It was nicer than expected from an older motel. The room was tidy, clean and appeared to have newer carpet, paint and sheets. The bedside lighting fixtures are newer and are equipped with USB ports for charging electronics. The room is also equipped with a hairdryer, coffeemaker and fridge for convenience.
The gentleman at the front desk was nice and professional. The hotel has a few tiny travel size items (toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant) for sale (cash only) Something like .50 per item and a few drink items in a fridge (not certain of price).
A lot of people like us are there to summit Mt. Whitney and leave the hotel before midnight. As with any hotel, be mindful that people may be sleeping (even in the middle of the day...lol) and definitely when you're leaving in the middle of the night. So shhhhhhh :-)
If you're there to summit Whitney and need a clean, quite place to stay for a few hours, I would recommend Trails Motel.
