Super fast check in. They just asked my name and handed me my key. Less than 30 seconds. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Checkin is at the general store in front of the rooms so you can get groceries and snacks as well as fuel all within feet of your room. Also prices room prices are very affordable compared to other locations in Bishop or Independence. I highly recommend

This is a very basic hotel off of the main road through town. The biggest draw is the location --- Big Pine being a gateway to many outdoor hiking areas. The shower was warm, the sheets and towels clean. That's all we needed tonight.

better than expected

It was what we needed during long road trip. A comfortable bed. The mattress pillows and sheets were surprisingly comfortable. Nice to be able to park in front of your entry door. Also the real coffee maker with fresh ground coffee. But weird that you had to check in a Chevron Gas Station.
