Quaint motel at a very reasonable price- great for hikers looking to resupply and take an off day. The couple that runs the place are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable. We will be back!

Just Like Family

We were greeted like family upon arrival which is special after a long driving day. Geeta shared the brief story of how they turned this vintage motel into an extremely comfortable and updated room. Highly recommend this motel.

The owner greeted us and was a really nice lady. The family room was exactly as described with 3 comfortable beds. It also had a small fridge and dining table. There is a small bench outside the door to enjoy the weather and air. This is a great central option to Lone Pine and Bishop.
