Was clean and cute! Walking distance to a lot of places on the south side of town. Easy and exactly what we needed. Internet/streaming was a bit slow, but that was minor.

We called early in the day and again around 8 oclock ar night and she answereboth times very quickly and made us feel comfortable. The room was very nice and we enjoyed the kitchen. Overall avery peaceful and restful experience. We will definitely benack another time! 😊

Great small old fashioned motel

Good stay, in spite of the issue at check in. We were staying at El Rancho hotel, got an email to check in at Trees motel, which we did for our key and talked to a gal who told me where I’ll ranch was ( .5 mi). We got ther and ther was no room number 108 (our room number). I called the number and they apologized and said someone was supposed to call me to let me know I was changed to Trees motel ( which we just left) due to plumbing issues. I received no call. We went back to Trees motel and there was room 107! You would have thought the girl looking at the envelope with my key in it would have known! Anyway the room was lovely, clean and the bedding was comfortable. The walls were very thin. The 4 people staying on one side of us had a lovely conversation and many laughs which we had to listen to, and the person on the other side snored all night! Other than that it was a lovely comfortable room maybe better insulation in walls between rooms???

I was there for only 45m. We got in late, had to drive to a different location to pick up my keys. When I went in and took a shower and went to go to the bathroom, the toilet did not fully flush. I had to flush a few times for just pee

I did not stay. The place needs a lot of work. Windows are not secure. There was no one from the motel on the premises either. I was also the only person on the premises at 7:30pm. I got another room close by. I went to the Tree Motel to return the keys. The manager said she would contact Expedia about refunding the fee.

Chaotic check in but good stay

When we first arrived we were told to pick up the key from a sister property. I got the key, opened the door and found someone else’s belongings. I was confused and as I just walked out the door and locked it, an elderly couple yelled at me asking me why I was lurking around their room. I showed them the envelope for the key and we were both confounded. Contacted the property manager and she was very apologetic about the incident, explaining that I had the master key and my room was double booked. Eventually we got a different room to stay for the night. Stephanie was polite and helpful despite the incident.

Perfect place for a long family weekend

Perfect place to stay while our family was in Bishop for a long weekend of climbing. We stayed in one of the bungalows and having the full kitchen was fantastic! Clean, comfortable, and an excellent value. We'll definitely stay there again next time.
