Extremely convenient - probably best location for hikers. Chevron store (also the hotel check in desk) has all the gear and food you need. They even have some exotic options. Location is not very quiet but safe, AC works. 40 mins away from all the major trails

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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

Heavy equipment yard outside door. Dump trucks, graders, backhoes, haulers, caterpillars, etc. that start at 5:20am. Hot room with broken blinds that let in streetlight to head of bed. Microwave's only working function was as a clock. Room #30 was absolutely the worst place I've ever stayed in my life (I'm 72 & been around world). I should have cont' driving another 15min to Bishop, but was too tired.

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.
