The room was great for Thanksgiving, the staff was prompt and friendly. Big Pine is not a large town but there are a few things nearby that make it worth a few days to explore. The room was clean the A/C worked great, 44 degrees outside and 73 in my room. The manager had a nice gift once I was checked in, and the coffee maker (full size) worked great. If you can watch the sunrise, it's better than TV (facing west, trust me). Thank you for a pleasant holiday with my family nearby.

The gentleman at check in was welcoming, friendly. He put a smile on our face. Banana, apple, and a cookie were nice touch. The room was clean. Nice fluffy towels. The only downside is that the bathroom is tiny and tight. Would however stay here again if we visit the area again.

Staff was outstanding. Very friendly. Provided welcome basket with fruit and snacks. Made sure we were settled in the room and knew how everything worked. Offered me a free beer to have with my takeout meal on the motel deck. Room was clean and comfortable with extra toiletries if we needed them. Bathroom was cramped and AC was noisy (which he had warned us about at check in) but otherwise the room was very nice for an economy motel.

Cute and clean

We were backpacking in Big Pines and needed a close place to stay the night before we left. The rooms were clean and cool (it was 95 in Big Pine when we arrived so the AC was welcome). Motel itself was cute & had a resident chicken that we fed before heading in for the night. Host was as nice as they come.
