This is a very basic motel with the front desk in a gas station. If you can stand the bug situation its ok for a man alone but I would never bring a woman here.

We got the last room available on one night of Memorial Weekend. It was the end unit, #27, which is a one-​bedroom apartment. It was a comfortable and spacious accommodation for three adults. With the full kitchen and refrigerator, the motel room was very practical for us. It is very simple and plain, offering us a good place to hang out during a storm with two little dogs. We would gladly stay there again.

We stayed here for a night before our backpacking trip up to Big Pine Lakes. We got in late and it was a little weird checking in at a gas station. The room is small. Probably the smallest room we have ever stayed in. It was clean enough. By that, I mean it wasn’t pristine, but not horrible. Think of your first trip over to a new chicks house. She may not keep the cleanest pad, but it’s clean enough for you to return and not dump her. That’s how this place is. Maybe a little dated. It has everything we needed for an overnight sleep. Comfortable bed and a nice warm shower with good water pressure, TV, microwave, refrigerator, and good wifi. The price was fair and I would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay for basic accommodations. This place was recently remodeled & very clean. We were going to stay in bishop but saw a crappy room for $ 120 but decided to keep heading south into Big Pine. This place was way cleaner & half the price. The drive to the ancient cone forest is worth the trip. There’s laundry next door & is adjacent to an awesome backpacking country store.

My mom, sister, and I stayed here 2 weeks ago and got BED BUGS! We had dinner last night and were shocked that we all had itching bumps on our legs and arms. The only place we had been together was the hotel and we are 100% sure it was there. Both my mom and I are now worried we tracked it back home and after reading up on bed bugs, they hide almost anywhere and are only eliminated via a fumigator that would use pesticides or heat your home +120 degrees. Not cheap! I’m now scared to sleep in my own bed because I unpacked my bag on my bed. I’m furious and feel helpless at the same time! Do yourself a favor and just stay somewhere else! It’s one thing to get bites at a hotel but to have to deal with a possible transmission and infestation in your own home is too much to risk!

Not the best, but not the worst. Spend $ 55 and you get what you pay for. Decently clean and pretty good access to most things. Gas station attached has a very large market for just about anything you’d need. I’d stay there again

Great motel, clean, flat screen TV (didn’t use it, but appreciated the option), AC, mini fridge and microwave with convenience store RIGHT next door (read: in a pinch, no problems making frozen meals!) Wonderfully affordable for broke athletes doing crazy stage races in the neighborhood, a regular place for my roadie boyf, and I would happily stay here again!

we are recent residents to big pine. we are so pleased that our hardware needs are met. they will. bring in any item not in stock. an unlikely event.
