We almost didn't stay here based on the many negative reviews on the web, but it was the only motel with a vacancy. We were pleasantly surprised. The very friendly proprietor was very helpful and accommodating. The location was perfect for our visit to the Eastern Sierras and the views from the motel and our room were nice. The beds... more

This hotel is basic, but is in a great location for Mono Lake, Bodie and Yosemite. Two couples stayed two nights at this hotel with plans to get some early time in Yosemite National Park before our reservations in the Park started. However, we enjoyed Mono Lake so much that we spent our spare days with Ranger talks there and... more

We spent only one night in this place, the only good part is the view of the lake. We arrived there at around 23:15 and we found the pillows with some hair and lipstick on and asked the owner if he could change it. He went on saying that everything was clean, that he personally had cleaned that and that... more

We only stayed one night thought it was a bit expensive compared to it's quality. Great view and location. Nice and friendly owner. Room was basic but clean. No pool, no air conditioning, no fridge. Really cool stuff to do round about and beautiful drive to Yosemite. more

Stayed here for one night after coming down from Yosemite. It has a good location in Lee Vining, which is a great little quirky town in a wonderful area, with fabulous views, Mono Lake etc. However, the motel is fairly basic, and was quite old-fashioned and not particularly clean. It was also quite expensive for what it was, but there... more

Like everyone else, we needed a room for one night after seeing Yosemite all day and then going on to Bodie the next morning. I've been to Lee Vining several times but usually camped nearby, this was our first stay in a motel there. My first two choices were sold out on the day we needed, and several others looked... more

We are English (now from New Zealand) and needed to be able to access the internet while we traveled. We specifically chose this place because it advertises Wireless available. Well it wasn't. And when I asked I was completely shocked at the response. There was no apology, or even real explanation. The guy on the desk told me "some people... more

We stopped here for one night on our way to Yosemite. We weren't expecting much, but it was actually pretty nice. Good view, room was comfortable, right across the street from food and a store and coffee. more

Aware of the varying reviews of the motel... Not as bad as made out to be....nice breakfast at the diner across the road... Arrived late (too much to see in Yosemite) and left early to see the Tufas on Mono Lake (which are well worth the stay) - to much to see and do meant the stay was short.....Yes, it... more
