This hotel is a historic place. Location is excellent with an adjacent restaurant, and lots of options in walk distance. Pool was lovely. Appreciated the AC, and also the extra blanket, as I felt chilly at night. Staff were accommodating.

The spa/pool is available 24/7. Nice after a hike or if doing Mt Whitney you can soak even if you get back at 2am! They have complementary coffee, and community living room for watching tv or playing games. I stayed in the historic Dow Village hotel with my own bathroom. The price is reasonable.

The staff was friendly although, the pool was unavailable. I had no idea I booked a room without a bathroom. The saving grace is that my room was upgraded to include a bathroom.

The hotel was wonderful, especially for a historical place. Really enjoyed my stay. I would've given the hotel 5 stars had if not been for the swing shift Front Desk agent. I don't know her name as she didn't wear a name tag. She had a bad attitude from the point I walked in and said, "Hello." The rest of the staff was good.

Nice older property. I mistakenly booked a room without a shower or toilet. I was assured that the public bath would not be busy and that was true. Nice and clean. I will return but definitely will insist on a ground floor room - the stairs for this 82 year old with luggage was very difficult and no elevator. Still, enjoyed the hotel

Liked: Cleanliness
I generally love the old-fashioned side of the Dow, and my room was comfortable and clean, but the fact that the shower runs from cold to scalding off and on as you shower is disqualifying. Also, I needed to briefly use a plug-in hair tool to get ready, and there was not a plug anywhere near a mirror.

Make sure you know what you're booking: the Economy rooms in the old Villa do not have bathrooms or showers en suite. (I did know that.) If you're looking for a cowboy-culture rustic vibe and a cheap place to stay, Dow Villa fits the bill--there's John Wayne (and other cowboy film) memorabilia all over. There are no mini-fridges, microwaves or coffeemakers in the rooms, but there is decent coffee available from very early morning in the lobby. Wifi is good, AC maybe less so. But the place is over 100 years old. The exterior is picturesque and the lobby, which is stocked with games, books, a computer and comfy furniture is charming. Pool and hot tub are nice. Location is central to Lone Pine, which is pretty small and outside of its Whitney Portal status, doesn't have much going on.

The room was clean but there was ambiguity about the community bathroom situation. We were not prepared. Other than that, it was quiet and peaceful.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The lobby is lovely, with all the actors’ pictures from Western movies, the room and bed were very comfortable, and the temperature in the room was perfect. I stayed before a hiking trip, which happened to take place at the same time as Badwater Ultramarathon, and there was a very exciting and enjoyable vibe at the hotel and in town. I will come back.

A real gem. A Piece of western history. I love staying here. I stayed in the older part of the hotel. The room was small, but very quaint and comfortable. I watched westerns on the tv. I slept well. The room was very clean.

Part of the hotel is "historic." Be prepared to take some compromises in stride.
