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.

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.

It looked like it had recently been renovated. The paint and carpet looked new. There was a fridge, micrwave and coffee maker with a large flat screen on the wall at the foot of the bed. The bathroom is all new, wtih granite bathtub surround. The hot water was very hot and strong water preassure. The room was reasonably quiet. It sits right on the highway, but the traffic noise was muted. The owner was very pleasant. The best part was the price. $66 for my wife and I. About the chapest price in town. If you are passing through and just need a room for the night, this would be my recommendation.

The fridge didn't work, which we didn't realize until we had to throw away $60+ in fruit and juices. The shower wouldn't drain and found rolled up tissues in the bed. If all that wasn't enough to complain to management, he woke us up at 4am singing (praying) for an hour in the room next to us where it seems theyre living. Finally was able to fall back asleep around 5am, only to be woken up 30 mins or so later from a VERY loud yelling and shouting phone conversation. Not sure if its worse not being able to understand the conversation, or not. But when we knocked to ask them to be quieter, they came to stand next to the wall to speak even louder! WTF? Lone Pine, CA is one of the most adorable country towns. Its so sad someone would purchase a business and then take no pride in it or the community it belongs in.

One parking spot per room located right out each room's front door. - I'm disgusted by their reuse of the shampoo. See photo. - I wish the restroom had more hooks or counters for you to put your clothes, towels, and whatnot. - For just one night, the price was a bit exorbitant. + However, I'm grateful the attendant was responsive on the phone late evening and this motel had rooms available as I finished my Whitney hike late night. . The room was pretty warm as soon as I walked in, but thankfully the A/C was working. . I prefer the sink not be completely separate from the restroom, but I understand it allows two tenants to accomplish two different tasks simultaneously. . The walls are thin, so you can hear neighbors having conversation by your window. Earplugs can help drown out the noise. I stayed one night: $151.20 total

This is a truly beautiful part of the country with so many sights to see. Manzanar, the Bristlecone Pine National Forest, Alabama Hills movie settings, portal to My.

There have been renovations…read moresuch as shutters on the windows, new bathroom counters and fixtures, a new desk, and what looks like new carpet. The owners/employees are friendly and helpful. It's quiet despite being on the main road. Cons: The cleaning product they use is way too strongly scented, despite my poor sense of smell. I opened the windows and front door and ran the fans for about 20 minutes but it wasn't helpful. The toilet looked sudsy so I flushed that, hoping it would help. Nope. The worst part is, my eyes burn because of it. Reading or watching TV is out because my eyes tear up so much when they are open. So I took a nice walk up to the museum to get away from it, leaving my room windows open and the bathroom fan running. This has only happened to me once before in my entire life: when I spent a day in Fresno when they had an AQI of 149. That day, going inside a nice restaurant stopped the burning, so I knew it was the air outside. Lone Pine's AQI today is 8, so it's the air quality INSIDE the room here, not outside. Editing to add: 2nd day the smell decreased quite a bit, 3rd day it was gone. I've stayed here before with noticing any cleaning product smell. I'd chance it again

They had the AC blasting when we walked in ... a little touch for which we were grateful. They have a pool ... we didn't use it so I'm not sure if it's heated. Before leaving we were pleased to see a nice ice machine to fill our ice chest. No bottled water in the room but the tap water is seriously great (not like back home... here the tap water is crisp and without a bad taste).
