- Maheshwari (6/5): -
- Jason (10/5): - The room exceeded our expectations. The staff was very friendly and the property itself was walking distance from almost everywhere we went, including a very cool bowling place. Overall, our stay was exceptional.
- Steven (9/5): Great stay, even better location - Great location, clean with large rooms and easy check in
- Henry (8/5): - Great location Pool was cold š„¶
- Martin (7/5): -
- Michelle (9/5): Delightful family run motel! - Location off main road. Delightful old motel with so many helpful amenities in small space. Fridge, 2 comfy beds, allowed dogs, able to walk to park and restaurants. Would stay again. The TV sounds was crackly.
- dawn (7/5): -
- MJ (1/5): Unpleasantly outdated. - Nothing There are so many motels in Bishop and I've stayed at many different motels every winter, this motel was so far the worst. The motel standard is sub below. Overused carpet, kitchen, bathroom. Failed to maintain the most basic up-to-date maintenance for guests. It appears that the owner just doesn't care. The room smelled like cigarettes. Pretty much everything is beyond outdated. Just unpleasant to stay even one night. I'm sorry but your motel needs remodeling urgently. This motel is severely rundown.

- Patrick (9/5): -
- Judy (5/5): Ok for one or 2 nights - Good location for visiting the park. Staff was friendly enough, especially Joe the bartender. I didnāt realize there is no TV, internet wasnāt great but ok for being in the middle of nowhere, lol. Not sure how clean the carpet was in the room.
- Patrick (9/5): Quick and quiet - Clean and quiet off the Main Street. Nothing
- Rebecca (9/5): - Quiet rooms. Easy access to vehicle with parking in front of room.
- Casey (8/5): -
- Jocelyn (8/5): - Very comfortable beds, plus Pool and small grassy picnic area were nice. Parking was a bit tight for our midsized truck, but we always had a spot.
- Deborah (10/5): - Nice & quiet, downtown Bishop. Itās like a walk back in time, as itās an older facility, but it was clean, comfortable, and the price is very good value.
- Marshall (8/5): - Check in and check out were super easy. Loved the location and view. Facilities were fully functioning and room was clean. Overall, very quaint and cozy! I wished the pool was heated like it was advertised. I also think that the windows should have better locks for safety.
- Casandra (10/5): -
- Roy (8/5): - Nice big rooms, very helpful staff, convenient location
- Susanna (10/5): -
- Tzipora (7/5): -
- Kevin (6/5): If you are doing recreation and the bishop/Mammoth area, it is a great location with a very streamlined, check-in an - Great location, easy parking, easy self check-in process, easy to walk to area, restaurants, and we were able to control the heat in our room. The bed seemed quite old, springy, and not comfortable. The kitchen was not well supplied. A few non-matching plates and random utensils thrown in a drawer. The bathroom smelled quite bad. I believe it was the smell coming up from the plumbing. The smell did get better when we left the bathroom fan running nonstop and put the plug-in air freshener in there. The blinds in the kitchen were dirty and broken, which just seemed to give it a very rundown feeling every time I stood at the sink. One of the two chairs at the dining table was broken and unsafe to sit in.
- Kim (7/5): -
- Chela (10/5): Quite cute little motel 5 star for sure - Quite clean and more bang for your buck. The staff was excellent and everything was handled online made for an easy check-in and out. Everything it was perfect
- Randy (10/5): -
- Smith (9/5): - Clean rooms and friendly!
Service. A hidden Gem!
- Elle Gemma (9/5): -
- Alisa (8/5): Great value stay in Bishop. - We stayed in room 14. It was very private and more than large enough for two people, with a king bed in the main room and a full bed in the entry room
- Patrick (10/5): -
- Charles (10/5): Clean, comfortable, easy and easy out. Good value. - Itās not a five star four star. Itās a nice little clean hotel and the bed was comfortable. It suited us for exactly what we needed a good night sleep it was quiet and the shower has great water pressure.
- Jennifer Roberts (9/5): Great family-owned and vintage value motel. Centrally located. - Stayed here many times. Beds are very comfortable and rooms are very clean. Family owned hotel with kitchenette. Centrally located and able to walk everywhere. Feels like a safe neighborhood. Owners live on site. Pool!!!

- Jia (8/5): -
- Joshua (5/5): We liked the location, but sadly were pretty uncomfortable because of the condition of the room. - The location was excellent and my children liked the pool The room was dirty in the corners, the carpet was badly stained and needed replaced, there was mold in the shower, the room was badly in need of an update, the bathroom door did not shut, the shower leaked lots of water onto the floor. Generally it felt like the hotel should not have rented out this room before a thorough renovation.
- Conrad (6/5): - Nicht in erster Reihe zur HauptstraĆe, nahe zur Erick Schatās BƤckerei. Nur 2 Betten für 5 Personen keine separate Couch. Heizung machte sehr laute GerƤusche
- Yulia (8/5): -
- Steph (10/5): - We love vintage motels and find the āpatina of ageā to be charming and this one doesnāt disappoint. From the (working!) classic neon sign to the mismatched coffee mugs we loved it! The bed was comfy, the fridge sizable, and the hostess Adriana so welcoming and helpful.
- kara (10/5): -
- Adrian (1/5): Outdated and overpriced! stay away! - it was the only option left this place is soooo dated it's terrible! everything is just like 40 years ago. except of course the price! around USD 140 for a sh*-hole like that!
if they would charge USD 30 like when it was built, it would be just ok, at least for the value! just about everything needs to be updated at this place.
if you can't drive anymore... stay at bishop. if you can, drive through and never look back!
- Jarrod (7/5): We made great memories during our stay - Location Parking. Tight with a full size truck
- Franklin (7/5): Peaceful location off Main Street. Bathroom could use some updating - - contactless check-in and checkout
- good, secured wifi
- comfortable bed
- room big enough for 2 chairs
- In addition to the king bed, there is a queen in a separate room
- electric heater in room for cooler/cold nights
- Heated pool - 2 large cob webs in the room
- the bathroom needs updating although it is fully functional with plenty of towels and hot water. See photo
- Sjaarda (10/5): -
- Maite (8/5): - La piscina y la ubicación cerca de todos los restaurantes
- Eugene (3/5): It was not what I expected from reading the reviews. - The room had the basic items. This room is not what we expected and it seemed to not like we used booking.com to book the room. We thought the room had a bath tub, but no shower only and a very small bathroom and a toilet made for a child. The bed was a n old double bed. They gave us one paper cup for coffee. They told us the made would come every other day. She never came. A big piece of meat was left in the refrig. They left us a dirty sponge to wash the dishes. The picture on the site does not match our room. The WiFi stunk and they advertise fast wifi. We stayed in room 14.
- BRIAN (9/5): -
- Tracey (7/5): Cozy and comfortable. Great for families. - Great little family run motel. Clean. We were in a two BR unit and it was comfy. Second bedroom could use a fan. I had to buy one to keep the temp tolerable.
FYI the bathroom in our unit (the toilet space) is not suitable for larger folks, it was very narrow.
- Steph (9/5): Gemütlich - Der Retro Style
- Paul (7/5): Clean, Older style Inn - The room was very clean and there were plenty of towels. Pool was clean and well stocked with fresh and clean towels. Wi-Fi was fast and responsive. The rooms, while clean, are dated. There are not enough outlets to plug in laptops, cell phone chargers, etc. Some light fixtures had to be switched on/off at the light fixture itself (bathroom over sink light fixture)
- Harry (8/5): -
- Myriam (7/5): Okey - aber nicht zu zweit in einem Studio - Die Lage im Zentrum, jedoch nicht direkt an der Durchgangsstrasse war super. Angenehmer Pool. Wir hatten ein Studio (ich würde ein anderes Mal auf jeden Fall eine Kategorie Familiy XY buchen!). Das Bett für zwei Personen war winzig, ziemlich durchgelegen. Vielleicht 120 oder 130 cm? Sobald sich eine Person beweg hat, knarzte und schaukelte es. Das Bad war sehr klein. Die Klimaanlage extrem laut und hat direkt ins Bett geblasen. An Schlaf war kaum zu denken.
Die Küchenausstattung war eher spärlich, bot z.B. nur eine Müslischale, zwei Plastikbecher, etc.
- Richard (5/5): Spacious room, but not in great shape. - We stayed in one of the family suites with a kitchen (room 15). We appreciated the spacious room (large main room with kitchen, 2nd bed in a separate bedroom). The air conditioning and ventilation worked well, there was plenty of hot water, lighting was adequate, and there was a parking spot within 2 feet of the door. The property sent us the key code for the door ahead of time, which made it easy to check in anytime. The room was complete with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. The room we stayed in was in an older building which is not in great shape. The floors were squeaky and a bit uneven, the carpet was stained, there was a lot of dirt around the floorboards. The shower was so narrow that it was almost impossible to bend down to pick up a fallen bar of soap or to touch your feet. The beds were lumpy and uncomfortably soft. The cover for the box spring in the 2nd bedroom was stained. Finally, we were kept awake at times by noise from an adjoining room.

- CƩline (9/5): -
- John (5/5): Passable - The room was much smaller than expected. The bathroom was really small.
- Kris (9/5): This place is a gem - Sweet motel with a magical
pool. Loved the stocked kitchenette. Perfect post-hike place to rest and recover!
- David (5/5): Expensive for what you get - The Pool Reception seldom available
Cleaned only once on 5 days
No laundry
- Arnis (9/5): Superb -
- Cynthia (10/5): Fun time! - A quiet mid century style motor court. We were traveling with our adult daughter so was thrilled to see a separate bedroom in the hotel room. Loved the keyless entry which required no official check in or check out. Very close to everything in town. Wet unique stay.
- Derry (8/5): Perfect - The room was clean and very close to everything Pool could have been a little warmer
- Martz (9/5): It was great for the price. I would definitely go back. - Easy and easy out. Cool mid 50s America feel with great neon signage.
- Carol (3/5): Disappointed in shabby, old, outdated facility. - Manager was very nice and helpful. Shabby facility - old. Like 1950ās old - . Had bad allergic reaction - could not breath. Usually mold triggers it. Parking cramped. Not enough electrical outlets. Way overpriced - expected much more.
- lisapW9373LX (4/5): Avoid - The studio I rented had a door facing an alley. As it happens in summer the temps were 95 degrees when I checked in. At the door the temps were radiating 105 degrees. I shoved the dog in and rapidly loaded the bags in the room. Tough to find a shaded parking place. Very little shade in the area. There is only one window of any size facing west. The shades were lame, didnāt keep sun and heat out so I put up a blanket. The studio is small but has a working frig/cooler and a/cFor $ 175 all in I do not view this as a good value at all! If you book, clarify where your room is. There are probably better options than the room I was given.
- Darren (9/5): Great location and the added bonus of a pool to cool off after a hot day - Great location, friendly staff and a pool to cool off after a hot day Air conditioning was very noisy and did lead to a poor nights sleep, otherwise I would have rated Comfort as a 10
- Sandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shelley (10/5): Great! Thanks! - The staff..front desk gal was soooo nice and helpful!
- Gilma (7/5): Good -
- Bryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Russell (8/5): I would stay here again as a single traveler. - It's great that the room has a kitchen! Nice way to save some money on food. The pool came in handy too on hot days. The air conditioner worked really well. The code to get in the room didn't work when I arrived, so I had to bug the gal in the office for a new one. She seemed distracted and busy with other things, but she took care of me. I think she was handling being understaffed and hey it's a small town so I don't get miffed at little things like that, but it's worth mentioning for other travelers.
The toilet seat was not clean when I arrived. A quick swipe with a tissue solved that, but is inexcusable. Again, I get it...small town, understaffed, etc., but that's a sanitary issue and needs to be addressed.
Also, the room is small. That's fine as a single traveler, but if I was with someone it would have been cramped.
- Deena (8/5): Very good -
- Ron (8/5): Independent motel with manager and cleaners who solve issues quickly. - Quiet, off the Main Street. Vintage style, like the all metal kitchen cabinets, yet had upgrades like plank flooring. Good heating from wall heater. Lots of space. Weather turned cold and windy, so the heated swimming pool slid off my to-do list.
Enough dishes and utensils in the kitchen for 2.
- David (7/5): Good -
- T (8/5): Very good - Got room number and key code by email, Never had to interact with any staff. Easy Room a little on small side, but perfect for 1 night.
- Janet (5/5): Passable -
- Rod (8/5): Very good - Nice No jacuzzi
- Dotson (8/5): Very good - The toilet is too close to the wall.
