Cute old school rural motel

What a cool little spot to stay! We picked them because it looked like a nice quiet place to get away for a night. Staff at check in was helpful and polite, even pointed out a nice coffee shop for the morning. No dedicated lobby and the website was a little out of date but overall great older place to bunk near lots of cool old school charm. We will definitely be back
Ashton, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's a nice place to layover. Room was quite good for the price.
Greg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient and comfortable

We stayed one night on the way to L.A. from the north. Our unit was like a little apartment, with a bed in the "living room" and one in the bedroom. It was very pleasant and right next door to a gas station and a country market. The unit had a kitchen too! I think The Bristlecone Motel is designed for people who are staying longer than we are, but it worked for us as well.
Barbara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice old style motel. Clean and modern. The streaming on the wifi tv could have worked better, but all in all, we would stay there again.

They Welcome Pets

Clean and comfortable. Convenient location for a small town. Just a little jaunt down the road from Mammoth. Would definitely stay again.

One night stay on our way to Los Angeles. Friendly staff, remodeled room. Pillows were too thin. Besides that, everything was great!
Edna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I really like this little place. Would definitely stay there again.
Kudura, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Front desk (gas station) was a little rushed and curt, check in and check out was a little odd. Overall decent room, and value. Would stay again in a pinch.
Nathan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice One-Night Stay

I thought checking in at the Chevron next door was a little strange, but the process was quick and the staff was friendly and helpful with my questions. Being unfamiliar with the area, he was helpful in suggesting to me hiking trails and a good local place to eat. The room was clean and comfortable and quiet for the one night I was there. Found a beautiful hike just a short drive away. The only negative was having to take the ice bucket to the Chevron to get ice from the soda fountain.
Carolyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quiet and convenient.

One night stay on on work related trip. Room was clean, and what I expected to find in a small, local, high dessert town. Not luxurious but old school charm with modern amenities, surprised how quiet it was especially on main HWY. (395). Could not beat the price, and everything in town is within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again
Eric, 1-night trip

Liked the quietness. Staff has zero customer service skills.

Would stay here again.
Luke, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

My room was given to someone else but luckily they had vacant rooms. The worst thing was that I was woken up in the middle of the night due to TV turning on on its own. It happened 2 times until i eventually unplugged it from the power source. No sleep at night for $120

Get what you expect.

Room was clean and had the expected amenities. Check in was quick (in the gas station market) and check out online was fast.
Paul, 1-night trip

It's an average old motel in a small town. Completely adequate. What does one expect?

Great service at checking and checkout. Room was clean and location was perfect for our family trip.
