    Loved the breakfast outdoors at the picnic tables. Bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Location was convenient.

    The room temperature was hard to control. Bathroom sink did not drain.

    10CarolPosted on: 9-16-2025

    Great location overlooking stunning mountains. Comfy bed with beautiful bedding. Great bathroom with bath & shower. Kitchen was brilliant, cooker, hob, fridge/freezer etc. A lounge with table and chairs. Outside a veranda, and also padded chairs and tables.The complimentary breakfast was fantastic, with tables beautifully laid under the trees.

    Wished we were there longer!

    The staff was very accommodating with a late check-in time. The room was comfortable for 2 people and it was very quiet.

    Great atmosphere, quiet, separate cabins, great host.

    8ChristopherPosted on: 4-30-2025

    Good location, view of the mountains directly across the street, get to breakfast early and you can get a table with a picture window to take it all in. Breakfast was good, good variety, well staffed to keep coffee and food topped up - this was a busy place - almost fully booked and it wasn't quite peak season, hence the price, worth a bit extra based on what I could see of some of the other "cheaper" places in town (small town).

    The room was smallish with two queen sized beds, the bathroom was narrow, renovations were done not too long ago, but I found peeling wall paper in high wear areas. This place gets a lot of use, so don't expect perfection.

    Location, the apartment, the information we got from Doug. The place is 20 min from Lone Pine and Alabama Hills, an outstanding site to visit.

    Location is perfect to resupply for the John Muir Trail

    The AC was absolutely terrible. I did not get any sleep as it was very loud (it turned on very loudly but it instantly shut off and kept repeating every 5 minutes). I should have shut it off all together as it was not working.

    10IndiaPosted on: 9-22-2024

    Great space/location and well equipped for our stay. Great plus of a complimentary breakfast too. Staff are helpful and leave you to it unless you need any help!

    9DanielaPosted on: 7-4-2024

    Really charming roadside motel and friendly staff. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Good breakfast!

    The AC units are a bit old and really loud.

    Beautiful small town, great location.

    No breakfast available, no Mountain View as advertised from the room, the only window pointed to the wall of another cabin.
