The bath towels are plush and blue, rather than the usual institutional white. The bedspreads have georgeous patterns and the mattresses are comfortable. There are no motel cleaner and perfume smells. One can bring the car right up to the front door, making unloading and loading a breeze. On the downside: Our cabin was small, not a lot of space to move around. There was some traffic noise from highway 395 which abated overnight. The place had a friendly vibe of cyclists, hikers, and outdoorsy folks. We will be back!

Don't judge this place by the outside - this little motel ended up being exactly what I needed…read moreafter an intense hike. The room is small, as expected, but perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for a clean, comfortable place to shower, cool off, and rest. The AC absolutely cranks, which was heaven after being out in the heat all day. The owners have added so many thoughtful touches: toothbrushes, single-use toothpaste, makeup remover wipes, bath gels, plus a mini fridge and microwave in the room. When I checked in, I was greeted with bottled water, fruit, and cookies, such a kind welcome after a long day. There are also cute patios with hanging lights where you can sit and eat takeout, and there's even a homemade ice cream shop right next door with a really vibey outdoor patio. One of the owners mentioned a nearby trail just behind the motel, and I'm so glad I listened. I ended up walking through the beautiful Mary DeDecker native plant garden alongside a babbling creek with little bridges and an incredible sunset view over the mountain ridge. It turned into one of the highlights of my trip. This place may not look like much from the outside, but it has heart, kindness, and everything you actually need for a peaceful stay.

It was really quiet most of the time after midnight: except for a few 18 wheeler semi trucks passing by every night; but got used to it and didn't really disturb our sleep. Clerk was nice and attentive. Decent breakfast and fast service; budget friendly prices. Decorated rustic lobby and bedrooms. Parking was very secure and adjacent to outdoor pool. Great place to stay here for a day or two while you are on your adventure hiking trip to Mount Whitney and Death Valley National Park. But beware; winters are chilly and summers are scorching!

The new owners don't seem to grasp the historic importance and charm of this place.

And there's the warm lighting i the once-cosy front area.that has been replaced with cold LED bulbs. Wait, one more thing. The pool & hot tub are out of order, the sign on the gate says NO TRESSPASSING. How about "So Sorry, this Area is Being Repaired". Would have been nice to know this before I booked. I'm done.

They went over and beyond to making sure I had every need was met during my stay . I stopped in for one night. I ended up staying six days. I explored the beauty in the area.

So if you're ever in the area and you're looking for accommodations, I would highly recommend staying at the Quality Inn in Lone Pine. I made some very dear friends there and will be traveling back every year for my quiet time after spending weeks time at our family home in Tahoe. On my way home from our families vacation, it is absolutely necessary to take some alone time, in nature to find my peace! Many blessings folks, you will find peace and the beautiful area. You will find kindness in their staff. See y'all soon
