First issue, they are renovating the first floor for which I have no issue. The problem? You need to post that online BEFORE folks make reservations. I have mobility issues and there is no elevator. I had to drag my heavy luggage up narrow stairs...very painful. Second issue, problems with their key cards...lots of trouble getting into my room with the digital key cards. Very frustrating. Third issue: their pool is closed in the middle of the hot summer. Post that online BEFORE folks visit and book on your website! Even if it's only temporarily closed. Fourth issue, the water was turned off for over 2 hours during the middle of the day for maintenance. Very inconvenient! Lone Pine is a beautiful little town with charming restaurants but not sure if I can recommend this hotel based on my most recent experience.

They went over and beyond to making sure I had every need was met during my stay . I stopped in for one night. I ended up staying six days. I explored the beauty in the area. The majority of me staying that long had everything to do with the staff at the hotel, no joke !! So if you're ever in the area and you're looking for accommodations, I would highly recommend staying at the Quality Inn in Lone Pine. I made some very dear friends there and will be traveling back every year for my quiet time after spending weeks time at our family home in Tahoe. On my way home from our families vacation, it is absolutely necessary to take some alone time, in nature to find my peace! Many blessings folks, you will find peace and the beautiful area. You will find kindness in their staff. See y'all soon

On the downside: Our cabin was small, not a lot of space to move around. There was some traffic noise from highway 395 which abated overnight. The place had a friendly vibe of cyclists, hikers, and outdoorsy folks. We will be back!

But as SOON as I walked into the room (#4), I was smitten. There is a palpable 'peace' here. It had everything we wanted; a CLEAN spotless room, coffee maker, fridge, microwave, peace and quiet, quality cotton sheets AND a mesmerizing 50s TIME WARP! Bottled water, and other treats were also available. There is a resident, skunk named 'Princess', who pals around with the local cats at night. She has never sprayed anyone (said the departing 'Music Club' members. . . they ought to know, right?). Then after being informed, the HIGHLIGHT of my stay, was IMMEDIATELY seeing her at the bottom of the stairs! When she caught me staring at her, she scampered under the pool fence & disappeared into the garden. . . Soooo cute! I would come back in a heartbeat. . . JUST to see Princess! ;)

We thought it sounded like a good idea so we packed up camp and headed up there for breakfast as well. Well after a night of camping, we were hungry and this place did not disappoint! You wouldn't think this place has food, it looks like a small souvenir/general store. But they do! They serve you pipin' hot food! It's a small menu, but so satisfying, especially after a long hike! We ordered: - Hashbrown combo, comes with 3 eggs, toast and a choice of meat, we ordered the bacon. They were the yummy fat strips.... so good! ($10.00) - 1 pancake (it's enough to feed a party of 4) Mr. Texas was not joking about the pancakes! It was huge!! So if you are starving, go order a pancake, you won't be hungry for a month lol. They also have free wifi, it's a bit slow, but it's better than nothing! Really pretty spot to eat a meal, there's a waterfall nearby. It's at the start of the Whitney Trail, so if you get off that trail early enough, this is a great spot to grab a hot meal!

REVIEW FOR SHOWERS ONLY - rest of place looks good…read more Two of us took showers. In mine, there was no place to put clothes except 2 tiny, small shaky hooks on door and wall. No floor mat; no bench (a must); no place to put towel; no place to put clean clothes; no place to put anything; floor all wet after shower (bare feet on god-knows-what). Shower aimed at open curtain so HAD to get into shower lest everything got sprayed before temperature was adjusted. After shower, ZERO ventilation so worse than a sauna - instant sweat. Also, HIGHEST price of all options along Hwy 395. Other person said her shower was awful - water never mixed/adjusted. It was either all hot or all cold water. BAD plumbing. Outside the showers, in mixed-gender area, plenty of room after shower. But zero privacy so had to undress/dress in tiny shower cubicle (about 2x3ft space). MUCH BETTER SHOWER at Mammoth - "Camp High Sierra" ... very pleasant and spacious BUT have to drive almost 2 hours just to get there.

It's very easy to find and within reasonable walking distance to many of the local stores and eateries of Kernville. I'm not typically one to stay in my room all day although the nice AC makes it tempting. We were able to go up to the mountains the entire day and come back and jump in the pool at Whispering Pines. The pool is very clean with a gorgeous unobstructed view of the mountains. The front office staff were very kind and friendly and quickly checked us in to our room. We stayed in room #103 which is very cozy with a kitchenette. The room was nice and clean and we even had a deck out the back door to look and listen to nature. There's no real designated parking spots for individual rooms so it's first come, first served. It gets very hot in Kernville so I would highly suggest parking in the few precious spots in front of the pool fence which give more shade throughout the day. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and plan on returning as soon as possible. Sincerely, Mark Adame Burbank, CA
