The room was very comfortable and clean. My only request would be for the winter months to provide an extra blanket. The heater took a while to properly heat up the room. I very much enjoyed my stay. Will be coming back soon!

Perfect for an easy over night

Super easy checking in/ check out process. The property is older but clean and comfortable and has been nicely updated. Perfect for a quick over night before heading up into the Eastern Sierra for a backpacking trip. Highly recommend.

They tried hard in an old motel. Nice new linens, free snacks, still had a smoky old Motel Smell But again, they tried hard to cover up and I applaud the effort.
