Room was clean and had the expected amenities. Check in was quick (in the gas station market) and check out online was fast.

6/10

The owner ran a couple of businesses - a gas station, a grocery store, a hardware store, a motel, a food truck, and a laundromat with showers. Therefore, we checked in at the grocery store. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable for a good night sleep. We asked for a quiet room and got one behind the store building. It did shield out lots of highway noise. We took a walk after dinner in the nice neighborhood.

This is a very basic hotel off of the main road through town. The biggest draw is the location --- Big Pine being a gateway to many outdoor hiking areas. The shower was warm, the sheets and towels clean. That's all we needed tonight.

Convenient budget stop between Tahoe and SoCal. Hot water was warm, not hot. Place is clean with comfortable bed. Tasty BBQ walkup business within walking distance.

Great stop in eastern sierras . Friendly staff and store has lots of items .

6/10

The primary business here is a gas station convenience store. The hotel is definately an after thought. People seemed nice enough but the room was in desperate need of paint, the power lights, tv etc. Flickered all night and even went dark once. Evening shower was fine, morning shower ran out of hot water a minute in. The a/c worked fine though. And the original room they gave me was out back next to the laundry and maintenance room. Nothing bad as far as people go, but the hotel here is not good.

Excellent family accommodation for road trip in which booking was made last minute. My only criticism would be that the sheets don’t fit the bed so well and came off easily. Nice town and nice people.
