The owner/proprietor was very friendly. I liked the assortment of snacks and items in the lobby that were offered for free. If we had more time, we would have liked to have used the bbqs and picnic tables on the grounds. Loved the full-sized refrigerator—freezer in the room. And plenty of room to park our SUV with 20 ft Airstream trailer.

I was skeptical that a low-priced two-star hotel would meet my standards, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a great value with friendly management. I wish they had better signage because I drove past it the first time and cellular internet was sparce, but that's the worst thing I can say. Great comfortable rooms!

Great choice for us. Good location near Markleeville and surrounding area. Easy to find. Friendly proprietor. The room was comfortable. A couple of small things to mention: (1) The lamp between the beds would not turn on or off. One had to unplug it. (2) One of plugs in the outlet on the inside of the wall facing parking lot was dead. If we are luckly enough to reutrn to Markeeville, I will certainly prioritize staying there.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The property is in the middle of nowhere which is nice. The WiFi is terrible. Couldn’t even watch a 2 hour movie without it cutting out multiple times. I had a dog with me, it was $40 charge per night which I knew. However the old man at the front desk said I had to have cash, which I did not. I went to Markleeville with hopes of finding an ATM. There wasn’t one (Friday at 7:30PM) went back and he asked me to stay until 9 am the next day when the nearby deli opens. He finally figured out how to charge my husbands card. Bed/pillows comfy. Room floor could have been cleaner. For the price, I wouldn’t go back.
