This was a great little hotel with so much character. I really would have been disappointed if we stayed at another hotel while we were there to climb Mt. Whitney. I didn't even know about the fact that it was closely related with western movies until we stayed there. I loved the bed, the pillows, the large flat screen tv.... more

We stayed in the Historic Dow Villa about a year ago and enjoyed it so we went there again on our way back home. Room was still nice but this time, we had some issues. - although we were glad they had AC in the Historic rooms, it was impossible to turn it down and it blew right on our... more

Lone Pine is definitely a 'one horse' town but great to recharge your batteries after Death Valley and before Yosemite and nowhere better than the Dow Villa Motel, especially as you can have a dip in the heated outdoor swimming pool and jaccusi. The room we had was spacious and comfortable with two queen sized beds, tv, coffee machine, sofabed,... more

Stopped at The Dow Villa en route to Yosemite, driving up the valley floor from Death Valley. Stayed one night and had a quiet little dinner in this quiet little cowboy town with LOTS of history (most of it fromt he movies...) The Dow Villa is your typical west coast drive in motel, a very retro sign out front, and... more

We stayed in Lone Pine on the way from Yosemite to Death Valley and the Dow Villa Motel suited us perfectly. The room was clean and of a good size and the motel is located in the middle of the town within walking distance of bars, shops restaurants etc. We also took advantage of the launderette across the road and... more

My husband and I chose Lone Pine and the Dow Villa Motel for a 3 day getaway for our anniversary. The location was just 2 1/2 hrs from home and seem like a nice, quiet place to just unwind. We were really surprised at how nice the Dow Villa Motel was. We had read the mixed reviews but decided the... more

Recently visited Las Vegas, Death Valley & Lone Pine. Stayed at the Dow Villa which is a gem in the middle of the desert! Perfect location, right in town near all restaurants and shops. Room was spotless if just a bit more in price than it should have been. But the location made up for the extra cost. Steve at... more

I have given 5 stars, not because this is a 5 star hotel with luxury amenenties but rather it does exactly what is supposed to do perfectly. Large clean rooms, complete with fridge, microwave, alarm clock, spotless bathroom etc. Like the previous reviewer I stayed in the motel so cannot comment in the rooms in the older hotel section although... more

Exactly what we hoped it would be - great US motel feel. Stayed in the ground floor of the refurbished motel so can’t comment on the old hotel, but the lobby and reception room looked ok & traditional. Location – Middle of town so close to everything - not that Lone Pine has much to offer but for a hotel... more
