Categories

Cleanliness
8.2
Multiple guests repeatedly praised the rooms and communal areas as very clean, but there are recurring minor issues: cigarette smell reported on some nights, a guest noted holes in a bed sheet, and the pool area was mentioned as needing improvement.
Service
9.2
Consistently excellent, courteous and helpful staff cited across reviews (offers to move rooms when TV failed, attentive front-desk assistance, helpful during check-in/out). Score slightly elevated to reflect strong, repeated positive mentions and to balance weaker areas.
Location
8.8
Convenient location for dining and a good stopover for Eastern Sierras trips; several guests called the location 'perfect' or 'close to places to eat'.
Room Quality
8
Rooms described as comfortable, spacious and modern by many guests, though some experienced TV issues and one report of damaged bedding; occasional noise from other guests affected room experience.
Amenities
8.2
Laundry, dryer, complimentary coffee/tea/iced water, and a small pool were appreciated. Some concerns: pool cleanliness could be better and a cash-only small-change policy affected purchases for Booking.com guests.
Value for Money
9
Several guests explicitly stated this was excellent value for money and a great stopover; positive mentions of price-to-quality ratio justify a high score.
Food and Beverage
8.6
Breakfast repeatedly described as rich, varied and better than typical American motel breakfasts (pancakes noted); one guest called breakfast somewhat boring, but overall sentiment is positive.
Overall Experience
8
Strong tendency to recommend and to return expressed by multiple guests; overall positive stay reports tempered by issues like occasional noise, minor facility/amenity hiccups, and isolated serviceability problems.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

If I have business in this area again, I'm definitely staying here. Thank you!
Pros:

Cleanliness is a priority for me. From my room to communal areas, the site was very clean.

Cons:

Some guests were on high volume at night and every night and sometimes early morning, you could smell cigarette smoking. I'm not sure what solutions there are for staff or the company considering customers are who they are. It's hard to navigate how others behave even when they know they can be disruptive to those around them.

Booking.com Customers: Bring Lots of Small Change
Pros:

This is a great stopover hotel for trips to the Eastern Sierras. The staff is excellent. The rooms are clean. The coffee in the lobby is good.

Cons:

Because we booked through Booking.com, we were NOT ALLOWED to buy water or snacks with our credit cards. We were told that we had to use cash--and it had to be exact change only. When we only had a $20 bill for a $3 drink, the clerk offered to buy us the drink herself--which we didn't accept.
