Guest Reviews
- Bradley (7/5): pleasant, quiet, beautiful vista from the back of the room - room location room needed updating
- Marilyn (10/5): I was pleasantly surprised by how nice — and quiet — the place was. Front desk guy was great!!! - Our room was in the back with sliding doors to the outside. Beautiful.
- pcharpentier (8/5): - L'accueil. Nous avons eu une tempête de neige, le radiateur ne fonctionnait pas, nous avons eu froid
- Victor (10/5): Great customer service clean rooms quiet - Location near the river Pool/ jacuzzi not open
- Adrian (9/5): -
- karen (10/5): Beautiful location views if the snowy mountains. Hostess was very helpful about weather, foods, local tourist sites - Location on the river Did not like anything I loved it
- Christine Lusty (10/5): Quaint, clean, and memorable. - The whole facility was so quaint. We loved the back area with the little porch, lawn and barbeque facilities. If it had been a bit warmer we would have taken advantage of the horseshoe pits. The little decks overlooking the river were the perfect place to drink our morning coffee with our books.

- Kelly (10/5): -
- Christina (9/5): Gerne jederzeit wieder - Die Lage ist sehr toll, mit schöner Aussicht. Das Personal war extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir werden gerne jederzeit wiederkommen. Da fällt mir eigentlich nichts ein. Wir waren zufrieden. Wir waren enttäuscht, dass die Straße nach Bodie gesperrt war, aber dafür kann das Hotel nichts.
- Richard (10/5): -
- Irina (10/5): Will stay again - Rooms are very spacious , spa is nice
- Al (7/5): Nice rustic place in a pretty setting - The room was rustic but it worked. Thought the bathroom was great as it has been remodeled. Shower was nice. There is very little to choose from in Bridgeport this time of year. Basically, there were two motels available and one restaurant. This motel seems to be a better deal than the other one. But finding something to eat in March was a challenge
- Jacqueline (10/5): Very good - Excellent
- mark (10/5): -
- Brian (8/5): Great place for base camp - Old school feel always stay here in n winter and spring to snowboard nearby areas
- Pavel (10/5): -

- Ingrid (10/5): Awesome - My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at the Walker River Lodge. Our room was true to the description, clean and comfortable with gorgeous mountain & river views. Roxanne was very accommodating and gave us great tips! We’ll be back for sure !!
- Shawn (10/5): -
- Bill (9/5): AWESOME - Loved out door areas. Great location. Clean. The people. Had everthing we needed. No complaints
- Peter (10/5): Excellent, safe and friendly. - Coming home from Lake Tahoe, reserved it en route and the staff was so helpful. The little town was beautiful with friendly folks everywhere. This place was far better than other cities motels, hotels and resorts. Will definitely be a patron again.
- Lou (9/5): -
- Hugh (9/5): -
- Tami (10/5): Check-in was easy and staff very friendly. - Cute interior and very clean Pillows very flat and would be nice to have a foam topper on mattress.
- Francisco (9/5): Endless excellence. - Motorcycle ride over Tioga!
- Thomas (9/5): Perfect stop on a hwy 395 roadtrip - It was a one night stay on a little road trip. Easy parking, very friendly staff. Room was clean and good sized with patio doors out the back to a small deck, grassy lawn and view to the east of the mountains. There's a good Mexican restaurant right across the street. Bathroom was a little small, but it was clean and everything worked well.

- Sophie (7/5): - Great location in Bridgeport. Room was very clean, warm, with very easy access to the car. Reception staff was helpful and friendly. We thought we'd booked a river view room, but we didn't get it. The room is quite small, so space was tight, but we made it work. We unfortunately had lukewarm showers both nights.
- Crystal (10/5): - We LOVE this place! Try to make it every year ❤️ ⛰️ The lady that works the front desk is so always so nice ☺️
- Angel (8/5): New relationships - The personal was very friendly Nothing

- Gary (9/5): -
- Joy Naomi (6/5): - Zimmer sehr gross und bequeme Betten. Parkplatz gratis und der Pool war schön. Unsere Buchung wurde zuerst nicht gefunden. Wir haben dann mit Aufpreis ein grösseres Zimmer genommen. Als wir eingerichtet waren kam die Besitzerin und klärte die Situation auf. Wir blieben aber im teureren Zimmer. Schaut gut darauf, dass ihr beim Einchecken die Buchung findet. Sehr teuer für das was es war. Kein Salz in der Küche…
- Louis (10/5): - Great place to stay
- linda (8/5): -
- David Wayne (10/5): -
- Leandro (10/5): - very good. I stay at this hotel every year
- keith (8/5): Room was clean and quiet, OK value - Room was clean, quiet Coffee pot in room had not been cleaned and had a stale used filter from a previous guest
- Dan395 (10/5): The best multiple night motel stay I've ever had in the Eastern Sierra. -
- Diane (8/5): Perfect location for exploring Highway 395 - Location
- Robert (10/5): -
- Susan (10/5): - Yes. Our dog enjoyed the fenced yard and the parking was good
- diana (10/5): Nice basic rooms. - Nice basic room. River view. Would stay again. Lady at front desk was very kind.
- Hillary (10/5): - We loved it. Roxy at the front was very welcoming. Room was spacious, loved the whole back area. There were signs about pets so i assume pet friendly but we didnt travel with any, just children.
- Neda (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and informative. Clean room and easy parking.
- denise (10/5): Riverview king was worth it. - Really comfy and enjoyable. Tbh the carpet smells a little musty, but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay. Our "riverview king" had a little table & chairs, and a nice reading chair inside, and patio chairs for extra chill. Comfy new bed & bedding.
- Tom (6/5): 3-day stay at Walker Lodge Inn - Left 1 x day early as: no hot water on morning after driving 450mi to Bridgeport. Was informed there would be no help after 10pm….as a matter of course. PTAC was too noisy to operate. Toilets are old, don’t flush well and are too low for most male adults. Lots of flies in my room and bed is ridged in the middle. In other words, the mattress needs to be flipped or replaced. Lots of outside noise at 0205 from either a motorcycle or quad bike roaring up and down Main St. Quiet after several Police cars turned up. Sign outside says “Voted best motel in California”…….my big, fat foot!
- Darren (10/5): Comfy stay - Checking in with simple and easy and the lady was really nice. Gave me great information of like where to eat. The place is pretty nice. It’s comfy definitely old school, but it is a motel, but it’s pleasant and a nice back patio area.
- Pascal (9/5): -
- Karen (9/5): Very nice and safe. Roxanne is a people person and told me where I could find some fall colors. - Roxanne was so friendly when I checked in. I could park my truck right in front of my room. Very nice little room. The TV is off to the side of the room and could not be moved. Kinda hard to watch TV from the bed or the breakfast table.
- Phil (3/5): It was probably not the the worst motel in California - The back deck of the unit was quiet with comfortable Adirondack chairs The unit smelled of urine with an attempt to cover it up with cleaner. The air conditioning unit didn’t work. Thankfully the windows opened and we were able to air the unit out for a few hours. It made the odour tolerable.
- Joel (9/5): -
- Jeremy (10/5): -
- john (8/5): -
- Keith (10/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): - Clean room. Quiet.
- Paul (10/5): It lives up to its claim of being the best. - Great place to stay. The lady at the front desk was excellent with regards to checking in, the area in general, where to get good food and so on. The room faced a river and had a large grassy space to go out and walk around on. The Lodge is at the south end of Bridgeport and is the perfect place to go out and explore the town from. There is a really well maintained pool too, should anyone need to cool off.
- Xavier (8/5): Bonne étape pour dormir avant d’aller à Yosémite - Bonne étape avant d’entré sur le Parc de Yosémite. Le Motel est typique avec les baies vitrées et séjours qui donnent sur les prairies c’est très sympa Ville où il n’y a rien à faire, c’est une zone dortoir qui permet d’accéder au parc national de Yosémite.

- Marianne (10/5): -
- Daniele (7/5): -
- Kari (9/5): Absolutely peaceful, scenic and beautiful. - The setting is gorgeous! Loved the lawn access and the outdoor deck in the afternoons for sunset, just so pretty. No breakfast set up. Would have loved the basics for a nice continental grab & go. Even fresh coffee fixings and granola bars or to-go fruit would have been amazing. The front Desk Gal is fantastic! Loved her sense of humor!
- Both (10/5): -
- van Gulik (8/5): - Prima kamer en bedden Geen ontbijd
- Andrew (9/5): -
- Elisabeth (9/5): Superbe séjour au calme - Superbe endroit, au bord de la rivière. La dame est très sympathique. Logement confortable pour 5, spacieux, avec une pièce salon et divan-lit. Agréable piscine et jacuzzi. Très calme. Rien, tout était bien, peut-être un peu cher.
