Great little motel to overnight at while on a long road trip. The room was clean and surprisingly well appointed. Wish the water pressure in the shower was better.

It’s a bit outdated property, but it was in a good shape, the cleaning staff is doing a great job to maintain the rooms. It was clean and cozy, perfect for our one night stay. It has a little patio looking to Lake Mono.

Another surprise from the cleaning staff

We were allowed to change our reservation the night before we were to check in! The view outside of our room towards Nevada was delightful with a balcony. Very clean. Pleasantly surprised, great staff. Love the place.

Staff at the desk were friendly and helpful. I thought I reserved a room with fridge/microwave. Our initial room (11) we were gives had a fantastic view and was further away from the road, but no fridge/microwave. We were able to be moved to an upgraded room at no additional cost (weekday). Good location overall. Nice shops and restaurants nearby had what we needed. Overall good experience for our group of 4.

Cute place, nice location for a night passing thru on a road trip. Cute gift shops walkable. Ate dinner at The Basin Cafe and Breakfast at Nicely’s Restaurant. Loved both, great food!! and walkable. No amenities. Would give 5 stars but we had ants in our shower area. Nice updated bathroom counters/sink. Fridge and microwave. Would stay again for sure!
