It's tough to beat the location of this motel. It is right on the banks of the Kern River. The property is definitely showing it's age, but the room was clean and the beds were comfortable.

The accommodations are well situated in the middle of town and make it easy to walk to any place for eating, etc. The rooms and property are representative of the price point. I had no problem with it. I do like the fact that you have a small private beach and courtyard, and the doors of each room open out away from the street. Would stay here again.

Room was clean and comfortable. Very relaxing sitting on the patio and watching the river. Parking was easy for a couple motorcycles. Large vehicles might struggle, but maybe they have alternate space I didn't see. Literally no contact with other than check-in. I am sure they were around if needed.
