I was looking for a less expensive, but comfortable, alternative to camping to attend an Autumn workshop that I love in the Eastern Sierras. A search popped up this old and very cute hotel just steps from where I needed to be to meet my group. It is a remodeled and very cute old road stop on HWY 395. The... More

We were 3 people looking for an overnight stay in Lee Vining. Managed to get a two room/one bathroom 'family room' and were perfectly content with it. No, it wasn't big (at all!) - I wouldn't want this to be my base for a week's holiday, but for one night it was just fine. Everything was clean, it was quiet,... More

I chose this place from trip advisor review, but on our six week trip of the USA it is by far the worst we have stayed in, and its not the cheapest either! To be fair the place is clean and tidy which is not always a given at motels, but the rooms are tiny, literally have to climb over... More

This is a really charming motel with a pleasant exterior and some great places to sit outside and enjoy good weather. The rooms themselves are substandard but at $89 it's one of the better deals in Lee Vining. We had one of the rooms with a private bathroom, but there was no TV. There was a good oscillating fan that... More

My father and I chose El Mono based on Trip Advisor reviews, and after finding Murphy's was booked. Let me preface my review by saying that I am a huge fan of family owned/Mom and Pop motels. Give me a Ray's Den or Mt. Williamson any day over Best Western! I am not some fastidious weirdo that expects perfection in... More

Great little place, amiable and well run great cafe, relax outside room on basket chairs and contemplate the day great breakfast up the road at Nelly, lots to do around, hot springs to mountains good bed and effort with choice of soap, freshly decorations, youthful and friendly

We booked here after reading the other tripadvisor reviews, after initially being given a room for two instead of three people, we were moved to a great room above the coffee shop. It is was a bit noisy being on the main road, but the friendly staff and nice mellow vibe of the place more than made up for it.

This is one of the very few places that draws me to return instead of doing my usual exploration of whatever New place I can visit. The scenery, people and atmosphere of this little Inn and it's little town are wonderful beyond description. My kids love to hang out in the coffee shop and garden between hikes. I adore the... More

Cafe au lait offers superb atmosphere, the best coffee, chaos biscuits to die for and coffee table reads to stir the mind. And reasonable prices. Loved it
