Family getaway worth it

The stay felt nostalgic for me. I couldn’t help but remember the joy of childhood trips. The new appliances in the room were nice, especially the microwave and fridge, made things so much easier.

It wasn’t inexpensive but definitely reasonable for what we got.

I adored the charming vintage decor that filled the lobby, adorned with Hollywood memorabilia. The wooden furniture and cozy seating areas made it a delightful spot to relax and enjoy a warm drink.

More comfortable seating in the common areas, please.

The historic charm of my room was fantastic. The Jacuzzi bathtub was a good surprise after a long day of hiking. It's cozy and comfortable with all the essentials, making it a perfect stay. I loved the fast Wi-Fi, and the outdoor pool was a nice treat too!

Stunning views from the room window.

I can't believe the level of neglect here! The mattress was old and sagging, making it impossible to get comfortable. Additionally, the air conditioning was loud, interrupting my sleep constantly. What’s worse, I noticed strange creaks from the floor, which made me dread every footstep taken by those above me.

do recommend for a weekend trip

Comfortable room, pleasant amenities, with a good breakfast option nearby at Alhambra bakery and easy access to great restaurants like Merry Go Round.

Not a luxurious stay.

I had a pleasant stay in a Queen Room with Two Queen Beds. The beds were very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The staff was friendly and attentive. The location provided fine views of Mt. Whitney. I highly recommend this place for its cleanliness and charm. 🌄

The renovated historic hotel offers a cozy King Room with beautifully decorated interiors and quality appliances. The heater maintained the perfect temperature, ensuring comfort throughout the night. While the location is convenient, the swimming pool's proximity to the parking lot slightly detracted from the ambiance. Breakfast options could have been improved, as the selection was limited.

my stay was unexpectedly great. the room was clean and cozy, and much better than what i experienced at another local motel. the staff were super friendly and accommodating throughout my visit.

shower water took too long to warm up.

The charming old Hollywood memorabilia in the lobby felt like stepping back in time, and the accessible parking made getting around a breeze. It was lovely to enjoy the cozy atmosphere in such a historic place.

More comfortable seating in common areas, please.

Fabulous views and a comfy room! The mini fridge was perfect for my late-night snacks, and the renovations give it a fresh vibe. Plus, walking to eat was a delightful bonus!

The pool was closed—really put a damper on my hopes of a post-hike cannonball!
