Bathroom not really clean. Wood work and walls needed wiping. Hair still in tub.
-
The bathroom was not clean.the shower curtain also had mildew on it. The window shade was not a privacy shade. The floors were not very clean.
-
The floors were not clean/swept. Furniture was very dusty.
-
The motel was quiet and close enough to walk to shops and restaurants. Beds were comfortable. The AC was set at 74 and you couldnt change the temperature. You dont pay for a motel for them to determine what temperature you are allowed to have it at. Pet friendly but there were ants in our room, and the smoke detector was chirping when we got there had to change the 9 volt battery myself.

No breakfast provided. Location took me a bit to find. The motel manager stayed on the phone with me as I was guided to the location. The bed / mattress was too high, Good thing I had a step stool in my vehicle or I would not have been able to get onto the bed. The wording on the front of the air conditioning unit was worn away to the point that I could not figure out how to turn it on and had to call the manager. I piece of tape with "press here for "off/on" written on it would have been a simple fix and could be replaced as needed with little to no cost. the refrigerator had a "can" / "bottle" holder on the door. it was dirty from soda or similar liquid being spilled.

No parking.

The room wasn't clean. The cleaning person left a not asking for a tip, but they never came in to even empty the trash.
-
The proprietor was very accommodating and super helpful. We appreciated his flexibility with our check-in time. Separate soap and shampoo in the bathroom would've made the stay a little bit better, but that's all I can complain about.

Clean room

Good price and comfortable.
-
Location to downtown is great. Right in the heart of Bishop. Old facility, no pool, just a room to sleep for the night.
-
It had a small refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. It was used as a storage room by mangement. It had a freezer and 4 big screen tvs housed inside the room
-
Decent place to stay. No frills. Close to great restaurants and shops. Large room The room needs a small table and a couple of chairs. The floor needs to be mopped daily, and feet get dirty walking around it. Since it is a budget hotel, I can't complain too much.
-
Not one thing. The place was filthy. The people gathering outside our room partying until 10:00 and being very loud. How dirty the place was.
-

-
Great location. It could have been cleaner.
-
Great location - large clean room -comfy beds window could have had a blackout drape to block the outside lights from shining in at night.
-
It was central and within walking distance of most everything The outside was messy with trash and leaky water. The inside smelled like mildew, the coffee maker fell apart immediately, microwave was dirty inside and when I heated water it made the room reek of old foo and burnt popcorn. There were a ton of ants on the floor by the bed the first morning I woke up. And the fridge froze everything, including my fishing worms.
-
Convenient location, bed was comfortable, shower was hot. A little skimpy on the linens.

It was a lit crazy movie
