Very relaxing stay. Pool and jacuzzi were great. Yes, the room on the historic hotel side was antiquated, but it was clean, comfortable, and quiet. It was fun taking a step back in time, and it is nice knowing for future travels, they have the more updated motel side if preferred. I hope I can return again soon. Charming hotel and town.

The hotel was wonderful, especially for a historical place. Really enjoyed my stay. I would've given the hotel 5 stars had if not been for the swing shift Front Desk agent. I don't know her name as she didn't wear a name tag. She had a bad attitude from the point I walked in and said, "Hello." The rest of the staff was good.

Nice older property. I mistakenly booked a room without a shower or toilet. I was assured that the public bath would not be busy and that was true. Nice and clean. I will return but definitely will insist on a ground floor room - the stairs for this 82 year old with luggage was very difficult and no elevator. Still, enjoyed the hotel

I generally love the old-fashioned side of the Dow, and my room was comfortable and clean, but the fact that the shower runs from cold to scalding off and on as you shower is disqualifying. Also, I needed to briefly use a plug-in hair tool to get ready, and there was not a plug anywhere near a mirror.

The Historic Hotel should be torn down..Buyer beware !! No air conditioning, only a small vent by the ceiling that I was told was a Swamp Cooler. Coming out of the vent was Hot Air. The room had to be 85 degrees. I found a bed bug in the sheets, one electrical outlet, dirty carpet, holes in the walls. HORRIBLE.

Make sure you know what you're booking: the Economy rooms in the old Villa do not have bathrooms or showers en suite. (I did know that.) If you're looking for a cowboy-culture rustic vibe and a cheap place to stay, Dow Villa fits the bill--there's John Wayne (and other cowboy film) memorabilia all over. There are no mini-fridges, microwaves or coffeemakers in the rooms, but there is decent coffee available from very early morning in the lobby. Wifi is good, AC maybe less so. But the place is over 100 years old. The exterior is picturesque and the lobby, which is stocked with games, books, a computer and comfy furniture is charming. Pool and hot tub are nice. Location is central to Lone Pine, which is pretty small and outside of its Whitney Portal status, doesn't have much going on.

Horrible stay. No air conditioning on a 97F day. The room we were assigned also did not have a private bath - which was news to us. Their website did not disclose that tidbit of information. So we shared two toilets down the hall and one shower stall with 22 other rooms. (!) When we asked if we coukd upgrade to a room with AC, we were told they had plenty available - but we would have to pay triple the price. Really!? We did not even think to ask if a hotel room in the desert Southwest would have AC. Beware! These were but two of the disappointments. Take NOTHING for granted.

Make sure when you book a room through a third party you ask about having your own restroom. I booked one with a community shared restroom and shower. Not what I expected but other than that room was just fine

A real gem. A Piece of western history. I love staying here. I stayed in the older part of the hotel. The room was small, but very quaint and comfortable. I watched westerns on the tv. I slept well. The room was very clean.
