Unique, cozy, beautiful views, and forced/friendly interaction with other guests enjoying outdoor spaces set up to enjoy the sunrise/sunset. Ideally located, the lodge is a surprise gem for a place so close to the highway. The sprinklers however detracted from our stay with an alarming and hard to identify noise in the middle of the night, waking us up by hitting part of the window or the AC unit. Sleep is important!

While close to Tioga pass this is a noisy motel. It is right on Hwy 395. The mattress sasnt comfortable and the heater noisy. The A/C unit in the window should be removed since it is fall and it lets in cold air since it is not sealed in the window which is no good since 30ft from 395.

Clean room with comfortable bed. Places to sit to enjoy nature. Allows dogs.

The negative, and it's a big one, is the sound of traffic all through the night and morning on nearby Hwy. 395. Despite the lovely view and setting, the rooms are just too close to the highway.
This could be mitigated by investment in double- or triple-paned windows, which would keep out the noise.

What a cute little resort. It is on a busy highway, but that didn't bother me too much. The view of the lake was amazing. The clerk recommended waking up for beautiful sunrise over the lake and gave me the time of sunrise.
The bed was squeeky but really comfortable.
No TV in room, but that didn't bother me either.

The room was cute and the outside is cute as well. Its a nice view of the lake and the sunrise and there are close, cute eating places just up the hill. The only complaint, which the owner cant really control is there is a lot of bugs/knats that get in the room but its because they are all down by the lake probably because if its sulfur content. So again just kimd hard to control that, but overall we thought it was a really cute place

It was pretty difficult to figure out where our room was and where to park as we did arrive in the dark and things weren't marked very clearly. The room was quite large and the bed was very comfortable! It felt very homey!

Nice lodge!!

It seems like a good and convenient place to me.

It's steps from Mono Lake, very close to Tioga Pass (entrance to Yosemite Park), Bodie ghost town and hot springs in Bridgeport.
Surrounded by nature, beautiful views and tranquility.
You can read a book, meditate or do grounding under the trees.
Beautiful cabins, clean and impeccable with everything necessary for the stay.

The staff is very friendly; Especially Gladis was very kind and explained to me what was necessary for my stay.
I usually visit the area and I find it to be one of the best places to spend the night in the area.

This was one of the best property if you want to stay near Yosemite national park and still use modern facilities. We got here on a warm day. It was bit hot in the cabin. There was no AC working but had a Aircooler. Overnight the weather cooled so we had opened windows to cool the room. Other than the AC condition everything was perfect. Very clean and nice bathrooms and charming place to stay.

Pros: The room was great! Wonderful view of the lake. Bed was comfortable.
Minutes to Leeverling town where there is shopping and dining.

Cons: lack of staff. Main hotel and “restaurant” are non existent and not in working order.
Noisy highway right in front. Motion lights go off and on all night.
Sprinklers are set to go off at midnight-1am. Seriously? They are loud. Woke us up.
The grounds need to be trimmed and weeded. It looks halfway. Either they are trying to bring it back to life or it is dying.
Definitely not a lodge more of a motel feel.

It’s right upfront facing the lake . Atleast the two story unit we stayed in with the balcony . Only issue is the noise of traffic as the main hwy is right there going at 40-50mph. You have to run the portable coolers inside to mask the traffic noise . Also it would be good if the staff empty out the cooler water completely as it gets full very quickly and hard to empty . If the water is full , then only the fan will work . And in summer unless it’s running all the time in full cooling mode it won’t cool down the room . Also if they use cotton pillow covers it would be a bit cooler than blend pillow covers which get hot . Other thing is that you won’t be able to check in until 4pm . So if you get there early the lobby will be closed .

Marvelous Mono Lake Motel

I loved the quirky Motel. So much character. It’s right across from Mona Lake. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets . We had a porch with two chairs and every night we watch the stars. Our room also had a refrigerator with a little eating table by the window. Loved it!

We left after 3 hours of being here. $250 for one night wasted was worth driving to Bridgeport and staying in a different location.

There was no air conditioning to start. The swamp cooler units were not turned on before hand and after 3 hours, it was still unbearable conditions. Once it cooled down outside the indoor temp was hotter than outdoors and there were only two small windows in the bathroom to allow circulation.

Additionally, the “suite” we booked had a creepy stairwell with no lights inside the room. It felt unsafe and was not something we felt comfortable with considering there was no explanation of it before hand or during check-in.

There were several large wolf spiders crawling up the wall into the hot and humid bedroom that pushed us to the limit, we could not fathom dealing with the temperature, bugs, and creepy environment and decided to waste the money and leave.

Multiple reasons for this review:
-no a/c but did provide a room chiller thing, it almost did the job
-only one small side window and bathroom window opened so it barely helped with cooling at night
-NO hot water in the shower, now I was warm from the room so it almost felt good but it was freezing cold!
-I was unsure what to do/who to contact about anything since it wasn’t “typical” hours and even at check in I had to call someone to come and check me into my room.
It was just a very strange experience, I would not book here again despite the amazing outdoor areas and views

The check in process is not easy. You have to wait for the person to come over and check you in. The room was small and not clean. No AC. I found a huge web in the window with flies caught in it. Killed a big fly, three spiders. One was on my pillow. Moth was in the bathroom. Bathroom floor was super sticky so I had to ask my kids to wear shoes at all times. The view in beautiful but I wish they had made it bug free. My son was bit by spider and had reaction to it.

Views of Mono Lake are the best. The picnic area is great - shaded for a good part, nice tables, and has a stream flowing through it. Some of the newer cabins were nicer. The onsite manager, Gladys is pleasant and addresses your concerns promptly. Linens and towels were new and fresh.
Separate sitting area in the room was convenient.

The property is RUSTIC (no double pane windows, old bathrooms), sits by highway 395 and you can hear trucks roaring down. Especially true for cabins 10-14.
Mattresses are old.

Deal breaker for me is that the website advertises a restaurant but that was closed - the manager says closed for the season.
I would rate 2.5 if I could.

There are plenty of outdoor space to relax and enjoy the view of Mono Lake across the highway. Very beautiful and scenic. It can be a bit loud with the cars but we didn't mind. No TV, Wi-Fi is available but there was enough connection (T-Mobile) for emails and web browsing. It's a cabin in the woods. All amenities enough for what we needed. Wouldn't mind coming back next time we're in the area.

Best view of Mono Lake in all of Lee Vining and also dog friendly. There was a lot of 395 noise but it luckily died down at night. We all loved the front porch and well shaded lawn. We would definitely stay here again!

Located in Lee Vining, this property sits directly on Mono Lake and offers some fantastic views. The room was clean, quaint, but has all you'd need to be comfortable and help explore the surrounding areas/Yosemite Park!

We stayed one night on Thursday and I think we were the only one there. So we had a very quiet and private time. A very charming, beautiful garden with a small creek running through. My dog loved running around. It is right across from Mono Lake. We got up early to watch the sunrise as the friendly staff strongly recommended it. Glad we did because it was breathtaking! They had a nice deck with benches built to sit and watch the sunrise. That was outstanding. They are currently building a stage to host concerts and events. That would be really charming. The 395 runs right in the front but no noise bothered us over night. In the morning time, you hear trucks go by seldomly. We are early risers and it didn't bother us at all. The room was huge with a king size bed, cozy living room, fully stocked kitchen and a Large Refrigerator. The white towels were clean and fluffy, I was impressed. I highly recommend it.

Booked as it was one of the closer options to Tioga/Yosemite east entry. Pricing is ok for the room. Lee Vining is the closest city 2mi. south from the lodge in case you are looking for dining options and gas.

Review of Mark Twain Room #1 specifically.

Pros:
* Larger unit
* Does have ceiling fan as well as AC window unit (unexpected as it wasn’t listed but a major plus when the sun is out)
* toiletries provided (also unlisted)
* comfortable bed
* shower/tub combo (pics show tub only)
* great view of lake especially at sunrise

Cons:
* bugs. Some can’t be helped like moths attracted to lights on porch that fly inside. Others included mosquitos/spiders. Maybe getting some type of bug repellent. We felt there has to be an opening to where the critters can get in.
* slight difference of what is listed on Expedia. Possible they’ve moved some things around to other units. Only a con if you were expecting a tub. Other differences were unexpected and considered pros

Overall, will stay again if in the area.

Good cabin for a stop over and Mono Lake view

Room was nice and the theme was well put together. The room was clean and tidy. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Although, the WiFi didn’t work at all, we could only get a connection when stood outside the cabin but still no internet. The cabins would benefit hugely from WiFi repeaters as we were only the second cabin from the lobby building. The blinds were broken in the bedroom which meant waking up with the sun, they were the only bit that didn’t fit with the rooms theme also as office blinds. Would look amazing if both sets were swapped out for tartan style blackout curtains. Sprinklers came on in the evening luckily we saw them from the window as the spray hit the cabins front door and entrance path. Overall it was an okay to stay for one night and benefitted greatly from being next to Mono Lake with nice gardens. Would be spot on with WiFi and better window dressings.

The room was tiny. The bathroom was super small. The toilet was located so close to the wall that I had to sit sideways on it to use it. Tons of windows really let all of the insanely loud noise from the highway come in easily. I saw ear plugs on the counter and didn’t understand until it was time to try to sleep. Even with earplugs I didn’t sleep a wink. This place is PATHETIC!

Worst entry, best view

We arrived at night. It is very, very dark around the hotel. The party lights weren't much help finding where one enters. 395, while a beautiful highway, is the main route for the Eastern Sierra. Big semis hurl down it's two lanes. Once we were able to find the entrance, we had to phone the clerk/manager? This is an old establishment. Not easily accessible to anyone with mobility issues. The step to our concrete patio was badly tilted, slippery when icy. The floors are ceramic tile, hard and cold. Our room had beautiful old windows and the view of Mono lake is spectacular. The restaurant was closed so you'd need to drive a few miles into town to get something. Fortunately they provide a microwave (old and struggling) and a fridge

Decent night's rest before a drive to Yosemite

Very convenient for driving to Yosemite from the East. Lovely views of Mono Lake, somewhat tempered by heavy road traffic. Room was good-sized with fridge, microwave, and coffee maker (plus Belvita snack). Decent A/C and reasonably comfy bed. Slat blinds on windows could have used curtains for more privacy. Very small bathroom with pedestal sink and no shelves for toiletries. No light above mirror and no shower wand. Biggest con was lack of hair dryer so I couldn't wash my hair in the morning.

We had a comfortable cabin for 2 nights. Bathroom with bath, heating all good. Some road noise, with or without the widows open, but it didnt keep us awake. Might be busier earlier in the season. Beautiful views over Mono Lake and well kept grounds with seating areas. Pricey, but so is everything in the vicinity of Yosemite. Lee Vining just up the road, a great little town with lots of food options including a very good value diner restaurant called Nicely's and one inside the Mobil station shop that also does amazing sandwiches. East entrance to Yosemite only open in summer but the Tioga Road has the best hikes and scenery, much nicer than Yosemite valley itself and way less crowded.

Very unique property and as the manager stated, beautiful sunrise coming up over the lake. Very helpful staff. Wife forgot her hairdryer and mgmt was kind enough to let us use one. I did reserve specifically the Mark Twain room, as I wanted the old tub after a long day of hiking, but I was given a different room. At that point, I was too tired to bother asking for a change and site showed it sold out already. No biggie, but interesting result. Overall, would stay there again.

We arived about 20 minutes to 4pm the check in time was 4pm and the office door did not open untill 4pm never seen this. The room was very clean didn't care much for the hardwood floors but I guess was part of the nostalgia. The landscaping was very nice. We would have liked it if we were told that we needed to plug in an electric heater. I had to call the office and ask how to work the thermostat only to find out it didn't work. It was nice that they provided earplugs for the noise from the highway although we did not use them due to it was not that bad. We will stay here again if we travel back this way again.

I was visiting Lee Vining to attend a music venue that evening. I tried to check in around 3pm so I could go to the venue and park for the evening. I thought the wood on the ramp was going to give way. The office door was locked, the parking lot empty. The place looked abandoned. I couldn’t take a chance that the office would again be closed after the venue, so I left town, missing the venue and hotel stay altogether. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.

This was a family run business. We had a late arrival. No issue for them. They got us squared away. The room was clean and well kept. No TV but that was fine for us. We had to ask for a heater as they were transitioning seasons but they had us squared away in no time. A bit pricey but served our needs well for an over night spot going into Yosemite for a Tuolumne Meadows hike.
