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.
The room was extremely hot , the cooling system was not cooling the room , there was no additional fan available . Extremely uncomfortable sleep in hot hot sweaty room .

When I'd booked an economy room, I should have read the small print. The bathroom was down the hall and the shower upstairs... I'd have booke elsehere if I had realized this. The worst aspect of the stay was that the inadequate communal air conditioning (no heat/cooling controls in room), kept my room at a sweltering muggy 76 degrees all night. The desk ffered me a fan. Because the television wasn't funcyioning, I was switched to another room where I was afraid to plug in the fan to the outlet that had detached from the wall and was hanging by the wires... When I got back from my ascent of Mt Whitneyy, I booked the Mt Whitneyy motel. Wonderful air conditioning and a great bed. Finally got some sleep.
The property was very historic and neat. It was clean and had a nice pool area. We ended up not staying because I did not read the fine print and understand that our room did not have a private bathroom nor did it have air conditioning. It was a very warm day and we came in off a long road trip and was looking forward to a cool room. The staff was amazing and the clerk who assisted us with canceling was wonderful.
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.
