    Caelo M.

    My mom, myself and my dog were under mandatory evacuation from the Woolsy Fire last Friday November 9th. I knew that Los Angeles in general would be a total Cluster Muck because of evacuees like myself...and well even on the best day of the year, traffic in Los Angeles is the worst traffic in the WORLD. So I decided to head out of town in what I believed would be the opposite direction of my fellow refugees. My ultimate aim...Inyo County and the Eastern Sierras...(what better place to ponder the possibility of becoming homeless by fire). Palmdale's Motel 6 was our first stay Friday, but finally made it to Independence, California on Saturday. Oh Rosetta!, you can't help but become immediately smitten with that big wide smile and the bright playful light of her eyes - she is the proprietor and queen of the the Independence Courthouse Inn. I told her my story and pointed to my 80 year old mom and my dog in my dusty truck - She dropped the nightly rate SIGNIFICANTLY folks and immediately began to run around to find the perfect rooms for us. Her man, Tim, was also a super nice guy and equally helpful. (I should say it was the only pet friendly place I found in Independence and that's how I ended up here) The rooms were decorated super cute for the hunters and fishermen who come up seasonally to stay. Everything was squeaky clean and theres a cute little outside space to BBQ and hang out. We loved loved loved landing here under the circumstances- I could not have found a better spot or nicer people. I highly recommend this little motel. And I'll be back soon, whether we lose our house or not.

    Room is very clean and comfortable, and the owner was very kind and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!

    Geeta did our laundry, and placed extra thick towels in our room which were a luxury after being on the trail for two weeks.

    carne asada fries here were so delicious. i'm from los angeles and i gotta say they did it so well…read morefor being a little mountain resort restaurant. i loved the contrast of the creamy green cilantro crema with the red chipotle crema on the perfectly tender carne asada, which i'm pretty sure was meat from the famed harris ranch of california. the fries were so perfectly crisp and the beans, cheese, etc all complemented the flavors so nicely. we also tried the apple and berry pie. it was well done as well, got one slice a la mode with icecream :). the workers here are so nice and personable. real friendly people, we loved this young man i forget his name but he was from georgia or something. they sell a lot of cute souvenirs in here such as apparel, candles, postcards and stickers branded with mineral king. they also sell backpackers dehydrated meals and little toiletries and drugs you may have forgotten. always make a trip here when i'm around. love it. they also have showers attached to the bathroom and you could just walk in and take a shower after a lil hike ?? maybe :)

    Skip the traffic heading into the park and bust a right onto Mineral King Road - it's a fun drive…read morebut the road is in disrepair and there is currently construction so check the local traffic reports. This gem is worth it. Old 1929 cabin resort with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly service. And the food is wonderful. Carne Asada fries are delish and the portion is mountain size. Quinoa salad tasty with some zing - if you like tahini this is for you.

    Been staying here for almost 25 years. Love this place man! So many memories. Owner is really cool…read moreand the rooms are always clean. Def recommend it.

    Love this Motel. They have REAL DOOR KEYS (:-)…read more Been driving past it for years. Can't believe I didn't check it out sooner because it is NOW officially my go to motel in this area. This appears to be a family owned business that includes the MOTEL and MARKET (where you check in) and GAS station. Scott was super nice when checking us in. I actually thought "Wow...how lucky to have him as an employee". Another employee, Wiley was over the top helpful. I love discovering a little gem like this in a remote area without many choices !!! The roofs are full of solar. Love this! There IS a wheelchair accessible room with parking and a ramp and a huge bathroom with safety bars in the combo TUB/shower. This is room 19. It also has a Roku TV which had not been properly set up last night. Wiley, from the store tried diligently to get it set up but we just didn't have the proper logins. So we moved to room 21 with a regular TV. (:-). Room 21 has an awesomely comfortable bed. Something I noticed... that I've never noticed in any hotel...was that not only was the mattress super comfortable but the BEDDING IS SOOOO COZY. I don't know why, but it's the softest snuggly bedding I've ever noticed. I was laying in bed thinking "I'm sooo comfortable". This isn't a huge room but it has huge room counter space. Lots of room to spread out. The bath counter in 21 must be over 6'. Very convenient! Everything was clean and nice. There are plenty of outlets for charging devices including toothbrushes etc. -AC is great -Separate wall HEATER has a separate wall thermostat above the bedside light. -Coffee Maker with coffee -Microwave -Fridge with tiny corner freezer. My blue ice was too large to fit inside but stayed frozen on the shelf under the freezer. If you have small blue ice they will fit. -Hairdryer in bathroom. -Extra pillows -Shampoo etc in shower -Nice bathroom tile floor. This room was obviously renewed a while back. Nice drywall texture etc. It's a minimalist room as to decor, but fully functional and inviting. As for the MARKET...they take their market very seriously. It's literally a mini-supermarket! They seem to sell everything, so if you need anything it's possible you might find it here! If you find this review useful please vote!
