Probably best motel in the area, nothing to complain about. Well organized, clean room, decent breakfast, the tv has youtube and netflix, rotating shower head, and everything works

Nearly immaculate room had very good lighting, was equipped with microwave and (gurgling) fridge. Also came with a surprising supply of gratis snacks -- and earplugs, which some may find useful for blocking the sound of trucks on 395. Adirondack chairs outside each of the 6 rooms contributed a welcoming touch. Note: this is a remotely operated motel with no staff on site. Also, for the price of a room, guests have a right to expect an ice machine. Shower head was uncomfortably low, while bath towels were of excellent quality. Oddly, hand towels were of only fair quality, and wash rags were so thin they might have come from Motel 6. Instead of snacks, how about bottled water?

It looks cute from the outside and nice views of the mountains. Some snacks provided, but only 2 coffee bags for 4 people. Fridge is not working properly and very loud. Airco is loud and need filter change. Toilet is leaking. Low water pressure.

The room was clean, but extremely noisy. We unplugged the refrigerator, everything we could think of but the grinding sound like when your Keurig starts to brew never ceased. Also, we could annoyingly hear the neighbors laughing into the wee hours of the morning. Lastly, there are no food options in Independence, where the lodge is located. After a long drive from Reno, who wants to drive 30 minutes round-trip to Lone Pine to get food for dinner. We ate from the Mexican food truck, which was less than mediocre. For upwards of $150.00 that we paid for one night, you must be able to find nicer lodging with food options for that price in Lone Pine. I selected the lodge from the high rating and reviews on Expedia (which I do not understand at all) and was terribly disappointed. I hope that you read my review to save yourself the poor experience that I had.

Spartan, but adequate for an overnight stay. The town is itself is not worth staying at (though it has an awesome view of the Eastern Sierras).

This place was adorable. We stayed in room 4. We appreciated the snacks and charm. The check in was super easy as they text you all the room access. Since we showed up late this worked great for us.

We enjoyed our stay at Eastern Sierra Motor Lodge. It was easy to check in and the owner quickly responded when we needed anything. There are very few restaurants in Independence so we had to drive to Lone Pine to eat. There was no grocery store either.

Noisy, cold, cramped, overpriced

If you’re into non stop trucks going by less than 20 ft from your bed, if you’re into heaters being too small to keep you and yours warm, if you love your shower not draining and flooding the floor, and you enjoy stubbing your toes on furniture too big for a small room - and you really love over paying for getting no sleep - this place is for you!
