Great place in Lone Pine if hiking Whitney

Overall, this place was a great base camp for my day hike up Mt Whitney. The service was excellent, the room was exactly as expected for the money and even had a fridge, and it was close to restaurants/groceries. Highly recommend for someone looking for a well priced room prior to anything in the Whitney Portal!

Great value

Although there was a slight language barrier, all of the information needed, was given quickly and easily found. It’s not a fancy room, but very comfortable and spacious room. I particularly like that all the rooms are on ground floor, with a parking space right in front of the door.

No comfort at the “Budget”

We were staying for the night before a hiking trip and were looking for a basic place to stay, we weren’t expecting much more than basic comforts. However when we arrived to the hotel around 9pm, we entered into a very hot room. We turned the AC unit on and it wasn’t helping much, we slept with no sheets or blankets. The room finally cooled down around 11:30pm. We then discovered lots of hair in our bathroom sink. Next we found the coffee straws were not replaced as they had coffee residue from a previous stay. It was somewhat quiet but for the price we paid, we are expecting more comfortable stay. Won’t be coming here again.

5 stars on the service and 5 stars on the value

We arrived at 4am, and the Hotel front desk treated us as he has agreed on the phone and message: woke up with a big smile and welcomed us to check in. He even rejected our tips for this. The room is specious and bed is comfortable. Things are clean. It has refrige and microwave. We did not expect more than this. 5 stars on the service and 5 stars on the value. It feels good to stay with them. We will book again on this property if we come again!
