Lake View Lodge is situated right off Hwy 395 and just outside of Lake Mono, so convenience was great. The area is quiet and late check-in was much appreciated since we didn’t get in until 11pm. The cons were a springy bed that wasn’t very comfortable and the sinks were unusually high, making it difficult to use.
