"The property is old and . Very expensive there they were out of a lot of the food that we asked for on the menu. We had to park quite a ways away from our room and walk up the hills and then no elevator to get to our room. I guess it’d be OK if you’re 20 years old but when you’re in your 60s is not very much fun"
"Don’t judge this place by the outside- this little motel ended up being exactly what I needed after an intense hike. The room is small, as expected, but perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for a clean, comfortable place to shower, cool off, and rest. The AC absolutely cranks, which was heaven after being out in the heat all day.
The owners have added so many thoughtful touches: toothbrushes, single-use toothpaste, makeup remover wipes, bath gels, plus a mini fridge and microwave in the room. When I checked in, I was greeted with bottled water, fruit, and cookies, such a kind welcome after a long day.
There are also cute patios with hanging lights where you can sit and eat takeout, and there’s even a homemade ice cream shop right next door with a really vibey outdoor patio.
One of the owners mentioned a nearby trail just behind the motel, and I’m so glad I listened. I ended up walking through the beautiful Mary DeDecker native plant garden alongside a babbling creek with little bridges and an incredible sunset view over the mountain ridge. It turned into one of the highlights of my trip.
This place may not look like much from the outside, but it has heart, kindness, and everything you actually need for a peaceful stay."
"I stayed at Mt Williamson on a business trip. It is early in the season so the place is not humming in its operation. The room is rustic but functional. There isn't much amenities to speak about. What bother me to most is the poor sound insolation. My unit is close to the main road and at night when big trucks and speeding motorists speed by, the noise penetrates the room and it would be difficult to sleep if you are a light sleeper. Check in and check in hours are limited and much of the information about the motel and surrounding areas are self-help. I will probably not going to stay at Mt Williamson in the future given there are other options that I will try to test out."
"This was one of the best hotels I have stayed at in a while. We attended the annual Manzanar gathering and needed to bring our 3 small dogs as we did not have anyone to watch them. The staff was so friendly upon check in and asked if we wanted treats for our pets. they gave me three doggie treat bags wrapped in paw print cellophane which was so cute. Their breakfast is amazing. Full breakfast with scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausages, cereals, muffins, and the best part was they had a automated pancake machine! so cool! Ice machine worked great and they even had a little laundry room if you needed to wash clothes. Will definitely book again next year!"
