Top Independence Hotel Reviews

Bristlecone Motel

Bristlecone Motel

10/10 Excellent
"We were there to hike the big pine and this place is right by the entrance of glacier lodge rd to the hiking trail, not to mention its also a gas station and family mart all-in-one. I just feel like the place is perfect for what I need. I honestly don’t feel like it was loud at all cause I slept like a baby (maybe I was tired haha). Parking is free and if you are lucky, you get to park in front of your room. I would stay here again if I come back to the area."
