Great stay! Such a cool little stay to extend our trip.

Front desk (gas station) was a little rushed and curt, check in and check out was a little odd. Overall decent room, and value. Would stay again in a pinch.

It's an average old motel in a small town. Completely adequate. What does one expect?

Super fast check in. They just asked my name and handed me my key. Less than 30 seconds. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Checkin is at the general store in front of the rooms so you can get groceries and snacks as well as fuel all within feet of your room. Also prices room prices are very affordable compared to other locations in Bishop or Independence. I highly recommend

This was a little hole in the wall place with shady electricity. The lights kept flickering giving me a headache. Bed was uncomfortable and walls are thin. The employees at the store were blocking the parking lot exit for hours. I went to bed listening to the neighbors singing. I guess they were helping me fall asleep.

This is a very basic hotel off of the main road through town. The biggest draw is the location --- Big Pine being a gateway to many outdoor hiking areas. The shower was warm, the sheets and towels clean. That's all we needed tonight.

Convenient budget stop between Tahoe and SoCal. Hot water was warm, not hot. Place is clean with comfortable bed. Tasty BBQ walkup business within walking distance.
