Our group of four Harley tourers from Australia, Canada and The US, stopped in at the Dow in June 2011 for an overnight stay on our ride between Las Vegas and Yosemite.. Unbeknown to us another group of bikers were also booked in for their annual visit, and it was their 16th return I think.. High praise indeed for a... More

I have stayed.here 2-3 times and the AAA price was $67.00.....much better than Bishop hotels. The beds in the motel rooms are extremely comfortable and the room is very clean. I am through here once a month and this is my favorite!!! More

I've stayed at the Motel several times, breaking up the long trip down 395 but decided to stay in the Hotel this time. I love old hotels and this one has some virtues....but....in December my room was so cold we needed a space heater...and the mismatched furniture and decorations looked like a bad college apt. We congregated in the living... More

We internet booked the Dow Villa Motel on the basis of TA reviews and were glad we did. Changed our dates by phone with no problem once we landed in California. Stayed one night on the start of our Sierra trip mid September. Our upstairs room was large, comfortable and clean, and we slept very well despite the noisy air... More

Dow Villa is a cute little motel in a cute little town. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed staying here so much if it was somewhere in a big city, but in a western town like Lone Pine it is perfect. Crazy floral bedding, fake flowers and the loudest air conditioner ever were features. But the bed was comfy, there was... More

This is probably our 5th time at the Dow. We come to Lone Pine once a year in the winter and since our cabin is snowed in we always stay here. The rooms and property is always clean. Free coffee, ice and wifi. Restaurants are all within walking distance and it is a great location in town. Will stay here... More

Drove through the whole town, a half mile of stores and motels, nice to have them all part if the downtown, not out like Comfort Inn and Best Western. This was an older place but very well presented and clean. Rooms have very new looking spreads and furniture. A chair and small table by window gave me a place to... More

My first impressive trip to Lone Pine and opted to stay in the motel. The hotel & motel is ideally situated in the historic and quaint old western town with US-395 running right through it. Local restaurants and shops are in close walking distance. Motel room was adequately maintained, clean and the staff were friendly. Would stay here again but... More

This is the 2nd time we've opted for the "historic" (i.e. older and cheaper) side of the hotel and have not been disappointed. Great value, comfortable rooms with a historic appeal as opposed to a chain hotel. Very clean. Friendly staff. More
