Geeta was a wonderful host. She was kind and cared about our comfort. We took our dog and there are places to walk in the back of the property where it is safe and off the highway. The room was clean and had adequate space. There were lots of special touches, including the welcome basket. We will definitely come back again. Thank you, Geeta

very nice classic motel court, friendlly hosts, new furniishings, HVAC being upgraded (half-finished). Only issue was too much carpet scent on rug: discussed with managment who took note and promised to inform housekeeping. Customer focused owners.

Greeted warmly by the proprietor. The motel is a set piece for a quieter time. Rooms are small, but very well kempt. I'm a frequent traveler along 395, this place is going to be my go-to property when I'm traveling along the Owens Valley
