Location to downtown is great. Right in the heart of Bishop.

Old facility, no pool, just a room to sleep for the night.

Decent place to stay. No frills. Close to great restaurants and shops. Large room

The room needs a small table and a couple of chairs. The floor needs to be mopped daily, and feet get dirty walking around it. Since it is a budget hotel, I can't complain too much.
