Although its architecture and layout makes it looks like a old seedy motel from the exterior, we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in to what appeared to be a recently renovated room. It even had a fresh paint smell. The furniture, linens, & fixtures are modern and the room was very clean. The bed was comfortable and the ceiling fan made for a good night’s sleep. Within a half block is a good breakfast restaurant, decent but pricy bbq, and a minimart. The town doesn’t have much else to offer but the sunset was gorgeous over mono lake and can be seen from the parking lot. The downsides were the highway noise though traffic greatly diminished between 11pm-7am. (We couldn’t hear the other guests unless they were talking outside the room. )We wish there were EV chargers. Otherwise this motel was a great find. We would stay here again.

This is a modest little motel, still being remodeled. It's right on 395 so lots of trucks coming by early in the morning. The room was fine and the bathroom good. The cleaning products they use have a very strong smell and lingered throughout the night. Glad it was clean but the smell gave me a headache. If you want cheap and don't mind traffic and cleaning products, it's a fine place to stay.

Unfortunately, no air conditioner and it was hot at night. Opening the windows will let the noise in. But it was a nice place to stay overall

No A/C! It was super hot when we stayed end of May. Also no hot water in the morning shower. Microwave didn’t work either. It’s a pretty well maintained older property on highway 395 so road noise could be an issue if light sleeper.

Great room. Didn’t have high expectations with it being a hotel in a very small, isolated town but this far exceeded my expectations. The room was very clean, cozy, and in a great spot right next to a cute cafe. Definitely recommend staying here!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The first room they put me had a poor quality interior door for the outside entrance. It was flimsy and the latch on it wasn't even screwed in securely. It was on a back street and I had to park my truck on the street. There was no one there but there was a worn paper on the office door directing me to go to the hotel across the street. I told them I didn’t feel safe and why. It took calling the owner to get a room there. It was minimally better because it was on a main thoroughfare and I propped a chair against the back door.
