Checking in was easy and it was nice to have the gas station, general store, and food options in a walkable distance. The neigborhood was cute and quaint during our evening walks with our pup.

The room had all the amenities that i needed. The bathroom was super clean and the bath products were great quality and easy to access. It was nice and convenient that the general store was part of the campus. I was very happy to park my car right outside the room! It gave me peace of mind! I had a great time there!

Good basic accommodations. Clean, quiet, slept well. Price was right. Next to a gas station/convenience store that checks you in and out. I camped the next night up in Bristlecone Park and the gas station has rental showers so I could clean up the next morning after camping.

Our one night stay here was completely fine but I was glad we got here before dark and were walked to the unit because I would have been so confused trying to find it on my own! (It was in back by what appeared to be apartments.) Check-in is at the gas station and was easy to do. Our unit was super clean, easy to figure out, like finding the light switches, and everything worked but the TV. I appreciated being able to cook supper and breakfast. As expense as the gas was here I shudder to think what we would have paid to eat at a local restaurant. My only recommendation is to fix the screen doorm

Fooled by the reviews. This place is old.
Was fooled by the positive reviews… I stayed one night and it was fine, but it’s an old sort of rundown place that needs a lot of upgrades. The bed wasn’t very comfy. The sheets and towels had stains on them. The bathtub was filled with hair to the point it didn’t drain well. The pillows had the plastic coverings on them. The walls had gunk on them. I never felt unsafe though which is good but honestly would’ve been worth it to stay somewhere else. I tried to tell the manager about these things but he couldn’t look me in the eye and give me an answer he basically just said I have to live with it. Check out the spots in Bishop or the Starlight Motel instead.

Called ahead due to late arrival and person who answered was very friendly and let me know they would have the room ready and communicated clearly what I would need to do upon arrival. Everything worked out properly. Wish I could have stayed longer!
