Very nice motel right in between Yosemite National Park and the Death Valley. The owners are very nice and welcoming. Parking is easy even with a large SUV. Rooms are comfy and quiet at night. Exactly what we were looking at during our road trip. Found a nice restaurant in Bishop for dinner.

This is a true gem of a motel! The owners were very friendly and attentive and the room was immaculate. Parking was easy, right in front of your room. The air conditioning worked great and it was a very hot day. There were many extra amenities such as bottled water, snacks, and extra toiletries. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Loved the room. So nice to have a small room off the bedroom with shelves deep enough to hold luggage so your luggage did not need to sit in bedroom. Bedroom had several comfortable chairs and a colorful lovely bedspread. We had the room right next to the office and the closest to the highway. I thought it would be noisy but it was very quiet. Would absolutely stay here again.

Property and bed and furniture were clean and conveniently located. Staff were super nice. Main area was spacious and well appointed, but Bathroom was a little cramped, and bathroom fixtures and shower could benefit from renovation. Front door knob and lock also seemed flimsy. Top security lock was broken.
