Owners are on site ,and very friendly and helpful. I stayed two nights.I appreciated the super clean room,and the new bedding .The bath room was clean,the shower had good water pressure and hot water.T.V. was large flat screen, wall mounted, which was nice.A/C was great and kept my room comfortable. I will stay here again, when in town to go hiking in the nearby mountain trails.
Amanda
This place was perfect! SO CLEAN and the air conditioner was amazing, it was very hot outside, and the unit kept up perfectly. The owners are the nicest people ever, they waited so late for us to come in and made sure that we were comfortable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Don’t let the photos online scare you off, this place is precious, and even as two girls traveling alone, we felt very safe here.
Timothy
Enjoyed the quiet, coziness of my room. Staff was superb.
Cristina
Front office was accommodating when we let them know we'd be arriving late in the evening. Clean, basic rooms. Easy parking. Would come back here and stay again!
Thomas
Perfect place to clean up and rest after hiking the JMT.
Rupert
Motel was super cute, clean, and perfect for a budget traveler exploring the Eastern Sierras and Death Valley. Will recommend!!
Sean
Excellent stay. Host - owner is so nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend staying
Christopher
Very nice gentleman checked us in. I believe he is the owner at least he told me his wife could say he was. Cute little place and reminded me of the places I stayed when I was a kid with my parents. Will stay there again if I travel thru this area. More bathroom products than the major lodging places have. Just a quaint small motel that’s a reminded of how simple things were in the past
Matthew
A basic motel with the basic necessities needed for a one night stay that were all in working order. However, the highlight that stands out was the warm hospitality and friendliness of the owners that greeted me when I checked in. I was provided with a cold bottle of water and snacks and fruit after a long drive from LA. She even made sure my room was in good condition before handing me the key! To me, that shows the good character of the owners and the cleanliness of the property and the rooms reflect that as well! When I’m back in the area for more hiking, I’ll be seeking my stays here from now on!
Anthony
Motel was ok, but no ice machine. No restaurants besides food trucks in town. Closest food or market was in Lone Pine.
Whitney
The staff Not really helpful.
Adam
The host, Gita, was helpful, friendly and very welcoming. The room was great for the price. Would gladly stay again.
Brian
Very friendly staff, super helpful, and the room had exactly what you would want and hope for!
Razvan
We felt welcomed, the bed was good, room was quiet, AC was quiet. They offered us fruits as a welcome gift. It is a family business. Very nice people. We’ll certainly stay there again.
meagan
Don’t judge this place by the outside- this little motel ended up being exactly what I needed after an intense hike. The room is small, as expected, but perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for a clean, comfortable place to shower, cool off, and rest. The AC absolutely cranks, which was heaven after being out in the heat all day.
The owners have added so many thoughtful touches: toothbrushes, single-use toothpaste, makeup remover wipes, bath gels, plus a mini fridge and microwave in the room. When I checked in, I was greeted with bottled water, fruit, and cookies, such a kind welcome after a long day.
There are also cute patios with hanging lights where you can sit and eat takeout, and there’s even a homemade ice cream shop right next door with a really vibey outdoor patio.
One of the owners mentioned a nearby trail just behind the motel, and I’m so glad I listened. I ended up walking through the beautiful Mary DeDecker native plant garden alongside a babbling creek with little bridges and an incredible sunset view over the mountain ridge. It turned into one of the highlights of my trip.
This place may not look like much from the outside, but it has heart, kindness, and everything you actually need for a peaceful stay.

Lovely staff- loud highway noise and thin walls between rooms
Katharine
The staff was very fresh
Daniel
Wonderful hosts. Very helpful. Room was nice, but shower needed help.
Douglas
Great experience - clean and staff proffessional.
brian
No heat. are you for real??? manager claimed space heater would be ok. it was not. manager claimed heater just broke. weird, why is there a 20 year old space heater in the room then? will be contacting credit card company for charge back. avoid this place at all costs. overnight low temperature dipped into the 20s. inside room temp was maybe in the 40s. FRAUD
Jo Ann
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. There were many amenities.
Marion
Quaint motel at a very reasonable price- great for hikers looking to resupply and take an off day. The couple that runs the place are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable. We will be back!
Julie
Great customer service clean room
Melissa
Excellent accommodations and spotless clean rooms!
Sara
Great hospitality from owner at checkin
Rachel
I love the older motels that are clean and quiet. The owners were very nice and accommodating. We will stay there again when we travel to see our family.
Richard
The hotel is cute and the beds very comfortable, but what really stood out was the graciousness and kindness of the owners.
David
This is a perfect, simple motel room. It's clean, comfortable and affordable. Above all else, the owner is very nice and very responsive! Great, easy stop when traveling through 395 or stopping at Mt. Whitney.
Erica L.
The owner was lovely. The room was sufficient for our needs.
Leonard
Parking was good, ac was great
Karla
The lady who runs it and works the desk is very sweet. A+ customer service. The shower knob did not stay on and the building is on the older side, but it was clean and the customer service made it delightful.
LYNDA
The owner greeted us and was a really nice lady. The family room was exactly as described with 3 comfortable beds. It also had a small fridge and dining table. There is a small bench outside the door to enjoy the weather and air. This is a great central option to Lone Pine and Bishop.
Francisca
I’ll be back
Very clean, location convenient and very friendly.
Yingying
Very good
Joline
Parking was excellent right in front of our room. Staff was excellent very friendly and informative. She even came to her room to make sure everything was fine before we checked in and showed us around where everything was at in town
Gordon
OK older motel.
Scott
In booking this room I didn't expect much but was very pleasantly surprised. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had an issue with my car that they helped me figure out. The grounds, though small, are clearly well cared for. I highly recommend.
Scott
Proprietor very gracious. My dog was welcome.
Rachel Naomi
We needed a Pet Friendly Motel on the way to Indio for a good price and this Motel had good reviews from other guests. Most people were leaving Excellent reviews for the Owner/Property Manager and cleanliness and those areas did not disappoint. The woman who checked us in was friendly and gave us cold water and snacks, and was kind to our dog. The room was clean, but on the end next to the Highway. Perhaps people traveling with dogs get Room 15, where the carpet has stains and the chairs were a little uncomfortable.
My main complaint is that whenever the people next door ran their water there was a high pitched squeal that lasted for about 5 min. In the middle of the night its like a smoke alarm going off. And there’s an abandoned building directly in front of the Motel, which no one mentions.
If you choose to stay here, don’t go to Room 15, and know that the Valero Station a block away has decent coffee.

IT WAS NICE AND CLEAN AND GOOD
Jason
This family and their cute motel are so great. A bit of comfort before or after a trip into the Sierras.
Donna
Just Like Family
We were greeted like family upon arrival which is special after a long driving day. Geeta shared the brief story of how they turned this vintage motel into an extremely comfortable and updated room. Highly recommend this motel.
Micaela
Simple, low key, affordable and caring!
The most caring place I have ever stayed. They called us to check on our arrival and to let us know where to stop for dinner and breakfast the following morning. They went through the rooms and details, made sure that we didn’t have a pet this trip and gave us snacks. It was like staying with a caring family member! Simple, low key, affordable and caring!
LYNDA
The Courthouse Motel was a older
Gloria
Geeta was a wonderful host. She was kind and cared about our comfort. We took our dog and there are places to walk in the back of the property where it is safe and off the highway. The room was clean and had adequate space. There were lots of special touches, including the welcome basket. We will definitely come back again. Thank you, Geeta
Jonathan
Great stay on my way to mammoth
Colleen
Not much there in the town. Had to back track for restaurant s. But ok
Henry
very nice classic motel court, friendlly hosts, new furniishings, HVAC being upgraded (half-finished). Only issue was too much carpet scent on rug: discussed with managment who took note and promised to inform housekeeping. Customer focused owners.
