Receipts of when I booked my reservation and how long we've been going to BVM. Extremely sad it has come to this end.

My family of 9 HAD been going to this motel for over 15 years. The service had been declining gradually, but we didn't say anything because we liked the location and the parking. When issues would occur, Adriana seemed bothered to have to address it. This year, we were planning on going in June and July. Work issues came up; I called in May and cancelled the June trip. Spoke with Adriana, she clearly remembered the conversation. She failed to cancel the reservation, and somehow, I was to blame because I didn't look for the email cancellation. For 3 days she or staff didn't realize that no one had checked into the room? That our huge Truck wasn't coming and going? That 6-7 extra people weren't roaming about the motel or pool? When I found out we were going to be charge for the June stay, I called Adriana and was trying to figure something out out, she said she would still have to charge us for not being there. I thought that was unfair, especially being a loyal customer? I was asking for solutions, how do we fix? She offered only not to charge us for the last day. I said do I call my bank to help? Then she got upset and said. "I'll have to call you back!" That call never came, only an email with a full refund for June and she cancelled our week reservation for July. Stating "she wasn't comfortable having us there" I was shocked! I emailed back asking, at times pleading for her NOT to cancel our rooms, since I booked it in February and it was 1 month till our July trip. She was unreasonable and said No. I even said, fine charge me for the June days. But no, she would not. I apologized, for whatever I did. She also cancelled our other room for our kids. 15 years of giving them business, we always rented 2-4 rooms a year. This is how BVM "management" treats their customers. I was extremely disappointed with BVM. We took our business elsewhere for July. 3 rooms for 4 days. And in August we are also going back and will be staying again in the same location for another 4 days. I would NOT recommend this motel, simply due to their lack of understanding, and customer service. I have posted some items of proof that we had been long time customers. I am truly saddened by this experience.

Came down from Mammoth to leave our car at a body shop for 3 days of work. Stayed in this wonderful motel which has old world charm. Ultra clean rooms in which mine was a studio/kitchenette unit tucked in to the center of the complex off an alleyway so it was very quiet. I felt safe with their SmartLock keypad on the door. Adrianna at the front desk was very accommodating and allowed an early check-in. I swam laps in their large clean pool every day and met some nice travelers enjoying it, too. So nice to be walking distance to everything along Main Street in town. It made for a super nice staycation!

We stayed one night in Bishop at this lovely rustic motel, located off the main highway. Staff was friendly, polite and helpful. Later that evening, they were very understanding when we locked ourselves out of our room. We were thankful that the rooms had a swamp cooler on a 100 degree summer day. The motel is located off the beaten path, so it was quiet at night. The cost is very affordable for a room with a kitchen. Our room was very clean and the bed comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful hotel on the way to our camping trip, stayed here two separate times. It's right on the…read moremain street so if you're towing a trailer it's perfect. They do not provide trailer parking, but there's a park across the street with RV parking. The hotel is gorgeous with a rustic, elevated, cabin feel. Has a small creek in the middle of it with relaxing chairs and fire pits. The Jacuzzi was also very lovely, we spent a very lovely afternoon /evening there. We also had a pet friendly room that accommodated our 2 small dogs. They have areas for the dogs to go potty, which is awesome. They also have an outstanding lobby bar / lounging are that was very relaxing. Diego the bartender was outstanding on both separate times we stayed there. The food is delicious. I highly recommend the Caesar salad with grilled chicken, the mushroom pizza and the barbecue chicken pizza. The bed was hard and uncomfortable, and there was hard water on the bathroom, shower glass, but it happens. Some people prefer soft beds. Some people prefer firmer beds. I understand that. Yes, it's on the more expensive side, but it's a gorgeous hotel and people shouldn't complain. If it's too much then don't book it ! The cancellation policies & prices are upfront so I don't understand why people complain about that.

One star. I had a reservation, but I never even set foot on the property…read more Our upcoming trip to the area was disrupted by the Rock Fire in Inyo County, forcing us to change our travel plans. Before booking, travelers should understand that Wayfinder appears to enforce its cancellation policy even when a major wildfire prevents the original trip from taking place. The hotel offered to convert my one night reservation into a credit, but only if I selected and confirmed new travel dates within 48 hours. In my view, that is not a reasonable accommodation. When travel is unexpectedly disrupted by a natural disaster, it can take weeks or months to determine when a replacement trip will be possible. A more customer-friendly approach would be to issue a credit valid for 6-12 months and allow guests to book new dates when their plans are finalized. We also discussed moving the reservation forward by one night to accommodate our revised itinerary. While I understand that weekend rates are higher, the additional cost would have been several hundred dollars, making that option impractical. As a result, I lost the cost of one night's stay and will not be booking with Wayfinder in the future. This was my first experience with the company, and unfortunately it left me with the impression that there is little flexibility for guests facing extraordinary circumstances beyond their control. Management already has my contact information. I hope you'll reconsider and issue a credit that can be used within the next year, rather than requiring a new reservation to be booked within 48 hours.

The first impression wasn't great. The front doors to the lobby were dirty, and the entryway leading to our room smelled strongly of urine. There was also dried dog waste that appeared to have been there for some time. Our room had ants, which was disappointing, especially considering the nightly rate of $232. The breakfast was also below expectations. The eggs were runny, the sausage was overcooked, and the coffee was some of the worst we've had during our trip. The biggest disappointment was the customer service. Ben at the front desk was rude and condescending, which made an already disappointing stay even worse. After staying at numerous Best Western properties on this trip, we know the level of quality the brand is capable of. Unfortunately, this location fell far short of those standards. At $232 a night, we expected a much cleaner property, better customer service, and a more enjoyable experience. We would not choose to stay here again.Do Not Recommend!!

We arrived the facility 5:30pm nobody is at the desk and a message that the receptionist is at another location (El Rancho motel). Notice indicate that the person will be back 6pm. I end up feeding my kids dinner in the car. When the receptionist arrived, I was told that the facility was overbooked and that we had to look for lodging somewhere else and that they might be able to accommodate the next day. After talking it out for 20mins, we were given room reserved to someone else that either coming late or no show. We got into the room and settled in since we dont have much options. - The bathroom sink is leaking - We discovered at night that the TV remote battery is missing and the office is closed already. - We discovered the next morning that refrigerator is not plugged in so my kids medicine were compromised. - There is a filty rug under the refrigerator - The microwave was not wiped down - The refrigerator has tape inside to hold compartment - There was no hand soap We planned our trip months ago and I was really hoping that this could be one of those home base we could use as we introduce the Sierra and hiking with our kids but this ruined the experience On the good side we were not tossed without lodging but until midnight I heard people coming in that lost thier reservation since the facility overbooked. They are blaming Expedia and booking.com but this seems not the first overbooking incidents.

An Unexpected Gem in Bishop -- And Todd Deserves a Promotion!…read more I was driving from Las Vegas to Burning Man and had to stop for the night in Bishop. I usually stay at places like Best Western, but this time they wanted $230 for one night, so I started looking around and found Vagabond Inn at a much more reasonable price. And wow -- what a surprise! Everything started with my phone call. Mr.Todd, who was on duty tonight, answered the phone and was absolutely excellent. He was clear, polite, professional, quick, and even handled my jokes with a great sense of humor. He gave me all the information I needed right away. When I arrived, I was honestly shocked. At midnight, guests can still have something to eat -- milk, fruit, breakfast items, bananas, and other food are available. After a long drive, that was an incredible touch. I have traveled all over the United States and have never seen this kind of hospitality at a hotel. And then I entered my room. Usually, when you walk into a hotel, there is that familiar smell of old furniture, cleaning products, air fresheners, and years of guests staying there. Not here. This room smelled fresh and clean, like home. The bedding was exceptionally clean, the curtains were spotless, and I could not find a speck of dust anywhere. But I especially want the management to know about Todd. This guy deserves recognition -- and, in my opinion, a promotion. He was prepared, professional, attentive, friendly, and extremely efficient. He communicates clearly, gives complete information the first time, and never makes you ask the same question twice. Exactly what outstanding hotel service should look like. I was so impressed that I even took a photo with Todd -- something I rarely do with hotel employees. Please look at the photos attached to this review. Vagabond Inn gets 5 stars -- actually 5 stars squared, maybe even cubed! If you're traveling through Bishop on your way to Burning Man, don't overthink it -- stay at Vagabond Inn. Great value, incredibly clean, and genuinely friendly service. And Todd -- you are a star. Keep it up!

Comfortable basic room. Clean. Not too expensive. Good enough!…read more Breakfast was nothing special but then there's Schats, and a Starbucks across the street anyways
