room was a bit outdated, but we appreciated the simple and budget-friendly option in this great location close to tons of hiking and other outdoor recreation opportunities.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.

The property was clean and parking was right outside your room. The room is pretty bare minimum, no fancy linens or pictures on the walls. BUT, it was super clean, quiet,and the bed was comfortable! AND, it had a fridge, microwave AND I was able to watch Netflix for free!

Clean and comfortable. Convenient location for a small town. Just a little jaunt down the road from Mammoth. Would definitely stay again.

I needed a room for the night before backpacking the next day. The room was clean and had all of the basic amenities. Nothing fancy, but excellent for the price. I would definitely stay there again. There was nothing that I disliked about the room.

Room was perfect with a little kitchen. I love that they don’t charge extra for pets. It’s convenient to have the little store right there for all your needs.

Quiet and convenient.

One night stay on on work related trip. Room was clean, and what I expected to find in a small, local, high dessert town. Not luxurious but old school charm with modern amenities, surprised how quiet it was especially on main HWY. (395). Could not beat the price, and everything in town is within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again

Nice One-Night Stay

I thought checking in at the Chevron next door was a little strange, but the process was quick and the staff was friendly and helpful with my questions. Being unfamiliar with the area, he was helpful in suggesting to me hiking trails and a good local place to eat. The room was clean and comfortable and quiet for the one night I was there. Found a beautiful hike just a short drive away. The only negative was having to take the ice bucket to the Chevron to get ice from the soda fountain.
