Service

Generally positive: staff frequently described as friendly and helpful and accommodating (e.g., first-floor rooms for accessibility). A few reports of a rude check-in host and needing to request basic items at the desk.
Location
8.8
Strong: repeatedly praised for proximity to restaurants, fairgrounds, highway (395) and local shops; very convenient for visitors, though parking can be tight and there is no dedicated dog area/grass.
Room Quality

Mixed-to-poor: some recently upgraded rooms and wood floors praised, but common issues include tired rooms, detached/peeling floors, slow-draining tubs, thin bedding/pillows and older TVs.
Amenities

Value for Money

Good value: several guests called it cost-effective and excellent value for money, especially given location and proximity to local attractions.

Overall mixed but acceptable: many guests would stay again and recommend due to location and value, despite maintenance, bedding and amenity inconsistencies.

I was not in the room except to shower and sleep. The location was good for walk to dining.
Pros:

Room was clean. Location was adequate for walk to dining. Front desk staff was professional and friendly.

Cons:

Shower water would not heat to expectation the second day. Room accommodations are basically the bed.

CLEAN, COMFORTABLE AND FUNCTIONAL OVERNIGHT TRAVELER STOP
Pros:

What you would expect from a Motel 6 in Bishop, CA -- good size comfortable room, clean, comfy bed, good shower water temp and pressure, refrigerator in room. Perfectly adequate for an overnight or two on way to someplace else or while exploring Bishop area.

Cons:

Wifi was weak, especially in rear buildings. TV/cable options felt limited.

Cons:

The beds are super uncomfortable, the bed cover was sticking out the side and horribly dirty! The bathroom fan didnt work at all and mold growing on the tiles.

No coffee maker in the room, I thought that would just be standard these days.

Worst place in five years of traveling. Do us a favor and destroy this place.
Pros:

There was literally nothing to like. At best it was a place to sleep.

Cons:

The bathroom is dangerous. If the bathroom door is closed and the person in the room falls, it is literally impossible to get the door open to help them. The toilet was so low neither of us would use it. The TV did not work, had to call the manager to get it working. The door to the room was damaged and had to be slammed to get open and shut. The room did not have much counter space, had to put things on the floor. Price was high, and I will never stay there again. We travel a lot and this was an insult to charge this much for so little.

I would not stay at this facility again for any reason. other Motel 6 much better.
Pros:

Check-in. Two ladies there were very helpful.

Cons:

The facility should be torn down. Walls allow sound to intrude from adjacent rooms. Toilet tank cover did not match toilet.
Tub peeling from attempt at repair. Only two pillows of very poor quality.

Pros:

Jared at Front Desk is very personable. He checked me in on my previous stay in September. He remembered me. This time I requested a room as faraway from Hwy 395 so I wouldn't hear trucks all night. Room #119 was so quiet.
