It looks cute from the outside and nice views of the mountains. Some snacks provided, but only 2 coffee bags for 4 people. Fridge is not working properly and very loud. Airco is loud and need filter change. Toilet is leaking. Low water pressure.

Terri

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean, but extremely noisy. We unplugged the refrigerator, everything we could think of but the grinding sound like when your Keurig starts to brew never ceased. Also, we could annoyingly hear the neighbors laughing into the wee hours of the morning. Lastly, there are no food options in Independence, where the lodge is located. After a long drive from Reno, who wants to drive 30 minutes round-trip to Lone Pine to get food for dinner. We ate from the Mexican food truck, which was less than mediocre. For upwards of $150.00 that we paid for one night, you must be able to find nicer lodging with food options for that price in Lone Pine. I selected the lodge from the high rating and reviews on Expedia (which I do not understand at all) and was terribly disappointed. I hope that you read my review to save yourself the poor experience that I had.

Spartan, but adequate for an overnight stay. The town is itself is not worth staying at (though it has an awesome view of the Eastern Sierras).

This place was adorable. We stayed in room 4. We appreciated the snacks and charm. The check in was super easy as they text you all the room access. Since we showed up late this worked great for us.

We enjoyed our stay at Eastern Sierra Motor Lodge. It was easy to check in and the owner quickly responded when we needed anything. There are very few restaurants in Independence so we had to drive to Lone Pine to eat. There was no grocery store either.

The building itself is clean and well kept. Would be nice if parking lot was paved. Shower was an afterthought. So tight you can't bend over.

Noisy, cold, cramped, overpriced

If you’re into non stop trucks going by less than 20 ft from your bed, if you’re into heaters being too small to keep you and yours warm, if you love your shower not draining and flooding the floor, and you enjoy stubbing your toes on furniture too big for a small room - and you really love over paying for getting no sleep - this place is for you!
