Got some overflow room behind a laundromat, barebones room. wifi & tv not working, small space heater that couldn't keep the room above 55F, showerhead came flying in my face when trying to take a shower, for 120 a night handsdown the worst place I've stayed

A bare bones motel. I'll deal with the minor complaints for the cheap price: some lights flickered and had to be turned off. Only one restaurant open nearby. No major complaints.

I love this hotel. The store is in the same parking lot so you can get anything you need right there. Easy check in and check out. Plus they have an Apple TV for you to sign in and watch your shows after a long day of hiking.

The room was clean and the check-in staff who are actually at the gas station were helpful. Parts of the room in the bathroom seemed a little worn but the microwave and fridge functioned well and the fan unit was good for blocking out noise.

Staff were friendly and very helpful. Room was very clean. The walls were paper thin and you could hear neighbors VERY easily. If you’re a heavy sleeper, this is your place to go with friendly service and clean rooms. If you’re a light sleeper, choose somewhere else.

It was a quaint no frills stay. My husband and I are backpackers and needed a place to stay before we started the trail in the morning. Staff was incredibly friendly. Room was clean although the bed a tad lumpy. All in all, we enjoyed our stay. We will stay again next time we visit the Eastern Sierras.
