The eastern Sierra motor Lodge was the perfect place for us to spend the night. The location was good. We were able to walk into town for dinner at Glenn‘s taco truck and then walked to cowboy coffee in the morning. Both I highly recommend. I loved the snacks in the room. Spent the evening sitting out front in the Adirondack chairs visiting with a few other guests. Would definitely stay again.

Self check in with keypad made the stay amazing! The room was clean and cozy. There was a little gift basket with snack, drinks, and ear plugs. The motel is right off the hwy and you can hear the big rigs down shift as they come into town. Great stay and would stay again!
