The woman that checked us in was very nice however the quality of hotel and room was less than expected. The minute we walked in something was off, it was bad enough to bring in blankets and towels from our car to cover the sheets with. As we started to get ready to sleep, there was 2 spiders crawling on the sheets, after that we decided to check out early and make the drive home through the night.

Very dusty. Very old and in need of upkeep. Elevator sounds like it can break at any time. Lobby doors needed cleaned. Breakfast offered, but Microwaved. Not at all worth the 240+ dollars.

The breakfast was amazing. The drawback was Ac was not circulating well throughout the room so we couldn’t sleep well. The flow of water from taps was good.

Place is dated. I felt like i was in a hospital. I would try to stay elsewhere in the future like Tahoe or Reno. If that’s not possible keep going until you hit Bishop.
