Nice place and convenient to good restaurant across the street and central to area attractions. Would stay there again except that the beds in our room were horribly uncomfortable. Awoke every morning with bad back ache. Not worth the pain.

poor value for the price. Breakfast was a honey bun in plastic wrap. It was across the street from a restaurant. Heard semi-trucks going through town all night. Wouldn't go back. Mike

I’ve passed up this place many times in my travels but decided to try it. Clean and comfortable. Nice areas outside to enjoy the weather and scenery. Great location.

Views not worth the mediocre room
The property is clean but rundown. One lamp didn’t work & slider was difficult to open/lock. For $200 per night I expected a box of Kleenex in room. There are a couple balconies with table & chairs to sit & view Mono Lake which is nice but was right outside our room & had a loud grouo out there one night which made it difficult to sleep. Location is great but view isn’t worth the sub service.

Old but kind of cute. The staff were very nice and helpful and the new management's continental breakfast appreciated. Across the street from a deadly gift store and delightful cafe. Loved the view of Mono Lake (which we visited, very very interesting ecotour!) and the stream below. Star off for the iffy plumbing but very clean. Good for Yosemite visit.

We loved our view room. It was situated right at the edge of the highway but that side didn't have any windows so we thankfully didn't hear traffic while trying to sleep. Sadly a loud motorcycle and truck parked right near our room's entry left before dawn, waking us up far too early. The only negatives were the ridiculously meager breakfast (better to not offer one at all) and the old shower fixtures etc. We had plenty of hot water and pressure was good too. Mattresses were great! There's a great breakfast option across the street - go there instead!
