I stayed here for 6 days while hiking Big Pine Lakes and visiting the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. The location is excellentāquiet, clean, and perfectly positioned for outdoor exploration without the bustle of Bishop. If you're looking for peace, proximity, and a clean room with a decent bathroom, this motel delivers.
However, donāt expect a traditional hospitality experience. The motel is run out of a gas station, and while the setup may be efficient for the owner, it lacks the professionalism you'd expect from a hospitality-focused property. The on-site office isnāt used, and staff interactions variedāsome were courteous, others clearly untrained in guest service. A gas station clerk simply isnāt equipped to manage guest expectations.
Overall, Iād give it a B. For my hiking-focused trip, it met my needs. But if customer service and hospitality matter to you, this may not be the right fit.
