This was a really nice place to stay with our family of 4. The rooms appear to be recently renovated and we had a very comfortable stay. We will be returning.

The eastern Sierra motor Lodge was the perfect place for us to spend the night. The location was good. We were able to walk into town for dinner at Glenn‘s taco truck and then walked to cowboy coffee in the morning. Both I highly recommend. I loved the snacks in the room. Spent the evening sitting out front in the Adirondack chairs visiting with a few other guests. Would definitely stay again.

Easy check in, quiet area and a good place to just sleep when enjoying the area. Snacks supplied in the room was a pleasant surprise. Worn building but clean enough so on point pricing.

Self check in with keypad made the stay amazing! The room was clean and cozy. There was a little gift basket with snack, drinks, and ear plugs. The motel is right off the hwy and you can hear the big rigs down shift as they come into town. Great stay and would stay again!

Nearly immaculate room had very good lighting, was equipped with microwave and (gurgling) fridge. Also came with a surprising supply of gratis snacks -- and earplugs, which some may find useful for blocking the sound of trucks on 395. Adirondack chairs outside each of the 6 rooms contributed a welcoming touch. Note: this is a remotely operated motel with no staff on site. Also, for the price of a room, guests have a right to expect an ice machine. Shower head was uncomfortably low, while bath towels were of excellent quality. Oddly, hand towels were of only fair quality, and wash rags were so thin they might have come from Motel 6. Instead of snacks, how about bottled water?

Thank you for your hospitality

Nice curb appeal for a motel with 2 new android chairs, rose bushes and flowering shrubs. Basic bed with basic linens just ok. Room was updated recently just enough to cover the dated establishment A/C worked great, refrigerator had a constant humming noise so we turned it off. Complimentary snacks were very plentiful and appreciated. May we suggest to include 2 bottled water?
Easy reservation and check in with code for room door. No front desk, any problems you must text # to contact. Best value with comfort in the surrounding towns that didn’t look like your grandparents 1980 furniture and bedspread. Many upscale hotels in the area but wanted something reasonable for 1 night passing through. Thank you for your hospitality.

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.

Great location and comfy!

Check in was easy. Bed was so comfy and I loved the free snacks provided. The ac worked very well, but it did make strange noises that kept waking me up. I was not able to get the water in the shower to a good temp. It took forever to heat up and then when I added the cold, it just stayed scalding. There are tons of plugs in the room! I love it. I would stay here for a another night again

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!
