The window had louvered windows and the room was had way too much light all night. The air conditioner was loud and rattled. the bed was on wheels and whenever my husband moved I got josled around. The room was SMALL, in order to walk past each other one of us had to flatten to the wall.
I knew this was an older hotel and did not expect luxury, but a dark quiet room would have made all the difference for a good nights sleep.

This is a wonderful property. A classic motel that is kept up very well. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They are proud of their property and it shows. It is a page out of the mid-twentieth century, but I doubt that anyone one be uncomfortable there. Highly recommended.

The room is large enough for the king size bed and the room was clean. There is a fast food restaurant next door. We have stayed here before. The parking is in front of the door.

if you are looking for accomodation in lone pine, use Google maps in stead of Expedia. For some reason Expedia only has outdated old hotels in Lone Pine. location is good but room is just bare minimum . there is a quality inn and a best western down the main road, nee hotels , but not on Expedia.

Hi, I stayed at Mt Whitney Motel on Nov 28–29. Unfortunately, I was unable to sleep because the AC unit, refrigerator, and bathroom plumbing were making loud mechanical noises throughout the night. I woke up several times, and the room conditions significantly affected my stay.

Since the issue involved malfunctioning equipment, I’d like to request a partial refund or compensation for the inconvenience. Thank you for helping contact the property on my behalf.

A solid option for access to Death Valley

This is an older motel, but it was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Its an wasy walk to food option. Highly recommed the Totem pole for a solid tasty meal. Theres a supermarket as well, and a laundromat in town.
