This classic motel was recently remodeled so the interiors are new. It is close to the street, so there is some street noise. It is a short walk to the Mono Lake Comittee store, Lee Vining market and Nicely's Restaurant. I really enjoyed staying. The bed was very comfortable.

Everything was perfect. We will be booking our next stay very soon. Room was clean, location was perfect, heat in the room was good, beds were comfortable. I wish we would have been able to lower the blinds in addition to closing the drapes. Parking was good. We did not interact with staff, but loved the check in process.

What a wonderful little motel with a small town feel! Nice adjoining rooms for our party of 4. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were huge and shower was amazing. Grateful for the ice machine around the side. Only issue we had was the remote wasn't working. Would definitely stay again!

No staff on hand at check-in. Had a question about the heat and used an intercom system to get answers. Our room was too close to the street with heavy semi and construction truck traffic.

We stayed 2 nights at this motel. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The air conditioning unit worked very well. When we came back for our second night our room was spotless. The TV /Dish Network worked pretty well but remote unpaired. We had our own devices and was easy to connect to their wifi, so the remote was not a big deal but was happy to find it working well when we returned. It's a self serve check in check out which worked well for us. The location was very convenient for our visit to Bodie, Mono Lake and Yosemite. I would choose to stay here again.

We stayed here after our trip through Yosemite Park and on our way back to Las Vegas. The location was perfect for that. It's a tiny motel and yet had everything we needed. The room was clean and everything worked as it should. Check-in was as complicated as plucking an envelope with my last name off of a clipboard. Lee Vining is an interesting town, especially considering it's in the exact middle of nowhere. There were several places to eat and both Bodie Mike's and Nicely's were excellent. Go see Mono Lake. Pro tip: Book a higher numbered room to be away from the road. Route 395 is about 10 feet from Room 1, and there are quite a few trucks travelling at warp factor seven at night. I can sleep through that. My wife cannot.

This hotel is in a wonderful location, close to Yosemite and Mono Lake. The property looks well taken care of. Comfy bed and very soft and fluffy towels. Only problem was it is on a main highway and there was a lot of traffic and truck noise all night.

It is a small roadside motel in a small mountain community, set your expectations accordingly. I stayed 5 nights, it was clean, convenient, and I slept comfortably. I used it as a home base for photography and sightseeing. No issues. Would stay there again!

This is a very small hotel with about 12 rooms. The room was recently updated. They had a stand alone air conditioner which works great. Refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker are on a counter with room to make sandwiches etc. there is also a cupboard. There are chairs and tables outside your room to relax. Showers are large and nice. The toilet area is a little tight but the shower makes up for it. The room and parking sitting area was clean. They leave keys on a clip outside and return key drop is under it. If you have questions they have a ring doorbell to talk on. The office is across the street but we never needed them. I would stay here again.

Cute motel. Very clean. The road and guests next door can easily be heard. Parking is a problem. Not the hotels fault but bring your own food, nothing in the area after 8pm and motel room doesn’t have a fridge.

There was a dead spider on my bed. There’s also no cell phone service at all in this town. They have WiFi. Everything closes at 8pm or earlier. Easy room access. Check in and check out were very easy. Room was clean for the most part and beds were somewhat comfortable.
