Cottages in Inyo County

"While the pictures look nice, the rooms are VERY worn. This place beats paying 3xs the price of hotels in mammoth so it’s worth it for the price and a 30min drive. Cleanliness is LACKING. Floors are warped and coming apart but the bed was surprisingly comfortable. The fridge was also spacious! Would stay again but keep expectations low "

"The mountain view was outside. The ONLY local shop was the gas station/check in desk - not much selection, except for the ice cream freezer."

"Always a comfortable stay"

"I’m in my late 50’s and have no children. At my age and traveling alone I can tolerate a lot. But this property was not very well maintained. I know they must respect the night sky and limit light pollution, so be warned when you walk the grounds at night bring a flashlight! They have zero-night lighting. Plus, driving around the campus was difficult because there is very little traffic signage giving proper direction. The parking striping has faded, and it was difficult to navigate the roads. They can place reflectors on the pavement that will illuminate the road path when the headlights shine on them. That would help illuminate the road but do not give off light pollution. During breakfast no one at the restaurant was managing the buffet. They ran out of fruit, eggs and sausage. They also ran out of coffee during breakfast! That can’t happen. No one was bussing the tables. Half the tables were not available because of someone else’s dirty dishes. I stayed in building six (6). The hallway smelled like a basement. The room was fine, but they need to clean the full-length mirror and pay attention to the those kind of details. The bathroom was also fine. The towels were old and were not soft. The Tavern was nice. The Post Office was difficult to find. They had people driving around on golf carts. I’m not sure if it was a taxi service or not. No one offered me a lift. "

"This review is for the Standard Room. In retrospect, I should have chosen the Deluxe Room, which looks nicer in the pictures. The location of the hotel is great right inside Death Valley National park. The room was clean, but older. The shower was very good and the air conditioner worked well. The small TV worked OK. The staff were all very helpful. The restaurant was convenient and pretty good. There are not a lot of restaurant choices inside the park. The mattress was very soft and after three days my back was aching. There is a refrigerator in the room, but no microwave or coffee maker. Overall, it was better than I expected for an older motel inside the park. "

"Such nice and welcoming staff! The property is older and shows its age;however, it was clean and the bed was great! The place could use an update with the avocado green from the 70s. If you looking for a clean place to sleep this is it!"

"I understand that this a "historic" motel... However, nothing was said when I made my reservation that I would have to let the water trickle for 15 minutes in order to have hot water in the shower... As far as having hot water in the bathroom sink, that never happened... The heater was not working properly and I had to request a space heater. The room was very clean, however. What was surprising in this hotel and in the room was the number of "don't do" signs and penalties you would incur if you didn't comply. I understand that this kind of signs are necessary, but there were so many of those that I was almost afraid to sleep in the bed! Inside the motel in the hallway, there was a bucket collecting water from the leaking pipes on the ceiling... The exterior of the hotel was very dusty. If they want us to run the shower for 15 minutes, then they sure do have enough water to spray with a hose the immediate outside grounds! Parking was ample and safe."
