Clean, comfortable accommodations in a very small town. Staff was helpful and friendly, Room was small but well appointed. Breakfast was excellent, with lots of choices in a nice atmosphere. The bathroom looked to have been recently updated and was large a quite nice.
Though I prefer to camp when traveling between Reno and San Diego, sometimes the weather or my timing doesn't work out right. When I have to stay somewhere, this is where I stay. On my last trip, I stayed because winds were cold and 30 mph+, and I had a car instead of my usual truck, and I didn't want a windy tent night up in the Alabama Hills. I travel with my dog and appreciate that this motel is dog-friendly. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and outfitted with everything I need. The breakfast is more than most motel breakfasts — as someone who doesn't eat gluten, I can find filling and nutritious options (eggs or yogurt + fruit). (I'm not celiac so can't speak to cross-contamination concerns — only that I have felt good after eating here.) And of course there is the beautiful backdrop of the mountains. I highly recommend for any travelers, particularly those traveling with a dog. It is wonderful to feel safe, welcome, at ease in those moments that camping is not possible or practical.
The staff is first rate, the morning breakfast standard and the rooms are clean and comfortable although a little dated. Its great for an overnight stop coming are going from Death Valley. I would definitely stay there again when visiting the park.
I stayed two nights - and it was a great ezxperience. The room was comfy, and exceptionally clean (as was the overall property). The complimentary breakfast was superb and the front desk staff were helpful and polite. I woulkd - if I coulkd - give it more than 5 stars!
We stayed here for a night while visiting the Lone Pine area. The room was spacious enough for 4 of us (we booked the larger size room). The beds were comfortable, and we slept well. The bathroom felt a little dated, with a tub shower that leaked a little water on the floor, even with appropriate use of the shower curtain, but the water was warm and the bathroom was spacious. We appreciated the included breakfast and felt that, for the rate, this was a great value. We would definitely stay here again.
Ive been coming here for about 12 years the front view of the mountains are always breath taking the staff are polite and accommodate me with any needs that might come up The beds are always clean and comfortable the heater and air conditioner always work. always ta pleasure to stay
Pros: The room is spacious and clean. They allocate you a parking space matching your room number so it'll be in front of your room or close enough, making it convenient. Staff in general are friendly except for the lady who checked us in. She was quite curt (not rude) but I guess it's been a long day. Breakfast food was pretty good with made-to-order pancakes. Sausages and bacon were really nice. We tipped the ladies because this is probably the best BW breakfast we've had. Cons: The air-conditioning unit in our room comes on every 3-5 minutes and is extremely loud, disrupting sleep. Wifi is unsecured and almost non-existent. It keeps dropping and takes time to re-connect. so if you need to do some work, it's not recommended. We had very low phone reception in the area too. Hot water for bathing isn't really hot. Having cars in front of the units also mean that at 5am-6am you'll hear a lot of people loading their trucks and setting off. So if you intend to sleep in, it's not great.
Great value. Very convenient location when traveling on 395 hwy. Clean, rooms in good condition, breakfast included. Good service. Easy access And great view of Mount Whitney from the hotel. Very close to restaurants and shops in Lone Pine.
Super clean and fresh. We always get the pet friendly room and I must say everything was very clean. The staff is friendly and always in a happy mood. It's our go to on our way south from Tahoe to the inlaws in Pauma Valley. Thank you again and happy holidays.
The Horseshoe Meadows fire threatened our home and we were forced to evacuate in the middle of the night. Best Western was able accommodate us and our fur babies without any problems. Michael at the front desk was welcoming, helpful & efficient. He directed us to our room and made sure our pets had a space to do their business. We're so grateful they were here. Thank you just isn't enough.
From the road, this looked like an older property and we adjusted our expectations. However, they had been pleasantly updated. The bathroom/shower was modern. Everything was clean. We asked for a room in the back, away from the highway. We were in Room 136 and it was indeed quiet. The room was very clean, the beds very comfortable.
Front desk and breakfast host were top notch and the rooms are very quiet. The location is perfect being slightly out of the main business corridor but on the way to all the locations of interest. It is the best Inn that Lone Pine has and is the easiest one to get in and out of and park at for unloading gear.
The room was great but the service was awesome. We came in with a big travel trailer and had no way to go get food. The lady working the front desk was just wonderful she offered us her car. She was so so kind. I haven't meet a person in my life time that would do that loan your car to a stranger. Best person ever Best Western you got a great employee hope you treat her well
Stayed for Mount Whitney hike. Wish windows were double pane more noise reduction. Clean rooms. Parking is right in front of rooms. One story is nice. Friendly staff. I love text messages and such. Room had microwave, small fridge no freezer. I liked two sinks one in bathroom and one outside
Great room for a great price. Nice and roomy bathroom. Free breakfast was cooked actually on a flat top in the back. Very good I should say. pool was freezing cold, but the views of Mount Whitney, and the rest of the eastern Sierra more than made up for it.
Very comfortable and clean deluxe queen with Mountain View. Well built with no traffic noise. Close to delightful Lone Pine town. Staff were nice and efficient. The breakfast was high quality for motel buffet, including scrambled eggs and burrito makings. Comfortable stay.
This was my 2nd stay here. Room was comfortable, but the A/C was loud and didn't cool the room enough overnight. The breakfast was good with plenty of options, but I was disappointed that the pancake machine was broken. The pool was nice, and was a good way to relax after a day hike. We arrived early and our room was ready, but we were still charged an early arrival fee without that fee being discussed. The bathroom had a strong sewer-gas smell, and the toilet was loose and loudly banged the wall when sitting down. We reported the smell to the front desk and he "went to check something" but the smell didn't fully clear. So we opened the small bathroom window, kept the bathroom door closed, and left the fan running. I looked out the bathroom window to see if there were any clues about the bad smell, and the view was of a junk yard - old water heater etc. Advice to management, get rid of the junk and grow fragrant flowers.
I was pleasantly surprised by the service and extras while staying with my family. Spacious, well-equipped rooms, friendly and attentive staff, and an unmatched view. The breakfast was a highlight for my kids, and I appreciated the contact from the hotel pre-arrival to make our check-in easy. The shower was great and there was plenty of parking.
Clean, comfortable, convenient, and quiet. There are fantastic views from the front and back of the property. Fully staffed (so rare these days) with courteous efficient help. We would definitely stay here again. Facility is in good repair.
We don't usually stay in Best Western's but we had heard it was "the best hotel in Lone Pine" and we were not disappointed. The staff were especially nice and helpful, and allowed us a late checkout due to our schedule. We booked a larger room which was very comfortable with a microwave, small fridge, and sofa. And despite 100+ degree weather outside, the a/c in the room was cool and did it's job. If we are ever in Lone Pine again we will definitely stay here.
Desk staff were friendly and cheerfully helpful. The included breakfast was appreciated. The room was neat and clean and the location was convenient after a long drive through Death Valley. Loved the mountain view from Main Street in Lone Pine. Great friendly, little town.
The motel charged me $25 to get into a room they had available anyway 2 hours early, and didn't mention this until the very end of the check in process. the greed of the owner is appalling. nice way to alienate customers There are many motels in Lone Pine. I'd use one of these
Charming hotel with a nice pool. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast included Not a wide variety - pancake, toast, yogurt, tortilla, egg, and chorizo. The staff were exceptionally friendly. About 25 minutes from the Whitney portal. Three min drive to a grocery and several restaurants.
IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT A ROOM, DO NOT BOOK THIS! This property has always been one of my favorites. Until I arrived at 11:30 PM on August 30, 2024 with an already-pre-checked in reservation that they had just let someone else check into!!! No other rooms available in the entire town. Left us driving two more hours south in the middle of the night. Pretty sure they "sold" my reservation to someone with a little $$ pushed across the counter. To make matters worse, we continued to receive "would you like a late checkout?" and "how was your stay?" messages. Not only did they let someone else check into our room, they left our reservation - and a reservation for a second room! - attached to our BW account. Frustrated and disappointed are extreme understatements. Shame on you, Best Western Frontier Inn; shame on you. You lost your #1 fan.
We didn't stay here however we were very kindly helped by Travis with our truck. We were passing through Lone Pine to Vegas about to head through Death Valley when our truck started alerting us of something we had no idea about. Long story short we got to Vegas safely after having Travis help and reasurre us with the error message, we just want to pass our thanks on to him :) Mark and Nats, from the UK
No hot water, no early check in, dogs in small dining area poorly working toilet, no management response for 5 days and still hadn't reached out to us with concerns. Called ahead for early check in and when we arrived staff told us room would not be available for over a hour.
Glad we had a reservation since this place fills up very quickly. Our room was quite comfortable. At check in the desk clerk was very courteous and helpful. We will make this a stopping point on our next trip through Lone Pine. Be sure to enjoy their free breakfast. It was quite good.
Truly a delight to stay here after camping out several nights in Yosemite! When I drove up, the style (layout) of the BW Frontier Motel reminded me of the cross-country driving trip my family took in 1968, when we would (very) occasionally stay in a nice motel with an outdoor pool, instead of sleeping in the car. The nice young man who checked me in at the front desk even smiled, instead of the usual frown I receive after not having bathed for several days! That being said, this motel has modern conveniences like a comfortable bed, mini refrigerator, coffee maker and powerful A/C. Such a nice surprise to have high quality refillable squeeze bottle shampoo/conditioner/soap in the bath...I didn't even have to use the mini-bottles that I brought with me! This motel has been *painstakingly* maintained to keep some highly appreciated touches like the original solid wood bathroom door with antique moulding, the comfortable vintage upholstered armchairs (not made out of plastic) and the mid-century bathtub with tight fixtures that you simply don't find anymore. Absolutely love it! As I grow weary of cheaply made, chain hotels with "free" mediocre-at-best breakfast included, it warms my heart to find a motel like this. Bravo!
Great place. We stayed there to go for Mt whittney hike. Very convenient and clean. A swimming pool is there and staff are friendly. The cost is reasonable for the place Breakfast is good. Will stay again if we ever are visiting the area again.
Staff were friendly and professional. Property was well kept and maintained. A jacuzzi would have been nice but there are so many other things to do in Lone Pine, that it was not a big deal. Breakfast was delicious and the coffee was spot on. I will stay there again.
Great customer service. The rooms are ok but I do really like the fact that. When curtains are drawn the room is very dark. I have not stayed at a few hotels just because they do not get dark enough. It seems that every BW room get the darkness I like.
Dated but clean and pleasant! Lovely pool outside although you are on noisy highway. Beautiful views of Mt. Whitney! The highlight was the breakfast! Both the items and the service by staff exceeded most other hotel breakfasts! Bed was a little hard for me could feel the springs.
This motel is the best. The location goes without saying. The staff are so friendly and helpful you know any issue will be fixed swiftly. I've stayed here many times and the rooms are always perfectly clean, a good size and super comfortable beds. There was a slight beeping noise on my most recent stay which turned out to be a smoke alarm battery warning in the laundry. The staff member at the front desk attended to this immediately in the middle of the night.
All the staff front desk,cleaning staff, maintenance crew all very friendly and asked me if I had a nice stay. :):):):):):):):):):):):)👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍💕👍👍👍💕💕💕💕👍👍👍💕💕💕👍👍👍👍👍👍💕💕👍👍💕💕💕👍👍💕💕👍👍💕💕💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎
Great clean hotel! No room housekeeping which was not good. Overall a great stay! Refrigerator, quiet rooms, walkable distance to restaurants and main road. They provide laundry o the facilities! Front desk help is superb. The breakfast is pretty awesome!
The perfect hotel for our Mt Whitney hike. It was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The hotel staff were all so nice and helpful when we had any questions. My husband loved the 24 hr free coffee. It was in the perfect location for all of our hiking needs. The pool is the perfect temperature to enjoy on a hot day.
Awesome spot to stay in Lone Pine, stayed before and after doing Whitney in a day and it was perfect. Great location, nice accomodations, awesome breakfast, friendly staff. Will be back (once I forget how tough Whitney was and start to think its a good idea again)
Excellent staff and hotel rooms. Facility looks like it is recently updated inside and outside. The only negative thing I could say is the air conditioner is very loud and difficult to sleep with. Breakfast looked like it was well prepared and from a new kitchen. It was very tasty for free buffet breakfast.
We stayed one night in Lone Pine and this property was a great location just off of 395. Our room was fresh, clean and nice air conditioning which was easy to adjust. Especially large bath room and nice size pool were bonuses.
Our st ay was great. Staff was great and accommodating. Our room was a little to close to the front so we asked for one a little farther back and they switched us with no problem. The room was nice and spacious. Breakfast hit the spot. Eggs, potatoes, sausage and flower tortillas. From the dinning room you can see Mt. Whitney. What a great view.
Very quiet, clean, convenient, friendly, and hands down the best breakfast of any BW that we've ever stayed at. Definitely our go-to place when we're in Lone Pine. Nearby “Seasons” Restaurant is also highly recommended. Sirloin was perfect!
We really enjoyed our stay at this very cute motel. It was convenient to park right outside the room and easily unload our bags. The room was clean and comfortable. We were towards the back of the property away from the road and it was very quiet. The pool was clean and attractive. A little too cold for me but my husband swam. Breakfast the next morning was good and it was nice to look at the snow on the mountains while we ate. The rose bushes around the grounds were beautiful. We stopped at the Museum of Western Film History and the Alabama Hills on the way out of town. That was really cool.
A very cute MOTEL located on the main road into Lone PIne. Staff very friendly, accommodations very good, pool excellent easy to get into and out onto the main road. Breakfast was a plus, so no need to find somewhere to eat in the morning before going out to explore the areas..
I was on a long drive home and I stopped in without a reservation. I got the last room which was a deluxe suite. The gentleman at the front desk was a delight. He was very professional and helpful. The room was clean and well appointed. I would recommend this property to anyone.
This is the 3rd time we stayed at BW Frontier when we traveled through Highway 395. Love the atmosphere, surrounding area, and the friendly people. We always booked and stayed at their larger room which had an open view of the field and mountains.
Picturesque, nicely located, swimming pool of character, decent breakfast. Room adjacent to the allotted parking. Small, near woodland and the entrance to the Death Valley pre-Park. Quite and obliging proprietess and a gem of its kind. Our second hotel stop in elevated inner California. Breathtaking emblematic views of the mountains in front of this lovely motel.
Great experience except for te one lady who didn't look up to address us. Kind of rude. Just a small quick question and she wouldn't look up at us to answer. Rude. Yup. Where is rhe humanity and human basic respect. It felt ugly. It didn't help we were people of color and she was white.
If you are into film like I am, you'll love to stay at this place and absorb some of the old western film history. This was my fisrt visit to Lone Pine, but I intend to return and when I do, I will stay at this Best Western Frontier!
The room was spacious, clean and i especially loved that each room was named from the 49's and 50's western stars of Hollywood. Staff were friendly and made check in a breeze. Great breakfast and was surprised there was a pool. Looked clean and inviting but didn't have time to check it out.
It was late and we were too tired to continue driving. The guy at the front was friendly and helpful and clearly recognized how tired I was as he quickly got us our room. The room was clean with no weird odors and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast served from 6-10a was great because it allowed us to sleep in.
Had fun waking up to see the Sierras every morning Went there to ride in the WTF gravel ride with my wife
Nice and mostly very clean room and hotel. Great staff. Would stay again and recommend it for your next trip. Very close to hiking and biking and some good small town home cooking!
Rooms are clean, spacious and the views are ridiculously good. The staff is so friendly. The location is perfect! Book it! You won't be sorry.
Staff was friendly. Clean large room with two sinks and very large bathroom counter, and good views out window and from parking lot. Road noise but it was muffled enough not to be a big problem. Breakfast and shower were not good. It had a huge jacuzzi (ick) that was also the shower, and it slopped down significantly for two feet toward the front where the shower was, making it a bit awkward, and possibly dangerous, to shower. Shower spray wasn't good enough to reach back to where the tub was close to level. Bathroom exhaust fan didn't work. Sunday breakfast we put hot food on our plates then discovered they had no utensils or napkins. Went looking for staff & was told there's only one person working breakfast room, clearly not enough for the crowd. Front desk clerk eventually came to help. Took 7-8 minutes to get those items. Threw our now cold food away but two of four hot items (really 3 because 4th was tortillas that I never saw anyone take in 3 days) were empty (bacon had been empty first time we got food). Waited 20 minutes to get hot food restocked. Cold and bakery items were virtually empty for entire time, but we did manage to get yogurt later. Bacon was very good when it finally came out. Chorizo next day wasn't good. Sausage third day was OK, but not hot. Scrambled eggs every day were terrible. Tater tots were mush one day but very good the next. And no place to put used trays so it appeared some people were putting dirty trays back on the stack where they came from. 2nd & 3rd days were better but still not kept stocked, and bakery cases were mostly empty each day (and we were in there about 1-1.5 hours before end of breakfast), but when I did manage to get two cinnamon rolls one day they were a bit stale, and when I got the last one the third day it was very stale. We'd probably stay here again, but expect some problems.
I've been going here for 17 years – Martin, the father, and now the son, Travis on this beautiful Best Western – – What I like best about this motel is the people who work here- And the incredible beauty as you eat breakfast—
The staff at this hotel are friendly and are helpful. Our room was comfortable and clean. Parking is assigned and parking is close to the room which made it nice for unloading our luggage. The breakfast area was nice sized with many options to choose from. The food items were well stocked and staff kept the area clean. The main issue that I had was that our room had a lot of road noise and on the last night of our stay the wind blew and we got some small leaves in our room. Found out that the weather stripping on our door needed the be replaced. Will stay here again if we are in the area despite this issue.
Long time Death Valley visitors who normally stay inside the park but opted to try this Best Western in Lone Pine for a change. We were very pleased and will return here in the future. Our room was a king with plenty of pillows on the bed, nice fluffy towels, small fridge, microwave, coffee maker and ice available for registered guests. It was clean and tidy. Although we did not need housekeeping, they were readily available if you needed anything. Our room was away from Hwy 395 so we did not hear any road noise. Breakfast was very good for hotel continental, well staffed with hot food coming out continually, with plenty of seating. Front desk staff are great!!!!! Dining is nearby, and walkable if desired. The views of the mountains and Mount Whitney covered in snow, is breathtaking. Our drive in and out of Death Valley was beautiful, with the many of the mountains and desert floors covered in yellow flowers. Depending on traffic, it is an hour to Stovepipe Wells and another half an hour to Furnace Creek. The Frontier is now our go-to accommodations for Death Valley and the surrounding areas.
The people at the front desk were super, super helpful. Mainly the young man with long hair (he was very neat and well kept).The room was very clean and comfortable. This is also a great motel to bring along your dog. I stay at that BW everytime I'm in the Lone Pine area.
The desk clerk was very courteous and provided suggestions for dining. Room was nicely redecorated, with large bathroom. Bed comfortable. Great views of the mountains from breakfast room. Breakfast had many options , with great coffee and hot entrées.
Roomy, clean room. Bathroom was large, clean, lots of towels. Hot breakfast consistently monitored an replenished, very clean. Front desk always staffed and very pleasant and helpful. The best hotel we've stayed in throughout tour of the national parks in this area. Only recommendation would be to heat the pool.
The staff was great, room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was wonderful! The views of Mt. Whitney and the Alabama Hills was priceless! Pool was under renovation but we wouldn't have used it in March.
This hotel was perfect for our stop on the way to Death Valley. The rooms are large and clean with 2 sinks and a couch. Breakfast had lots of good options. A great value! Be sure to check out the Western Movie Museum and the Merry Go Round restaurant- best Chinese Food!
We always enjoy our stay here while visiting Lone Pine. They have a fantastic breakfast, and everyone is very helpful and friendly. We like the fact that we can bring our dog! Great views from our room (southern part of hotel, room 176) Highly recommend.
I frequently stay here for trips from, Nevada to California. Always clean, the staff is very nice and full breakfast. Also “pet” friendly. Although, there are no suitable dog poop areas. They even give you dog treats and poop bags.Ask for a room away from the highway.
The staff at this motel is great. Front desk, housekeepers and breakfast staff are very welcoming. The free breakfast is good. The rooms are very clean. But the King rooms are smaller than I expected after seeing the options on the motel website. And the bathroom door needs a hook on it to keep it closed. (they are sliding barn-style doors.) While the motel set up makes it very easy to unload the car, I realized I like more privacy than a motel allows. (That's a personal preference and no criticism of the motel.)
Excellent night sleep! Great bed, clean room. We were greeted with a big smile, extra bottled water; so nice after a long day of driving. The pool was being fixed so no dip. It was kinda chilly for that anyway. This motel is run by the original family since the 40s and the pride of ownership shows!
We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were very spacious. We were traveling with a dog and our room backed up to the dog area with a back door and patio that opened up to the dog area. If you are traveling with a dog I recommend that you request one of the rooms that opens to the dog area.
The room and property was very clean. We had a problem woth our tub draining but it was fixed right away. Our room was not cleaned and bed was not made during our stay unfortunately. Hot breakfasr in the morning. Close to everything. The view was amazing and staff were lovely.
Staff are friendly. I slept well. Usually I toss and turn more at other hotels. Connection to internet was good but would like a secure connection. Cleanliness is good. Quality and pricing is unique for a good experience.
Although this is an older facility it was in good condition and the rooms were clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful in finding local restaurants and activities. We would definitely stay here again when traveling in Lone Pine.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay. We waited in line a short time at check in. Vance checked us in. He was alone at the desk but he was amazingly nice and patient to every single person he spoke with. The location is on the outskirts which suited us fine. The property is quiet and well maintained. The pillows are way too small for a king size bed.
We decided to make our drive in two days and stopped in Lone Pine. Stayed at Best Western. Friendly staff, clean rooms, easy parking, hot breakfast. We will stay again. We also ate at The Grill close to hotel - delicious food and desserts We made a return visit in way home.
Clean comfortable rooms with quality bedding, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. Nice to see options for vegetarians like almond milk and hot cereal. Love the view of the Sierra and Mt Whitney. We enjoyed our stay
I have stayed here often and in other hotels in the Lone Pine area, and Best Western is the best. The rooms are fine, the breakfast good and the location is perfect for my visits to the Alabama Hills and Whitney Portal.
Great hotel on the 395! The rooms are immaculately clean and smell great as you walk through the door. Comfortable beds, and they have a separate air conditioner/heater in the bathroom which my kids really appreciated after taking a shower. Our room had a sink in the bathroom and vanity which really helped us get out the door faster. Nice hot breakfast with other options like pastries, yogurt, cereal etc, the whole family was pleased. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back here on our travels down the 395!
We love the Best Western in Lone Pine and always make it a pit stop when traveling through. The rooms are always super clean!!! and comfortable (and the heat is always on before we arrive in the winter) thank you! Arrive at night and walk out your room in the morning… and take in the amazing Easter Sierras in all their glory. Lone Pine is a special place and the Best Western is the perfect base camp. See you again on our next trip along the 395 ❤️
Motorhome broke down and we had to find a pet friendly hotel on our way home. Our experience was so good that we ended up staying another night. Every single staff member from Leigh & Miley at the front desk to the housekeeping & breakfast restaurant staff were very friendly, helpful & did an excellent job. Leigh was so accommodating finding us a room for the additional night as well. Rooms were nice, clean & with a clear view of gorgeous Mt Whitney! Complimentary full breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend for your Lone Pine stop on the 395.
Check in was fast, room was clean and everyone was nice. My kids enjoyed the breakfast especially the automatic pancake maker. They thought that was amazing! The two women running the buffet were both very friendly and professional. Would probably stay there again if we return in the summer to do some hiking.
Bed was comfy and room smelled so clean. Front desk employee was very helpful and friendly. She had a great attitude. Breakfast included was hot and delicious with lots of choices. Thank you for a great stay
the hotel offers a very large room good for a family with kids. just ask for the upgraded room. The breakfast was hot with eggs and cereal. my climbing group stayed their after a few days in the mountains.
Staff was super friendly. The room was much nicer than I expected. The hot breakfast was more than worth the price of what we paid. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
Super impressed how awesome my stay was. It was a super clean room. Updated. Very comfortable beds. Solid breakfast. I will always stay here if there is availability. Staff was very friendly. Very quiet.
The room was amazingly clean. The cleaning at this hotel does the best job I've seen in quite some time at a hotel. Check in was easy and counter staff was helpful. I really liked the noise canceling feature in the room. I can't imagine there is a better place to stay in Lone Pine.
Our favorite place to stay when traveling between Nevada and Arizona. Nice friendly staff. Clean comfortable rooms and beds. Very nice breakfast amenities. And you can't beat looking at the mountains in the morning or in the early evening.
Hotel is nice and clean at a good price. Breakfast is served at 6am. A good start for my Whitney day. Nice bed helps my journey of lifetime. The view of Sierra Nevada in the morning is awesome. I stayed here for a few time now. Very pleasant.
The worst experience my wife and I have ever had staying at a motel. (Best? Western) at Lone Pine, California). We were lied to and hung up on several times by the evening manager. Then the manager would not answer the phone to discuss his behavior. The manager blamed his behavior on the guests next to us. Unbelievable!!! So, he felt justified in treating us very poorly. We will never stay at this motel ever again, out of principle. Dr. Ray
What a little gem! We booked this as a stopover point on the way from Las Vegas to Yosemite and never thought it would be one of the best (of 8) places we stayed in. It was a novelty for us to drive in and park outside the room, the motel has so much character, the check in staff were very efficient, views from the front of the motel just breath-taking, breakfast really welcomed and onsite washer dryer was great for us. There was also a small pool but we didn't make use of that as we were only staying 1nt. We went down to the village for a lovely meal that evening and visited the Movie Museum on our way out the next day, highly recommend going there, some great movie props.
No complaints about the facility or employees. LADWP trucks and their back up beepers at 4:30am right outside my window I feel might be a common occurrence. They should require any service trucks to park on the street.
Clean and comfortable as always when we've stopped at this Lone Pine motel. Since we never know how long it will take us to get to our stop for the night, I brought a Jersey Mike's sub in the cooler for dinner. I didn't know that a Jersey Mike's has opened almost right across the road from the motel! The outdoor tables among their rose bushes are so fun to sit at nearing dusk and have a good supper. The front desk was efficient, and breakfast was very good with a hot meal to start the day.
This hotel is by far the best hotel I've stayed at ever, from check in to check out. My experience was awesome. The rooms were Immaculate and the staff was very knowledgeable of the local area as well as taking care of all needs. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and the bathroom was by far the best! I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Lone Pine area, the general manager Alicia made sure everything was taken care of, she goes alive and beyond to ensure the hotel runs smoothly and all of her visitors have the best experience possible. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Lone Pine area.
This is a great stopover - we were on our way from Death Valley to Yosemite. The room was dated and not as clean as it could be (I had a shower and my feet were filthy by the time I walked back to the bed). The breakfast was odd - we definitely don't have chilli, tortillla, tater tots and cheese for breakfast in the UK. No fresh fruit to make yoghurt/granola so I had two small muffins. Vance on the front desk was really friendly on check in. Overall it's not the worst motel but the breakfast and cleanliness let it down.
Everything was great, the AC was a little noisy, but I'll take that over hundred degree weather any day. Breakfast was good, bed was comfortable and pillows were soft. The western museum is down the street couple minutes away and is well worth the time to visit.
This hotel was clean and fresh. The bed was so comfortable and cozy. Internet was great. Location is convenient to walking downtown restaurants. Best of all staff was friendly and breakfast was fresh with great selections for all diets! We will return!!
Best Western Lone Pine has a superb breakfast. Unlike some motels, the breakfast area was fully stocked and well organized. The rooms were quiet and each room had an assigned parking place, so you didn't have to look all over to unload your car. The air conditioner worked well, and the bed was comfortable.
Solo traveler, room size good for me. Bed and linens very comfortable. Large clean bathroom with shower supplies. Cool AC. Pool clean. Outdoor grassy seating area. Dogs allowed for minimal fee. Breakfast variety good but some things dried out. Old drive up style motel with marked parking near room! Room clean. Good sound proofing, never heard next room guests. Would definitely stay here again.
Staff was very friendly; large, quiet two bedroom with very comfy beds; smelled clean, lots of pillows; close to hiway; good hot breakfast; Older single story building but kept nice. Has an outdoor pool.
The views are spectacular! Great hotel! The hotel is very clean, and has a friendly and helpful staff. Great location near the Western museum and Seasons restaurant. The staff is helpful in every way. Enjoy!
My daughter and I stayed 2 nights in a large, 2 queen bed room. Everything was excellent from the clean rooms, comfortable beds, free breakfast, and super friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is a perfect location to explore not only the Lone Pine area but up to Mammoth Lakes and Mountain as well, only 1.5 hrs away. Will definitely return.
We stayed for two nights, had a very comfortable stay. Location is good, very easy to get to Whitney portal and Alabama Hills and close enough to eating places. The room was very clean so was the bathroom. The airconditioning worked great which was very important since it was particularly hot. The staff at the reception were very friendly and always greeted us if we passed by. Check in was smooth and efficient. And most importantly they provide daily room cleaning service like the pre-covid days.
This was a very nice and small hotel, all on 1 floor with parking in front of your room. Hotel staff were freindly and helpfull while checking in. Was just a stop over on our way back to home, but wished we more time to stay longer.
This stay was great, it's good to go back to your home town and see familiar faces. Margarita was amazing as always and got to meet the new owner. Glad to see the property is doing great and it has definitely got some really nice new upgrades.
One of the best BW's I've stayed in. The staff is efficient, very caring and attentive. Great breakfast. Very clean. Rooms good sized, fairly modern (USB-C plug!). Internet is fast for the area. Highly recommend.
Tried to check in an hour early. Was told the room was clean and ready. Then told there was a $25 early check in fee. I understand if I'm asking you to get it ready hours early but to be told I'd have to pay extra to check into a room that's already clean and ready is ridiculous.
Clean and spacious room with comfortable beds; staff at front desk and at breakfast were all really friendly and helpful; tasty full breakfast of pancakes, oatmeal, ingredients for breakfast tacos, tater tots, juice and coffee
Leigh, Alicia and everyone at Best Western Frontier Motel were amazing and so accommodating for our production. Making our shoot and experience less stressful. Thanks for the hospitality and charm! Definitely look to these guys if you're planning on visiting the Lone Pine area. Great place and great stay! Thanks again! Anthony
I was wonderfully surprised at the quality of my stay. The room was spacious, very clean and quiet. The assigned parking was located directly across from my room. The pet policy is easy to understand and more than accommodating. And the team members I spoke with were friendly and helpful. Additionally, as a single woman traveling alone, I felt very safe. I will definitely be staying here again.
Perfect location if you are going to the national parks nearby. It has nice view of Mt. Whitney and a 10 drive to explore the mountains yet close enough to dinning in town. Will stay again when going to the area.
For the price, where else do you get the view of the beautiful sierras, a nice warm, comfy, clean bed, in a quiet room. Strongly recommend staying. Breakfast is not for me but kids and not picky eaters will enjoy.
Rooms were large, breakfast was great and very friendly staff. Just off highway 395. It is a bit outside of lone pine so keep that in mind. I would reccomend this hotel to anyone who is in the lone pine area.
was dispatched for work at a very late hour with a need to stay in the area overnight. hotel staff was freendly and helpful room was clean water was hot. The morning breafest was hot but not to hot to eat. the cold food was cold but not frozen. area was clean food items were easy to get. area is smaller town so rooms were quite. Most people i hotel were contractors for the construction in the area.
Best Western is making an effort to provide a better experience and it shows. The free breakfast is good and well serviced by their friendly staff. The room is well appointed, clean and very comfortable.
Great scenic location on the south end of Lone Pine, CA. Front desk clerks Vance and Deborah are friendly, helpful and professional. This family owned motel is clean as whistle and very well appointed. Room amenities include mini fridge, microwave, 32 inch TV with DIRECT TV Network, direct USB plugins, comfortable bed and a spectacular bathroom with built in bodywash, shampoo and conditioner pumps (very pleasant coconut fragrance). They also use short "do not disturb" tags that don't blow or fall of the door handles! Motel has a very nice heated outdoor pool, individual assigned parking spots by your room and an INCREDIBLE include daily buffet breakfast. The breakfast room is loaded with Western Movie memorabilia too! I couldn't ask for a nicer place to stay. Very Reasonably priced too. As close to perfection as I've ever seen in a budget friendly accommodation. I highly recommend staying here when in the Lone Pine area. I definitely would stay here again. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!
I visit regularly. Am always so pleased with the warm welcome of the front desk staff. I feel right at home and appreciate the stress free check in process. Margarita, Leigh, and a newer staff member, male, regret I don't recall his name. Great job .
We stay at this hotel every year over Thanksgiving and have never been disappointed in any way. The rooms are clean, breakfast is good and the staff is very caring. We can't say enough good about this hotel, that's how much we like it.
Great location at the foot of Mt. Whitney. Hotel is well kept, but somewhat dated. Since our stay was late season, the swimming was already closed, so the kids were bummed. Nice breakfast, great variety and the two ladies in the breakfast room were really nice and helpful. Pet friendly.
I stayed here a number of times at the Best Western Olympia. The beds are super comfortable and very nice. My only issue this time was the drain in the bathtub was slow, and the heater made some noise until like banged around on it and not at the stop. Other than that to stay was great The free breakfast is great The people were great.
Quiet and restful, Great place to stay if working in the area! Breakfast was plentiful and very good for my entire 4 day stay! Absolutely gorgeous view of the Eastern Sierras, especially at sunrise. If you are an early riser, this is the place to stay.
The hotel is located just south of the town of Lone Pine along the highway. However the room was VERY quiet and we did not hear any traffic noise. The room was very nicely decorated and clean. The staff at the hotel was very friendly and courteous. The breakfast area was well stocked and the counters and tables were kept clean. There is a pool and lawn area but it was too chilly outside for us to take advantage of them. There is a spectacular view of Mt. Whitney from the hotel! We will definitely stay here when we are in the area again.
Very nice place in an area of few choices. Older but very well kept up. What sets it appart is the breakfast they serve. Better than anywhere we stayed on our three week triip. Parking is assigned so you park in front of your room. There is parking in the back for larger vehicles and trailers.
Conveniently located on the main street of Lone Pine close to Big Pine lakes trails, Whitney Portal and fishing, this hotel exceeded expectations. The room was spacious, clean and had nice shower soap and shampoos. The breakfast buffet was delicious and very filling to fuel us up for a long hike. There is also coffee in the room if you can't wait for breakfast.
A spacious and comfortable room (huge bathtub!) and very pleasant staff. Will stay here again if we come back! Breakfast is handy but the quality is wanting--not enough to keep us away though. 4.5 stars! Just filling space to reach 200 characters now. :)
Nice breakfast bar and clean rooms. Will visit again in another week or so. Will stay here next year as well. Always a favorite place of ours. Wake up to a great view of the mountains. Easy in and out
This was the cutest and nicest Best Western my whole trip. It looks like a retro motor inn with pool, nice landscaping with flowers, clean room, comfy bed , and pet friendly. I loved the designated parking with room number so I always had my same spot. Hotel employees were friendly and checkin easy. Breakfast was the best featuring pancakes, meat protein, eggs, and tator tots. Of course fruit, cereals etc. for lighter fare. There was a notice that they would pack you a quick to- go breakfast if needed.
Small Classic Car Group travel every spring and fall. This was one of our best hotels. So clean and we had every thing we needed. Pool area was very nice and cleaned every morning. Plenty of ice. View from hotel grounds also quite nice. (Except I did miss the Bible not being in the room. )
The first of three Best Western Motels we used throughout our 3 week road trip around California. Does all the basics well and you can easily make your nightly rate work for you by going big on the buffet breakfast and skipping lunch. Room has everything you need, beds are comfortable and the gigantic bath is welcomed after a day of hiking. We were using this area as a base for Death Valley exploring but as 190 was washed out due to the floods, we asked the hotel team for recommendations on other things to do. They knew their area. Manzanar is fascinating, the Alabama hills are reminiscent of Utah NP's (a good thing) and the views on the road to Mount Whitney are worth the short drive. A nice touch is that the rooms are named after the Wild Western movie stars.
Booked a 2 Queens room, nice and roomy, very comfortable beds. Hotel staff were outstanding - very attentive. Love the available texting before/during/after our hotel stay to assist with any/all needs or questions. Hot breakfast varied daily - large selection of options including the cute pancake maker that made yummy pancakes with sugar free syrup available - just need some pancake toppings like chocolate chips, bananas, etc. Location past the small downtown strip area, extremely convenient. Small fridge, small microwave in toom. TV with tons of free channel options. Loved the bottle opener next to the ice bucket ☺️. Loved the restaurant suggestions - The Grill was out favorite. Available washer/dryer with soap and dryer sheets -all available at decent price. Safe, quiet, comfortable with good rates. Would definitely stay here again!
This hotel has many rooms, all on the ground floor, with a wonderful view of the Sierra Nevadas. Very quiet, since it is at the edge of town. The AC worked well, and we really loved the shampoo, conditioner and soap dispensers in the shower - I'm sure that saves so much extra plastic from going to the landfill...that is a great idea!
Not a fancy hotel but clean and comfortable. It is well maintained. Staff is always very helpful. Breakfast is included and it has a nice selection. It is also pet friendly! Good view of Mt. Whitney and nice sunsets. Not too far from the main st. of town where restaurants are located.
On the first night of my stay, Sunday, September 11, I was woken up at midnight by the front desk associate pounding on my door, yelling at me to open it. She claimed I was in the wrong room and had no right to be there, demanding to know how I had gotten in. I had been checked in earlier that day with no issue, and had the keys to show for it. She left, and I called the front desk minutes later, once I had gotten myself together, and she explained that the front desk person at check-in had marked me in 112 but put me in 117. She did not apologize or express remorse in any way, despite waking me, yelling at me, and blaming me for a mistake that the hotel had (innocently) made. She should not be working in hospitality or representing Best Western, which I have always had great experiences with. The rest of the staff was lovely and helpful and the rest of my stay was fine.
I was expecting a very basic, old fashioned motel. The Lone Pine Best Western was so much better than I had hoped. At first impression, the building and grounds were clean and well maintained. The staff was warm and friendly. Our room had all the little details that made our stay comfortable and convenient. The bathroom was huge. The bed was comfortable and the bedside light had plugs where I could charge my devices. Finally, the breakfast was one I would have been happy with in a hotel that cost twice as much. They had fresh mango and pancakes you could easily make from scratch.
Stayed again at the Frontier Motel last night.....wonderful! Caught some trout in June Lake and Twin Lakes and needed to keep them frozen for the drive home....no problems. Deborah and Margarita had them in the freezer quicker than quick and the trout remained frozen this morning when we went to get them from the freezer. The most amazing beds (not exaggerating), best air conditioning, large screen tv's in the large, clean rooms, satisfying breakfasts, and helpful staff like Deborah and Margarita plus amazing views of the Eastern Sierra and Mt Whitney....this motel has it all. See you next time!
This Best Western is definitely a cut above the average motel. Spacious rooms, helpful staff, and comfortable beds. This was our before after Mt Whitney climb place to relax and recharge. It was perfect.
Great motel in Lone Pine. Beds were comfortable and complimentary breakfast was excellent. Staff was helpful, we enjoy staying here when passing through to Mammoth. Great location when coming into town.
Full breakfast is served at 6am which was what we needed before we started our hike up Mt. Whitney. slept well, good sized room. It was a hot weekend and the AC worked well. friendly and helpful staff.
This is my first trip to Lone Pine to hike Mt. Whitney. I know that I wanted to sleep well before and after my hike. The BW perfectly meets my needs. They offer a wonderful breakfast each morning with real breakfast food like eggs and bacon. The staffs are super friendly and willing to help. The location is easy to find and assigned parking. Lastly, the rooms are super clean and functional (not fancy, but does its job)
On a hot day, went on a quick errand and my 10lbs dog was in the room. Called up the front desk and asked them to turn on the air conditioning and they did. Came back and the room was nice and comfortable. This place is wonderful.
Only stayed one night but the thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, spacious, and quiet, Staff was courteous and helpful with restaurant information during check-in. Each parking stall is assigned to a specific room so the car was adjacent to the room. Breakfast had a nice variety with real flatware - not the usual plastic. View of Lone Pine Peak and Mt. Whitney from the parking lot. Enjoyed coffee in the outdoor area adjacent to the pool.
We have stayed at this motel many times. It is in a great location, the rooms are very nice and the amenities are great. The breakfast has a great variety. We highly recommend this motel and will be staying here again.
We via tot this motel in de laat 25 years about 5 times. We expect the motel become older and older. But no. Good maintenance makes it look lijke 20 years ago. The pool is great. The service is top…..
Very nice and helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, nice fitness center and pool, pet friendly, great breakfast and reasonable prices, short walk to shops and restaurants, gorgeous mountain views. Highly recommend!
This motel had a superb breakfast. All food was well prepared and laid out, and the kitchen did not run out of certain things like orange juice, milk, eggs, sausage, etc. like other motels i have stayed at recently. This is one of the few motels still offering a deluxe breakfast. The room was spacious and immaculate, and the air conditioner worked well. Each room had an assigned parking place, which is rare among motels, but this enabled me to park right in front of my room. There was no noise from adjoining rooms, so I slept well.
Nicely kept motel. Easy parking, Large clean room, nice breakfast, nice pool, friendly staff. Beautiful view of Mt. Whitney. Lone Pine is a nice town. Cute restaurants, museum and beautiful location. Will be back!
When I arrived 20 minutes before the check-in time (at 3pm, if I remember well) they wanted to charge me $35 for early check-in. :-) I was wondering if it was a joke... but not. I got the last room near the street and I can tell you that the night was really not quite because of the trucks passing and the air conditioning that was really loud. This is the room they call "with the best view" on the alabama hills. Avoid this one! Breakfast is included but honestly really too basic, maybe because I am European and I expect to have more choice.
My cousin Tom and I stayed at the Best Western Frontier Motel in Lone Pine, California, July 22-29, 2022, and it was our third stay at the motel since 2017. We have traveled to Lone Pine each time to climb Mount Whitney and to visit Death Valley National Park, Mammoth Lakes and Yosemite National Park, which are located within driving distance of the motel. Since our last stay in September 2018, the guest rooms have been impressively renovated. It was like staying in a brand new motel. The front desk staff, Leigh, Debbie, Margarita, Maylee and Vance, provided us with excellent customer service and always made a point to say "good morning" while on our way to the breakfast room. The hotel offers excellent room rates and a delicious full breakfast each morning - a bargain worth considering. The housekeeping staff is very friendly and they did an excellent job of cleaning our room, changing the sheets and providing fresh smelling towels each day. The hotel also has a nice size pool and gym, an ice machine, drink machines, excellent washers and dryers, plenty of parking, and a breathtaking view of Mount Whitney and California's majestic Eastern Sierra directly across historic Rt. 395 in front of the motel (see pics.) If you are planning a visit to Lone Pine or a trek up Mount Whitney, I highly recommend that you stay at the Best Western Frontier Motel, which is no doubt the best motel in town! Safe Travels!

This is our favorite place to stay when we go hiking in sierras rooms are clean, breakfast is freshly made and tasty normally i never sleep well when traveling but this is not the case when staying at bw lone pine i will keep coming back
This is a pretty remote area, but this town, and motel, are an oasis in this dry and dusty land. The motel itself fits the town and landscape with its design. A clean, comfortable room awaited us after a hot evening in Death Valley. The motel is about an hour west of Death Valley, but it is the closest accommodations you will find on this side of the park. A hot breakfast buffet was the perfect start to another day of exploring the park. We didn't have time to enjoy the pool, but it looked like a great spot to cool off. I highly recommend this motel.
Perfect spot for Best Western Hotel on highway 395, conveniently located and easy to find while on a driving vacation. The rooms are clean and quiet. Breakfast was ok foe a 2 star hotel. Being a member helps receiving a better price.
The room exceeded my expectations. The check-in clerk was friendly and accommodating. The bed was very comfortable, as was the chair & ottoman. It had every amenity I could think of. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the room and the little touches, like the five pillows on the bed, plenty of towels, etc. The grounds were well kept, and the general appearance of the motel was very nice. The only complaint I have was that before I arrived, I received a text telling me that I could check in early for just $25. After I checked out, I got a text letting me know that I could delay check-out time for $25. These texts were annoying and frankly a little bush league. Other than that, the stay was excellent. I'd like to offer the Best Western company a positive review on Trip Advisor, for just $25.
Stayed here one night on the way to Reno. An excellent property - well managed. Well organized as they communicate with you before and after trip. Also enjoyed numbered parking spaces near your room for easy parking. It's an motel style design. Park near your room. Room door on the outside. My room was clean and well furnished. Good A/C, too which was helpful for the day I was there as it was windy and hot. Which leads to the pool - felt great taking a late afternoon dip! Will stay again.
Found this property by chance when driving back to Reno from Las Vegas on the hottest day of the year so far in the state! It was such a joy to stay there with beautiful mountain view, comfortable and convenient to the highway but not a lot of noise. Birds chirping, a nice pool area and good parking. Met international travelers from Italy and South Africa. My go to place I think for a weekend get away in relaxing surroundings.
This is a Motel 6 branded as a Best Western. For the price, I was expecting a normal Best Western, not a motel. It was a fine place to stay and I slept well. The breakfast was good and the staff was friendly. This is the type of motel you just use for sleeping. The room was tiny and there was no computer desk. I would stay here again, but it is expensive for a motel. I was just here to sleep after Death Valley. If you are into hiking, check out the Mt Whitney trail to Lone Pine lake nearby.
The hotel is clean and very nice. We enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was good. Only complaint the a/c unit jn room 129 is very noisy, but I can live with that for one night! The young lady that checked me in was very nice & helpful. All in all a very nice stay..we will be back.
Took a weekend fishing trip up to Aspendell with fiancé and our 2 year old. We're coming back home and wanted to stay in Lone Pine for at least one night and then make the 4 hour trip back home. Check in was smooth and simple, and our room wa solvated by the pool. It was clean, nice fresh linens, by the sink there was actually makeup remover wipes and a facial cleansing bar and that was a blessing ! Showers water pressure was great and got hot fast. Fridge in in the cabinets below the tv with a little microwave. In the bathroom there was the coffee maker that was actually CLEAN and WORKED. this is very rare in my opinion. I've been to many, many hotels or motels that the coffee make is broken or super dirty. All in all made for an easy night with us 3 , good little shops and food near by. Check out Rocks and gifts a couple lights up if your into gems and stones!
Tipical motel, which is an experience in itself. The staff was friendly and the room up to standards. A little far from the city center, you'll need to drive to Lone Pine. All in all a good experience.
I like to visit Lone Pine to do photography in the area. The Best Western in Lone Pine is conveniently located for this and is a clean, well-kept property. I have stayed there before and will in the future.
The facilities were extremely clean and neat. Staff was very helpful. The front desk person took people in the order they came in. if she got interrupted by a call it was placed on hold until she had helped everyone that was in line when the call came in. Best "breakfast included" I have had in a long time.
Great little Motel and Margarita on reception looked after us very well! The room was clean and each room has it's own individual parking space, so easy to lug our gear from the boot ( trunk). Also had a pool which we didn't have time to use but looked inviting.
The rooms are so much better and the breakfast is amazing there. The location is perfect with a view. The service is amazing and access to all activities nearby. Pool is nice ana clean with towels provided.
Although the outside looks a little dated the rooms were clean and comfortable with all amenities we needed. Parking outside room. Although on the highway we slept even with windows open as very quiet at night. Breakfast was basic but perfectly adequate. Staff friendly and helpful
Last year we camped at Portagee Joes to wake up and hike the Lone Pine Lake trail. The winds were so high and sustained for so long we packed up early and left without hiking. This year we stayed at the Beat Western Plus and LIVED it! Breakfast was included, showers with super hot water, and NO WIND!!!! We wound up doing the hike and had a great little weekend getaway because of Best Western. We will be coming back her guaranteed!
My 3rd time in a year staying here. The rooms are spacious, very clean, convenient access to the car right outside the room. Coffee and breakfast available early. All the staff is into great service. Love this place!
The Best Western is a quiet and well kept motel in Lone Pine. It was convenient to the Wild Wild West Race location and downtown LP. The breakfast was well stocked and it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the view of the mountains.
Stayed 2 nights in room 102. The room was plenty big with a nice closet, fridge, microwave and big bathroom. Breakfast was decent, about like any free hotel breakfast. It is very close to road so you will have noise. Bed could use replacing, huge dip in the middle. Friendly staff at check-in and check-out. Laundry room is not where it says on map, by the way. Not sure if staff have ever been to it but it's not on opposite side of complex as it says on map. It's down by vending machines on same side as front lobby. The signs aren't accurate for it either. We walked all the way around complex before realizing it was just down the walkway on same side as our room. Overall, a nice stay and would stay again.
Patricia and the Manager were very helpful on the phone when calls were placed about reservation concerns. The room was clean and quiet. The assigned parking spaces do make things a little easier. It was a hot Sunday when I checked in, it was disappointing to find out the pool was ice cold. The woman working at the desk said the pool was solar heated... The complete breakfast was appreciated.
I have stayed at this property multiple times. Always clean, updated room. Friendly service and convenient to the Mount Whitney Portal. Short distance to the portal road and favorite restaurant in town, Seasons (great choice for a stellar meal post summit).
Road trip 2022 started with two lovely nights in Lone Pine. The view of Mt Whitney and Eastern Sierra is breathtaking. Great area for a dog walk, though not enclosed, there is a dog walk by the neighborhood park that was great to let our gal out to run Breakfast was hot and very good. The front desk staff is very kind and friendly. We will be back!
We were part of a large group and really appreciated how friendly and accommodating the staff were. We were able to gather a couple of evenings in a room off the breakfast area, which really was nice of them as the weather was not suitable for gathering outside in the picnic area. Rooms were quiet and clean, plus free coffee was available in the main building 24/7. We would definitely stay here again.
Perfect location for a one night stay for a road trip. Staff were polite and plenty of parking provided. Room was dated and dark (due to brown carpets and upholstery) and sadly smelt a little musty. Room spacious and plenty of toiletries and fluffy towels given. Breakfast selection was limited but this may of been due to the previous days storm causing disruptions.
Great motel with good sized comfortable rooms. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Generous amount of soaps, shampoos, lotions are provided with lots of thick soft towels and nice bedding. The facility looks dated compared to many others; it is an older place. But there are wall chargers for your devices, and plenty of good lighting. Best part of all is the excellent hot breakfast with many choices and good coffee. We will definitely return here.
It can be challenging to find a decent hotel that allows dogs, well this hotel is one of them and the dog fee was only $25. I wish the dog area was a bit nicer, But it worked. The full breakfast was great, fresh pancakes, eggs, tater tots, and chorizo, along with cereal and oatmeal and quick things like that. The hotel room was basic, but spacious. The parking was close to the room which made it very convenient. Designated parking for each room so you never got your spot taken. All the staff were courteous and very helpful.
Due to build up of sewer odor in room (which staff concurred) we were moved to another room late in evening. Staff were accommodating through the process. Inconvenient to pack up at 10:00 pm to move, however they did give us a better room and much better bathroom arrangement.
Loved this hotel! Friendly staff, super clean rooms, and awesome breakfast. The scrambled eggs were fresh & hot, with salsa & tortillas, etc. - not the same old, same old. We were there in early April so didn't use the pool , but it's a lovely outside area with an incredible view or the eastern Sierra's including Mt. Whitney.
My husband, dog an I stayed at this property for 3 enjoyable nights. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, plenty of towels and in room coffee. Breakfast was plentiful. Short ride to the Alabama Hills. Will stay again and recommend to our friends. The photo is from our front door.
We arrived and were checked in by a courteous desk clerk. The assigned parking works well, we were just feet from our room. The room was very clean. Breakfast was great with several options on food choices. Wifi was fast. We have stayed here before and will return in the future.
The setting is spectacular & a great springboard to exploring Lone Pine & moving on to Death Valley. Classic motel style with everything you need. Parking spaces are tight & pool chilly but it's early in the season, otherwise all was wonderful.
Staying the night here was different and fun as they have themed rooms and we stayed in a John Wayne themed room but did notice that they had other themed rooms. Makes me want to come back to stay in the others.
We were pleasantly surprised with this motel. Check in was quick and efficient. The front desk clerks were all very friendly. Parking is right in front of the rooms which is a huge plus. The outside is modest and not very appealing. However, the rooms are updated and very clean and the beds are very comfortable. The rooms are well equipped and the bathroom was nice with many towels. Breakfast is free and overall ok. The selection was a little limited (only apple juice, no orange juice) and quality was average (sausage and bacon were very dry). Overall a very good experience and would recommend if you stay in Lone Pine.
Bed soft, room clean, easy to park outside hotel room, and breakfast had good choices. Plus was next to Alabama Hills and not far from Death Valley National Park. Great views of Mount Whitney right in-front of hotel!
Comfortable BW motel. Better than usual breakfast. First time I ever saw a pancake machine that could make 1 or more pancakes/order. Eggs and ground chorizo. Huge bathroom with immediate hot water. Comfortable bed. Quiet.
We visited this Best Western, not once, but twice in a week. Both experiences were awesome! Rooms were clean and the breakfast buffet was delicious. Kudos to the front desk and especially the housekeeping crew! Our family has been stopping there for years and we have never been disappointed.
Oh my gosh, this is my new favorite Best Western. Love the location on the edge of town. Rooms were large and you get great TV channels. The breakfast was a hot breakfast buffet which was nice. I travel with a dog and they gave me a room at the back of the property which is nice for getting the dog out. Front desk and housekeeping were very friendly and accommodating. I can't say enough nice things about this place. The price was amazing for weekend night. And you get a view of Mt. Whitney every time you walk out the door. I will definatley be telling everyone I know this is the place to stay in Lone Pine.
We loved our stay at the Lone Pine Best Western. The room was clean and getting to bring our pup with us was a huge plus! The breakfast was incredible and included eggs, potatoes, and some osrt of breakfast meat each day in addition to the standard continental breakfast fare. Perfect fuel for a day of hiking and exploring in the area. I highly recommend staying here!
We went to Lone Pine to stay one night for a hunting trip. It was the perfect place to stay. It was clean and quiet and very reasonably price. It is not a fancy place but perfect for what we needed. The bonus was the breakfast was pretty good .
We booked a room at this property on the return leg of our vacation. It was in a great location for our visit to the Manzanar National Historic Site, location of a WWII Japanese Internment camp. In addition to the historic site, this property, located in Lone Pine, CA, is a gateway to many other recreational opportunities.
Normal BW property - carpets need upgrading, but there was a sign saying that they are cleaned twice a week until new ones are installed. Auto pancake maker worked great! They have washer and dryer on premises.
For the price paid, this was a great value. We stayed one night in Lone Pine on our way to Mammoth and also explored the Alabama Hills. Room was comfortable. Breakfast was adequate and the coffee good.
My husband and I chose the Best Western at Lone Pine because of its easy access and ample parking. We arrived on two motorcycles and it was important to us to have a first-floor room with a parking spot in front of it so that we could keep an eye on the motorcycles. The receptionist, Patricia, was very kind honoring our request - we got a quiet room in a secluded part of the hotel grounds under a wide-view camera. The views are stunning, the room was clean and well appointed. At first we were surprised to find out that there was no shampoo in the dispenser in the bathroom, only a small bottle. Then we read the notice at the front desk apologizing for this and explaining that there is shortage of supplies. The hotel offers full hot breakfast buffet with options for everyone. Overall, great stay.
Nice older but well maintained motel at the base of Mount Whitney. Good beds, pillows and towels. Pleasant staff and good breakfast. My only complaint is the filthy carpeting in the room. Get a room towards the back so you don't hear the trucks rolling through town.
The hot breakfast is fantastic and the beds are very comfortable. The rooms are clean and the service is great! We make the Best Western in Lone Pine our Mid-way stop to June Lake almost every year and love coming back!
Been here every time I stop in Lone Pine. Rooms are clean and well kept. Staff accommodating and friendly I met the GM she's very professional and takes care that all guests needs are met. Exceeded my expectations.definitely best place to stay in Lone Pine.
Incredible staff, they went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay Very spacious and clean rooms, comfy beds Wide selection of continental breakfast Highly recommended Would easily stay here again
Hotel has a great location, easy in and out, parking close to rooms. The breakfast is a big draw…. Big variety and very good. However, the hotel is looking a little dated. The carpets and stained and in need of replacement with say hardwood vinyl. The sign in the lobby even says they know the carpet is stained and they have them cleaned regularly but…..
On my way to Mammoth Mountain and needed a place to pull in for the night. I saw this motel on my phone and thought I'd check it out. I'm so glad they have availability. The room was clean, and comfortable. They served a great breakfast which helped me get back on the road. I would stay here again in anytime. .
We stayed over one night while passing through Lone Pine. Check in was friendly and efficient. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The towels were soft, water pressure and temperature very good. Breakfast in the morning was good. Would definitely stay again!
Hotel was convenient for visiting the area although it's on a busy highway and you will hear it. We asked to be moved to a room further back from the road. They do offer wonderful white noise machines and blackout curtains. You will hear doors, parking lot noise and neighbors in the next room. They should NOT allow pets, as furniture and carpets are very stained. Bed was meh, mattress needs replacing. Breakfast was ok although a young woman stands and stares at everyone while they're eating which is extremely uncomfortable!!
We normally stay at Hilton affiliates and were very pleasantly surprised by the clean, comfortable, pet friendly room and delicious breakfast we had at this motel. The rates were amazing. We will definitely stay again.
Very thankful they were able to Accommodate our last minute booking. Our Airbnb canceled 5 hours before check-in and we were o Vacation from Florida Visiting Death Valley in California. I called and got a 2 queen bed room. Room was clean with a mini refrigerator and microwave. Shower had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers in shower. Breakfast provided. Nothing fancy but nice for being included with stay. Each morning was a little different but yogurts, cereals, breads/ muffins, make yourself pancake machine, eggs, potatoes, sausage, tortillas. They also discount for AAA and military.
The breakfast was great. They are dog friendly which made the stay even better. We also were offered late check out which was super helpful. Overall we enjoyed the stay and will be back in the future when traveling through the 395.
Lone pine does not have high profile hotels, This Best western is good one for stay. Property is well maintained, room is clean. Price is good for the quality I can find in surrounding area. Overall is great.
It's just outside of town so not walking distance to anything. We were at the back of the property at o it was quiet. Staff was friendly. Breakfast options were limited but well stocked and decent quality. The pancake machine is pretty neat and naked good pancakes. My only real complaint is that there was only one door hook to hang bath towels after use. Not having a place for a family to hang their towels after use is actually pretty inconvenient—especially for multi night stays.
The views of the high Sierras are marvelous. The rooms are warm and comfortable. The beds are a comfort after a long day's drive. On this stay the front help staff went beyond their responsibilities to help us resolve a problem. We always prefer to stay at this motel on our travel through Lone Pine.
Room was clea. We got room 159 which is our favorite room. Thanks to the staff for filling our request. Thank you for bringing back breakfast buffet, best bacon ever. From the front desk ladies to the breakfast staff and a special shout out to the hard working people that make the rooms up for guests. We look forward to our return In April.
Beautiful view of the mountains, comfortable, well-appointed rooms, great value, kind, helpful staff. Hot breakfast included and coffee available at all times. Pet-friendly with no fee at the time of our visit, though signs indicated that a pet fee would be added in the future. Note that the hotel is a short (2 min) drive from the town center.
We stay in Lone Pine every year over Thanksgiving and have never been disappointed in this Motel. The rooms have been clean, breakfast is good with a wide variety and the staff has always done their best to please you if the need arises. We always look forward to staying here.
It was a very comfortable stay. The breakfast lady found my credit cards/license/atm cards on the floor when they dropped out of my wallet. She took them to the front desk. I have a different last name than my husband so those ladies just waited until I asked. All sweet, honest ladies. The other guests were delightful as well. Thank you. We will come again.
This was a great comfortable place to stay. Easy check in, clean room and comfortable bed. The shower could use a little TLC but the water was hot and pressure was great. The breakfast in the lobby was simple but had plenty of options including great scrambled eggs and sausage and pancakes. Friendly staff as well. Huge bonus for us was that they are dog friendly. We'd definitely stay here again!
This has become one of my favorite places to stay. I love Lone Pine and this motel. It's easy access, rooms are clean, and staff is really friendly. Rooms on the south end of property are really big! And named after the movie stars who starred in films filmed in the area. I have had great experiences at this property! It's my go-to in Lone Pine.
The Hotel was very easy too find and get into the lobby & checked in. The Hotel has a very nice small quiet appeal and the views outside during morning and night are amazing. My girlfriend & her daughter thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and the room's beds are very comfortable.
Our go-to choice in the Eastern Sierra, the BW Frontier continues to maintain the quality and high standards we have enjoyed there for the last ten years. We travel to Lone Pine often, sometimes just to escape the LA area and enjoy the fresh air(and the steak at Seasons restaurant nearby). We always stay at the Frontier and are have yet to be disappointed. Clean, well-maintained rooms, HD tv, comfortable beds, cheerful, friendly service and a fantastic breakfast make this hotel a relative bargain.
One of the best hotel experiences we've ever had! My family and I spent 13 nights at this wonderful hotel, and our experience couldn't have been better! Rooms were spacious and well appointed, beds were very comfortable, and it was so nice having numbered parking spaces for each room right in front of the doors! Breakfast was such a treat every morning- scrambled eggs, tortillas, rotating potato and breakfast meat, cereal, muffins, English muffins, bread, yogurt, fruit, and the BEST pancakes I've ever had!! And the staff was amazing! They went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Some of the best hotel staff we've ever encountered, and we travel a lot! The town of Lone Pine is so picturesque and quaint, and the views from this hotel are stunning! Mt. Whitney makes a beautiful backdrop during breakfast. And the film history in the area is unmatched! Hundreds of films, TV series, and commercials have been filmed in the nearby Alabama Hills since 1919, and driving and hiking through them is such a pleasure for the sight soul! We loved our time in Lone Pine, and the Best Western Frontier motel was the perfect base camp in every way for all our adventures! Thanks for everything, and we'll definitely be back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Given high ratings and the Best Western PLUS name, perhaps our expectations were too high. While the checkin staff was pleasant and a breakfast is included, the room was just a standard motel room from decades ago. Anything unique? Two cowboy pictures on the wall. Anything substandard? A stained carpet. Perhaps the best in Lone Pine, but average most anywhere else.
We stayed for only 1 night but it was great. This is an older motel (built in the 1950s?) but everything was clean and in working condition. The room was a good size with plenty of room for 2 adults. The bathroom was huge (maybe ADA?); always a plus! The bed and linens were comfortable; we had no problems sleeping. Though the road was sort of nearby, we did not hear it with the A/C unit fan running constantly. They provided breakfast which included hot items like tater tots & eggs along with the usual cold items like cereal, yogurt, fruit (chopped mango!), bagels, toast, muffins. We were able to make a delicious filling breakfast. They also have an outdoor pool but we did not use it. At $141 for the night, including all taxes & fees, it's a super value and we highly recommend it!
Honestly in the small town we were in I was worried that the hotel would be super out dated and not as clean. I was proven wrong it was really nice and the breakfast was by far the best we had on a trip where were stayed in hotels 15 nights in a row. Great place to stop and rest even if just for the night.
Room was quiet, seems like it was a road side hotel rebranded by Best Western. Worked out well for a night while on a road trip. The hot breakfast was quite good. They are having issues with their carpets having stains, but they have a sign posted that the carpets are cleaned biweekly and wil be changed over winter. I would recommend this hotel while on a road trip
An exceptional roadside motel! When booking our night in Lone Pine I was surprised to see a bit of a jump in price for this Best Western compared to other motels in the area, but when we got here it was very easy to see why. It is a newly renovated and beautiful motel with exceptional upkeep of the grounds and service levels. It's also incredibly close to the road to Death Valley and has quite a few other Lone Pine restaurants and attractions within a 5 minute drive. This set a new standard for me for a “roadside motel” - I could easily see why the reviews were so good!
We routinely stay at this hotel on our biannual trip from Lake Tahoe to Southern California. Our mountain house in our Beachhouse. Lone Pine is a great little town in about midway for us in our travels. It also has a Tesla Supercharger, and a good restaurant. This hotel is clean staff is courteous, and typically ready to help. We have stayed at this location no less than a dozen times in the last few years. This last trip was the only time we had any problem, as when we arrived we were told our requested room was not available. The dogs were no longer allowed in that room. The next morning we found out that information was false, however the night staff is going to be reprimanded.
This place is a classic and I would highly recommend this BW motel. A bit dated perhaps, but the room was clean spacious and quiet. And the price was right. Close to the Death Valley visitor's center and all the downtown restaurants. We had been 17 days into a 44 day long road trip when we stayed at this motel. By far, the best breakfast we have had. Great job by the young lady taking care of the breakfast foods. Thanks to the entire staff
I stayed twice-on the way to San Diego from Reno and then the return. Initially when I went to check in Margarita, the receptionist, found that both reservations had been canceled. She rebooked my return and provided a better rate-$126 vs $146. She is terrific.
Newly decorated rooms are wonderful. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the assigned parking space near your room ensured easy loading and unloading of your car. Altogether, a great hotel with a great location.
Very nice place nice and clean good customer service I love it thank you Patricia very good breakfast hot se you soon nice Pool is nice hotel very good praise I think it's the best place for you next vacations
It was ok. Room was fairly clean. Beds not very comfortable but ok. Shower pretty horrible. Pool was cold and towels were rags essentially. What you would expect pretty much. Was very disappointed that the front desk person wore their mask under their nose *every time* I saw them in the lobby.
What a pleasant surprise! Spacious rooms comfortably furnished were exceptionally clean including the bathroom/shower. The staff at the front desk were attentive, knowledgeable and helpful at both check-in and check-out. Most of my hotel stays are in urban, upscale hotels, but Lone Pine is far from urban ... it is remote and not far from the Mt. Whitney Portal so I greatly appreciated the comfort and cleanliness of the room and the quality of the staff.
We stayed at Best Western after hiking Mt. Whitney. We were so happy to have a lovely room, hot shower and comfy bed to sleep in. We didn't get to take advantage of the pool or breakfast but I'll be happy to come back and give both those a go!
The entire facility was very clean and it was one of the few places that actually offered a hot breakfast and had it!! We totally enjoyed the deluxe room. Patricia, the woman at the front desk was professional, polite and pleasant. You are fortunate to have such a wonderful employee.
Nice size room. Good breakfast. Excellent mattress. Carpet needed cleaning and soap and shampoo dispensers needed checking.ridiculous that I I am required to write more characters for a simple overnight stay
Tv reception was spotty. The room was very Quiet. The room was very Comfortable. Laundry facilities and a pool were all pluses. Overall it was a good visit and we'd rebook again. Parking was a bit tight but the service at reception was another plus.
I have a new puppy and a 7 year old dog. Having the space outside attached by an additional patio door was very nice. It was really comforting knowing that they could go outside and get fresh air without bothering other guests. This location is a great stopping point for long drives. I will try to stay again
When you are about to summit the highest peak of Continental US - you really need a good night sleep. This Best Western has nice new comfortable beds, excellent AC, and is located in a quieter part of Lone Pine. It is a great place to stay after the hike because of pool and jacuzzi. Hot breakfast is served from 6am to 10 am, gran'n'go breakfast is available as well. Affordable price, I will be staying here again soon.
We stayed here 1 night while on a road trip . Best Western Plus hotels have always been good for us. This one was well kept. It also had a very nice large swimming pool that was very clean. The breakfast was hot and had great choices with a very helpful staff. Our room was clean, and comfortable in spite of needing a few small maintenance items taken care of. We will consider staying here again.
Very nice motel! Renovated, clean and comfortable. Check in was easy. The ladies who ran the breakfast buffet were excellent! Wonderful breakfast buffet. Room amenities were nice, and included a lap desk. Plugs and USB ports in lamps and clock. Very enjoyable stay.
This is a great hotel in Lone Pine with nice rooms, great staff and close to the Mt. Whitney Portal! Check in is simple, breakfast is offered hot or on the run. The rooms seemed recently updated. Great view of the Mt. Whitney summit.
This is our second time staying at this hotel. The location is great, with beautiful views of the Sierra range right outside your room. The rooms are spacious, clean and the WiFi is fast. The hotel staff are also friendly. The AC in the units works great. It was 100 deg when we were in Lone Pine and our room stayed cool. I look forward to returning here. It's nice that they offer a hot breakfast and I appreciate it, but don't have too high of an expectation of the breakfast. But it's something to eat before heading out.
I did a day hike with a group up Mt. Whitney on July 15. I was exhausted. This hotel is terrific and a great value. Besides a great location, the hotel staff were cheerful and accommodating. My room was spacious and clean. The air conditioner was powerful and much-needed, considering the outside temperature was just over 100 degrees. The shower was powerful, the bed was soft, and the TV worked great. The pool was just steps away from my room. The most impressive aspect was the breakfast included in the fee: eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, cereal, coffee... just terrific with a wonderful staff person helping the guests. What a great place with a nice and affordable rate. I'll be back, for sure!
This hotel is better than it may initially appear. The pool area is delightful (my kids loved it), the staff very helpful and accommodating, and the rooms lovely. Best hotel in Lone Pine, which offers some fine food options for a town as small as it is. The highway traffic is a bit noisy, but the hotel is far enough away so it's no issue.
Very comfortable home base for Eastern Sierra / Death Valley adventures! Spacious rooms, immaculate cleanliness, nice staff and amenities. Views of Mt. Whitney from the pool and outdoor tables. All around very pleased with this stay and would come back.
Our room was clean and comfortable and conveniently located for our pre and post hike stay. The modified hot breakfast was easy to order and was made to order quickly. The staff was friendly at all encounters. Our room was clean and comfortable.
I stayed here in the 90s and really liked it. So I made reservations for my trip at the end of June. The facilities are clean and well cared for. The staff is friendly. The breakfast is really good and they serve until 10. I will stay there on my return home.
When I walked into my king-bedded room, it was immediately obvious that the room had been recently remodeled. My perception was confirmed when I saw workers remodeling another unit not too far from me. Everything was sparking clean, well-appointed, and modern looking. The bed was very comfortable, room quiet, and curtains kept out the light. There was a small table and chairs in the room, which came in handy for eating the breakfast provided by the motel. There is ample storage space in an armoire and dresser. I was happy to have a refrigerator for keeping some water and juices chilled. I didn't use the pool, but I did enjoy the view of Mt. Whitney visible from the front of the motel. Although located on highway 395, the motel is set back far enough that I didn't notice traffic noise. The bathroom had plenty of space for toiletries. The shower was terrific. I suggest that the hotel add some hooks for towels, as there is plenty of space on the blank walls. Perhaps this is part of the remodeling effort? Each morning, guests phone the front desk to order breakfast items—eggs, muffins, and so on. When the order is ready, the office phones and then you can either take the food back to your room, eat indoors, or eat poolside. I imagine when COVID restrictions ease, that Best Western will resume buffet service. In the meantime, this is a good solution.
I love the Best Western Plus in Lone Pine, California. I go the the film festival there every year and have stayed here frequently. It is very clean and the rooms are frequently updated. There breakfast service is a very welcome amenity! They really take care of you.
I cannot say enough nice things about my stay at the Best Western plus. The staff are amazing! So friendly and helpful! My room was absolutely spotless. I've stayed in five-star hotels that were not as clean as my room at this Best Western. The bed was a dream, so comfortable! The bathroom lots immaculate, and really nicely upgraded. If you're reading this review trying to decide whether to stay here or elsewhere, just book it! You will not be sorry!
I recently stayed 4 nights in Lone Pine during a road trip along 395. I picked this particular motel based on viewing online reviews. I was not disappointed! The staff is professional and efficient. The breakfast was more than adequate and available by phoning the front desk to place the order. It was always ready (for pick-up) within 10 mins. The local views were exquisite of Mt. Whitney are neighboring hills and mountains. The Western Film Museum is right down the street, as well as the Whitney Portal Road (the closest you can drive up to Whitney). I ate at two restaurants in town and The Grill was my favorite... also located right down the street. I'd stay here again!
Well run and well managed motel in lone pine. Hope to stay again in the future. Very save place. Reserved parking slot is a nice touch. Close to door. Sanitized room in Covid times. Convenient location
Hotel a little old, but comfortable rooms and quiet. Outer door of our room needed to be replaced because there was a gap in the bottom. Breakfast system was good and fairly decent..you call in the order and they have it ready for you to pickup and eat there or outside tables provided. EXCELLENT view if Sierra Nevada range!
Room very clean, well located in town and good location for traveling through town! Great for dogs. We had two doors, one opened to a dog relief area! Yeah. COVID breakfast was cooked for you. Or an early grab n go snack.
The hotel is clean, quiet and has a nice outdoor patio to enjoy breakfast. It's not in the center of Lone Pine, so unfortunately you can't walk to any of the local stores, but the scenery is very pretty and quiet. The free breakfast was tasty, and above average for a small hotel like this. All the employees were really friendly and helpful too. The drive to Mt Whitney was about 20 minutes away, which helped when we left to climb it at 2am. Stayed here for 2 nights.
Convenient location in Lone Pine to explore the area. Modern & pleasant room decor, very clean. The room has everything you need. Easy access with your own designated parking spot right outside your room.
Quiet, comfortable, and roomy place to stay! Bed was very comfortable and the room amenities were perfect for us. The pool is unheated but crystal clear and refreshing. Breakfast was offered but we left early. It sounded good though, made to order!
Good breakfast. Call in your order and they make it for you during pandemic. Close to Alabama Hills. We enjoyed also going up the Onion Valley road, quite scenic in late April. Lots of places to shoot photos.
Very friendly all around. Great breakfast considering Covid restrictions. Order fresh plate and take to room or outside to enjoy with friends. Needed a jump on car and staff helped with cables. Great place to explore the area from.
We spent two nights at this Best Western. The staff was friendly, however the room was small. The bathroom was also very small. They have dedicated parking stalls for the room which enabled guests to park close to their room. This was the best breakfast at a Best Western since the start of the Covid-19 safety precautions. What happens is you call the front desk with your order from the menu, and it will be prepared for you by hotel staff. The portions were on the small side, but it did have hot protein, scrambled eggs, toast, juice, coffee...
It was nice place to stay you got everything covered, but our room was left as is other than replacing few towels one day. Room maintenance was a let Nice place to stay if you are visiting death valley national park.
Our stay was only for one night but we would have enjoyed to be there more nights. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The location has a gorgeous view of Mt. Whitney. It is a short 3 min drive to town.
We were very impressed with the Frontier. Great location on edge of town. Super clean and well decorated and maintained. Very friendly and accommodating staff. We had been on the road for a few days and stayed in some sub-par places before this one, so it was great to stay somewhere we felt really comfortable and could get a good rest. Traveling with our dog, who was also very happy to stay here. Would absolutely return.
This is our second time to this hotel. True to its word all COVID safety were kept. everything was clean, each issue was resolved less than 12 hours. Great prices. Thank you, we will be back in the summer.
Better than expected. Rooms are huge and clean. Breakfast is made to order and the best bacon ever! great location is looking to go to alabama hills or manzanar. i would stay here a million times over and you should too
Wow what a nice motel! Very clean, comfortable beds and super friendly staff. The building is old but very well maintained. They are somehow able to still offer a free hot breakfast while other hotels have just stopped. Super impressed!!
This hotel is FANTASTIC! It's clean, comfortable and safe. The front staff is very nice and informative. They even serve a limited continental breakfast (you order it and then pick it up and take it back to your room) which includes some warm items (eggs, meat, toast), muffins, various fruits and cereals. The rooms have a mini fridge and mic, great selection of TV channels, hair dryer, heater/ac. I'd definitely stay here again. It's a total hidden gem.
Great room, all around great experience, high quality clean rooms and friendly efficient service. The only downside was that our breakfast (which is ordered over the phone from the front desk during covid) was cold when we picked it up including the coffee. It should be possible to simply allow folks to pick up their breakfast without ordering first given the relatively low number of rooms.
Great experience. Friendly staff, great text communication, great location, decent (free) breakfast. My girlfriend my dog and I came up to take photos in Alabama Hills and Death Valley and the BWP is easily located between the two
We have stayed here more than once and we love it. Our dog really loves it! Our room is always clean and comfy, with a back door that goes to a yard that my dog thinks is there just for him. The staff is friendly and even check on our needs before we got there. On our next trip to Lone Pine we will be staying there again!
We got here after a long day of driving, the woman at the front desk was friendly and efficient with getting us our room. We had three adults and two dogs staying in one double queen room, so we figured it'd be a tight squeeze for the night. The door to our room was sealed with a “clean” sticker, and the room smelled like a hospital, it was so clean! It was also way more spacious for all of us than I had imagined, and we were told that our pet friendly room had a back door that led to the “pet area.” It was a nice little private dirt lot, with a poop bag station, just beware of some debris around the edge that looked dangerous to doggy paws. Beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada range were right outside the door! Definitely recommend this place for anyone stopping in Lone Pine!
As a solo traveler, I felt very safe. The room was very clean, the front desk was incredibly helpful, and someone even checked in with me via text during my stay to make sure I got everything I could need. There was even a pretty good breakfast (during COVID that has not been the norm for many hotels) and everyone followed the safety guidelines in place to protect against covid! Exceptional stay for the price!
Clean, quiet, and competitive price. Managers run a good hotel. Staff was very friendly, helpful, and breakfast was good, even during covid. Modernized rooms, very sanitary. The hotel is half a mile south of the edge of town, so it's quiet.
Quick and very informational checkin. Most places are painfully slow and lack communication across their booking platforms - not this hotel! Keys were in my hand within 45 seconds of walking into check-in lobby. ^In my opinion, the above is what makes a hotel great. What makes a hotel exceptional, is how effectively that check-in time is used. I always ask myself as a guest “Do I feel self-sufficient, confident, and a little bit more in control of my life?” after I have been given the keys to my room. 99% of the time, I feel less than neutral about my knowledge. Kim, the welcoming and warm face that greeted us on arrival, left us with no questions to ask. She walked through the information packets with us and ensured there was nothing outstanding between us and a truly comfortable stay on the road. To Kim and all the team at Best Western Plus Frontier - Thank You for your incredible service and dedication to your craft! - Clark Cunningham IG: @clarkcfc
This hotel is nothing fancy but it has great beds and the room is nice looking. The location is a great stopping place on the way from San Diego to Tahoe and view across the street is beautiful. Manzanar is a close must see.
I stay at the Frontier Motel. The rooms very comfortable, clean, nicely appointed and, in my opinion, very reasonably priced. As usual, the staff was very friendly during check-in and check-out. We've stayed at several other hotels/motels during this COVID thing and the Frontier Motel is handling the complimentary breakfast in a unique (at least to us) manner: you call the front desk to place your order your HOT meal (meat, eggs, etc.) and then go pick it up in 10-15 minutes. Well done! We spend 10 - 15 room nights per year in hotels/motels, and this place is one of our all time favorites.
We came up to see the stars, checked it, went to bed, woke up at 1am and drove out and looked at the stars for an hour and came back and went to bed. The kids did school work until 11am and then we took off for home. We really enjoyed ourselves.
This Best Western Plus was quiet, clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were not comfortable. I could control the temperature of the room for coolness at night and a bit warmer in the morning. The mini fridge was plugged in and already cold for our sodas. Breakfast was prepared to go, and was good except it would have been nice to have had salt and pepper for the eggs and the butter was too hard to spread on the toast. The bagel was nice and fresh. I asked for milk and coffee but only got coffee which, however, was good. // Shari
It was our first time into a hotel since the COVID spread. We picked up BW after we read the COVID safety restrictions. we thought to give them a try. It was beyond our expectation - every safety restriction was implemented to the letter. Both rooms were sparkly clean and disinfected. each day a staff would come by to ask if anything is needed. High speed WIFI allowed for movie download, breakfast was served individually according to the guest preference. All the appliance worked great. We had the best time! looking forward to be back and highly recommend.
We stay here every year over Thanksgiving (unable last year due to a new puppy ) and ALWAYS enjoy our stay' The staff is great and you are always treated well. Check in and out is quick and easy. We have found that the staff is always trying to please you.
We have stayed at this hotel numerous times. The ambiance is fantastic just like their staff. Beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada. Hotel is situated in the outskirts of Lone Pine in a very quiet surrounding. The full breakfast served is excellent for these unusual times. We look forward to our next visit at this hotel.
As usual the motel suits my needs for a stop over on my way to the desert. I always ask for and receive the same room, as my dog enjoys the large back yard behind the motel...which could be spruced up a bit Room is always clean and neat with plenty of towels, soaps, and basic amenities.
This is one of my favorite BW properties. Have always had a great stay here. Location is conveniently out of the main business area, but close to the road to Death Valley. They have seamlessly transitioned to providing great service during the Pandemic. Rooms are clean, quiet, and comfortable.
I reserved this room online the morning I left. When I arrived about 9:30 in the evening the staff was very friendly and helpful, and check in was a breeze. The room was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. The next morning the breakfast staff was extraordinarily helpful and very friendly while remaining very professional, and the food was good, too. I had some emergency printing of documents I needed right before leaving, and they made sure I was alright. I recommend this place for several reasons, and the biggest one is the staff.
It is rare that a humble looking motel should earn a 5 star review. Now that doesn't mean the Best Western is a 5 star property like a Peninsula or Four Seasons, but that the standards by which we judge it were not only met but exceeded. From the outside, the property looks like any other roadside motel from the 50's. That is actually part of its charm. It is clean and well maintained, it even has a small relaxing looking swimming pool. The rooms, however, punch above their weight class. The larger guest rooms all have names of 50's and 60's movie stars. We were lucky enough to spend a night in room 172, the Roy Rogers room. Unlike so many 2 star properties, the owners here actually but thought and care into designing the room. From the spaciousness of it, to the comfortable couch and leather chair, to the large TV with a large number of channels. The bathroom had great, lemon scented toiletries, and even had a jetted tub! Here is what really makes the property special, the "named" rooms all have pictures relating to their namesake. Our's had a bunch of photos of Roy Rogers, Dale Evans and Trigger. The room itself even connected to the Dale Evans room. That was a nice, a sweet gesture. The room was spotless, you can tell the employees care. Parking was ample. Great dining options only minutes away. Absolutely loved our short time here. If we are ever in the area again, we would only choose the Best Western Frontier. Thanks for the great stay.
great breakfast service with quality food. Nice staff, clean environment, convenient location. Safety, large room except mattresses are too soft, I have to sleep on the ground Noises from fridge and air conditioner
Our car parked in front of our room. So basically it's like living at home, very convenient for packing and loading our luggages. The breakfast room is small but pretty. We can also dine outside with the Mt. Whitney as background. Room is clean and spacious, with coffee machine inside. The swimming pool is heated. There's also a fitness Center.
For what it is, roadside motel, this is a classic. They do it right. The property is near the main highway, but we had very little road noise. It is within easy driving distance to restaurants in the main part of town. The grounds are well kept and has a cute saguaro cactus sculpture. The staff were cheerful, friendly and helpful. The room was large, very clean and had two sinks. The mattress was great. The fitness center was closed due to county COVID restrictions. The pool was open. They had a hot breakfast option with a limited menu. No cereal. The price was reasonable.
I do like to stay here when I visit Lone pine. You have your own parking space with the same number as your room. That is a nice feature. I have been to BW in West Yellowstone(Montana), Meridian(ID), Ehrenberg(AZ) and Needles(CA). This is place is the first to offer hot food for breakfast. so, I had scrambled eggs and sausages. I had special paper bag, Covid-19 breakfasts in three places. If you leave very early, you will get a paper bag BF from 5:30 to 6:30. The only disadvantage is the location; it is about 1/2 mile out of town. I docked a point for this: I came to the office to drop off my room key. I scanned the desk and did not see a key box. So, I waited for clerk who was helping another customer. It took at least five minutes. I asked where the key box. The clerk said, "Oh, the box is sideways." I was on my way back home and I did not appreciate the delay. So, I gave four dots instead of five.
My family and I travel a lot. This location here was very upsetting. I chose to stay here because of these good reviews but was I wrong. Beware!!! 7am as my family including my kids were asleep the maids next to us in that utility room were yelling so loud and across the hallway to each other. They were blasting music and making so much noise. We had no choice but to be wide awake very upset. My husband had to get up in Pjs to tell the workers to keep it down. Overall it was a terrible experience and if I could I'd definitely let whoever I can know in advanced that this location was somewhere to stay clear of. I wish I can get some or at least all of my money back. It was definitely not worth it in this town.
I had a wonderful stay in Lone Pine at the Best Western, and the hotel staff, especially Margarita, helped me with supplies I forgot from home and information about the area. I am planning to return again soon.
My husband, two cats and i spent three nights at this motel. We were in a warning evacutation zone. We decided to leave anyway and escaping the smoke in the LA area. The staff was wonderful. We were not fully prepared for a motel stay and they were helpful providing some of the things we had missed while packing. The room was very clean and equiped with a microwave and fridge. There was a nice picnic area with tables and little grill where we could sit and enjoy the blue sky. I want to extend a thanks to the staff of this motel. You are working hard to insure the safety of everyone who stays there during the Covid. And are more than welcoming to those of us who were also escaping the smoke and fires. Thank You!
Had a great 3 night stay here while exploring the Alabama Hills. The bed was super comfortable, the room was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. The room also had blackout drapes, which was key since we slept during the day and stayed out late to photography the Milky Way.
Stopped for the night while road tripping. The front desk staff was very friendly. It was easy to check in. The room was clean. Tv and internet included. Nice view of the mountains. Nice area, happy with their service!
Clean and well maintained. We stayed for three days. I Would have loved it-- if they checked with us like do you want us to change the towels, trash or clean the room, etc.. (which they didn't ) Otherwise good.
Our family stayed one night before a week-long backpack and were happy to see the safety protocols that the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel implemented. These included all workers wearing masks, plexiglass shields between front desk personnel and guests, hand sanitizer in the lobby, and the complimentary breakfast served in packages and per guest instead of a buffet. We found our room and bathroom to be very clean, and relished the memory of them as we backpacked each of the following days. My younger son and husband enjoyed the pool, too. The next time we stay in Lone Pine, we will make our reservation here.
Alecia really made my stay amazing. The booking process was simple, my room was clean and had all the amenities I had requested and the property had beautiful views right at the base of Mount Whitney. I will surely come back and stay here again next time I'm in town
We thought we had found a diamond in the rough, since there are not many quality hotels in this town, but we were disappointed. Check-in was a little creepy with some of the staff ogling my wife, The room was something out of 1982 with worn furniture and carpet and a very noisy wall air-conditioner. I am a Best Western Rewards member, so when they call a hotel a Best Western Plus, you expect something better than a standard Best Western. To be frank, I've stayed at many standard Best Westerns that were much nicer and more modern than this place.
Lone Pine is small so there are not too many options for places to stay but this is a decent one. The first night we stayed there was a bug in 1 bed. Can't confirm it was a bed bug, but can confirm it wasn't a spider or ant... We stayed again 2 nights later (after hiking Mt. Whitney) and the new room had a dead cockroach in it and a bathroom door that wouldn't close all the way. The beds were comfortable and breakfast was included so it provided what we needed.
There are not many options in Lone Pine, and I was a bit nervous as a solo female travelers to stay in a room right net to the highway. The room itself was huge, and the beds very comfortable. However, we did find both a flea and spider in one of the two beds. Luckily it was just one of each.....
If you are scent sensitive, this is NOT the place for you. It was overpowering as soon as we opened the door. My throat was immediately irritated. If it hadn't been so late at night, I would have tried to find another place. Some of the electrical in the room was atypical-perhaps some things had been done by a handyman, as opposed to an electrician. But, there are few options in Lone Pine.
Was staying here with my wife while she was working locally. I got a phone call at 8:30am one morning from the manager frantically asking me to move my vehicle. She asked me why I thought I could park there, to which I replied "the manager told me to park there". She barked back "I'm the only manager!" Sorry, i guess i meant supervisor?? I immediately moved my vehicle without escalating the situation. I thought it was curious because the parking lot was COMPLETELY EMPTY so her frantic tone seemed completely unwarranted. I thought about confronting her but wanted to take the high road since my wife's company booked the rooms for us. Come to find out, she sent a nasty email to my wife's supervisor about our "altercation". Okay, gloves off. Your manager has no business working in a guest relations capacity. She is a hot head snowflake Karen. I'm disgusted that she contacted my wife's employer after I DID EVERYTHING SHE ASKED ME TO DO, PROMPTLY, AND WITHOUT COMPLAINT. I will remove this review if you provide proof that she was fired. You can do better.
I stayed at the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel for a 10-night stint of archaeological fieldwork. The hotel accommodated our entire group for several of these 10-day rotations. I imagine this was helpful to the hotel given the pandemic and the lack of guests, especially on the week nights. The accommodations were fine, nothing fancy, but completely adequate. I did, however, have a very disturbing run-in with the hotel manager after my husband joined me. We had an extra vehicle and I asked the hotel staff working at the front desk where we should park. We parked where we were told and after a few days the manager called our room and yelled at my husband for parking in the spot where we had been directed and where we had been parked for 3 nights already. Rather than yelling at us, the manager should have had a conversation with the staff who provided poor instructions. This is extreme mismanagement and general disrespect of customers. So, while the scenery is beautiful, I would recommend finding a different spot to stay. Quality Inn is right up the street!
While getting ready for bed, we found a spider on the pillow. When we pulled the sheets back, we found gnats and fleas on the sheets. The front desk person came out and said it was a pet friendly room and someone may have had a pet with fleas. No other rooms were available.
I am an artist and my husband and I were in Lone Pine for a couple of days so I could paint the beautiful Sierras. The hotel was clean, comfortable and we had a great view of the mountains from our extra large room. My husband was very happy that we had a large TV with high definition and a big surprise was the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Would definitely stay here again when we come to the area. I hope that will be soon and that all the businesses will be open and thriving in your lovely town.
This was a nice stop for our short stay on our way to and from our destination. Friendly staff. Good value for the price. Rooms need some upgrades. New carpet would be nice. The first room we stayed in was great! The second one not so good, clean but shabby.
For over ten years, my husband and I used to travel twice a year between Lake Tahoe and Palm Springs, with two small dogs - May and December. The door-to-door distance is 500 miles. I am now alone (my husband died )and driving the entire distance by myself is not wise. This sweet little motel is exactly 250 miles away in either direction! Each year we saw continual upgrades in the physical buildings, interiors, etc. The front desk staff has always been helpful and friendly; and though we don't eat the breakfast - giving ourselves the pleasure of the Alabama Hills Cafe, the breakfast they provide is perfect for tourists, mountain climbers, etc. Our favorite restaurant in downtown Lone Pine is the Seasons - one of our semi-annual pleasures was dinner at the Seasons when we arrived, then breakfast at the Alabama Hills Cafe. The motel has always been full - lots of RVs, etc. This time, May 1st, with the coronavirus, there were only four other cars in the parking lot. Broke my heart. The motel is immaculate...I very much hope if you're reading this and driving 395 north or south, you'll give them a try.
Motel was basically empty. due to the Virus. Great motel and we have stayed there many times before when it was available. The "grab & Go Breakfast" was a farce! .....A water+apple+fruit bar? Queen size mattress was somewhat soft for two people?
I stayed during the virus shutdown. The staff were great The room was comfortable and clean and quiet and they don't skip on the amenities. Limited breakfast because of the shutdown. Too cold for the outdoor pool and no exercise facilities. I woke in the morning to find a dozen ants scurrying around my bedside stand. I hadn't put any food on that stand so whatever attracted them must have been there previously. Also found ants in the shower. Reported to the manager, said he take care of it and gave me a small discount.
The lady on reception was very helpful, chatty & friendly. The room was very basic, but had everything and was very clean & comfy. There was drink facilities in the room, but also free tea, coffee & hot chocolate in reception. Breakfast was very nice, good choice, although we didn't like the throw away plates & cutlery.... too much landfill and the plastic knife doesn't cut the bacon!
I arrived late after a long drive and they had perfect accommodations for me and my 2 dogs. The property was clean and comfortable. I loved that they had a separate dog area, that was close to our room, and looked to be well fenced. The staff was so helpful, will definitely return in the future.
We stayed here overnight while on our way up to Mammoth in March 2020. Excellent value for the price. The location (like all of Lone Pine) is just a short drive to the Alabama Hills. The room we stayed in looked recently updated. It looked like they were still in the process of renovating some of the other rooms, but there was no noise or disruption to the rest of the motel from what we experienced. The entire place was immaculately clean! Not just our room, but also the grounds. Kudos to their cleaning crew, as we saw them working on the property the morning we left and they were meticulous. Easy check-in and check-out, and the staff was friendly. Free parking, wifi, and basic breakfast. They had one of those pancake machines, which I love. This property is also pet friendly. We didn't bring our dogs with us for this trip, but will definitely return with them in the future.
THE GOOD - and why I would recommend and stay again Good Location Large Rooms Clean Breakfast 5 am - 11 am THE DATED the hotel and rooms were dated, clean, but dated the bathroom door did not fully shut the tv stopped working and even though I called the front desk, it just rang and rang the bed felt like a cement slab and the pillows like flour bags
We stayed here for 2 nights , we had a quick check-in , clean rooms and a comfortable bed. The free breakfast could be better, but it did the job. It start at 5 a.m. which is great for early morning folks. I would stay here again
BW offers a comfortable room that is convenient to all services. The staff is most helpful and friendly. It is one of the cleanest motels I've stayed in. I love the ole film western/cowboy pictures on the walls. Makes you feel you're really out west.
Based on reviews my wife and I stayed overnight on January 31, 2020 on our way from Reno to Los Angeles. Our room smelled terrible when we walked in and we discovered the smell was coming from the tiny bathroom which had a small window open. The old ventilation fan in the ceiling was broken and the bathroom was so small you could barely turn around. The bath fixtures were showing their age and there was no place to hang a towel or place toiletries next to the single sink. Since it was already late we decided to spray the rooms with Lysol, shut the bathroom door and stay the night since there was a No Vacancy sign out and nowhere else to go. The room with king size bed was old, but OK for one night. Nothing to give it more than 2 or 3 stars. The next morning my wife complained to the desk clerk and who just laughed at her and she told her that she should have come to the front desk and asked to be moved to another room! With the NO VACANCY sign out, how was that an option? On our return we took another route through Tonopah. The Best Western in Tonopah was excellent! What is the Plus in "Best Western Plus" Frontier Motel for, the smell?
Just an overnight stay at this hotel. It is nice that the hotel is pet friendly. It is getting harder and harder to find such a place. Our stay was fine. The rooms and hotel as a whole are a bit dated and dark, but room was nice and quite roomy...no complaints. Breakfast was the typical hotel-type free breakfast. Could have had better selection but was OK. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again.
Lone Pine, I thought Berlin, Maryland was the best little town in America, but Lone Pine will give them a good fight. The restaurant's in this community are world class. Plus, if you have enough time, don't miss the Museum of Western Film History. It's a great take, and everyone who attends has rave reviews. Also, everyone I bumped into seemed so sociable. Very safe community and you can see Mt. Whitney's mountain.
Stayed here while visiting Manzanar Internment Camp. Called an hour before we arrived, and got the last room with a king bed. Very friendly desk staff, fixed a minor problem in the room very quickly. Clean and comfortable room. Pool area, although it was too cold for us to swim. Recommend.
We stayed as a family for one night on our way home from Death Valley and chose to stay in Lone Pine because of its location near the Alabama Hills. This Best Western exceeded our expectations. The room was big so we could unload our car and still have plenty of room to relax in the room. The fridge and microwave were nice (the lobby has a small freezer with emergency frozen dinners for purchase if you're coming in late) and the room had been nicely remodeled. Beds were comfortable. Nice surprise jacuzzi tub. Also, it was surprisingly quiet given that it's on the high way. Maybe being just out of town helps with this? Visitor's Center is just down the road to load up on maps of the area and Death Valley. Finally, the breakfast was a veritable feast of hot and cold options. Family of three enjoyed the spacious room and hearty breakfast for only $90/night. Staff were all friendly!
Great value for money - my huge room was only USD$88! Great views of the mountains. Room was very nice - had a sitting area, huge bed, good tv with cable. Def recommend this hotel. Rooms were very warm as it got cold outside.
Our stay started out with early check-in provided and our expectations continued to be exceeded! Our room was clean and spacious. The whole facility was very clean. Great breakfast too - all for an awesome price!
We enjoyed our overnight stay at the Frontier Motel. We had a nice large room with sitting area. All the rooms are named after Hollywood stars who filmed in the surrounding mountains. We stayed in The Gregory Peck room. The room was clean, breakfast buffet had a good selection and the staff was very attentive.
We stay stay at this hotel every time we travel to this area for business because it is comfortable, great price, and a great location for where we have to be. Breakfast is good, internet it's fast, king size beds are very nice. Rooms are big.
The experience was seamless from a late check in to morning full delicious breakfast. clean quiet room that was in great working condition and has a great fan option on the AC unit to help us sleep. We checked in late and someone was there to help us quickly and efficiently. We asked for a room away from the freeway so it was real quiet. Lots of channels on the cable TV. Shower was hot and consistent temp. They also has shampoo body wash and conditioner in the shower that was citirs smelled great.
Stayed while passing through town. Clean, comfortable. Not the quietest, heard everything in the parking lot when workers started their day at 6 am. Shower head dripped, but told front desk and she got on it quickly when we checked out.
Clean and comfortable. Warm water and working heater. Great to have a hot breakfast during two extremely cold winter mornings. Excellent value and convenience during my first trip to Lone Pine. Thank you very much!
We stayed at the Best Western in Lone Pine, CA. We normally stay there twice a year, but did not make the trip last year, and noticed a big change this time. The carpet in our pet-friendly room was FILTHY -- no excuse for this. The staff had forgotten to plug in the refrigerator, and so it took hours before it was ready to use. The bathroom sink barely drained. The breakfast, which used to be quite good, was lousy by comparison to two years ago. The only saving graces Best Western offered this year were the lady who oversees the breakfast room -- she was fantastic -- and the front desk staff, who were quite helpful. Unless BW ups its game, I will not be staying there again.
POSITIVES: Large spacious attractive comfortable room! Wife loved it. Outstanding bathroom amenities.... Soaps were far above any competitors products, bath towels were huge and very fluffy. Beds were comfortable. And the place was Dog friendly! NEGATIVES: Poor TV selections, excessive heater noise, very poor coffee (undrinkable in our opinion). I still consider this place outstanding and would stay there again!!
Room was large and very clean. Was able to stay with my dogs which is another plus. The breakfast area has a good selection of food and the staff is attentive. Very convenient location with Bishop close and an easy drive to Death Valley. We would definitely stay here again!
I arrived after sundown on a snowy night. Check in was something else. There were 2 girls working the counter and then another man (maintenance?) goofing off with the girls, throwing keys back and forth at one another. Not at all what I expected when I walked into the lobby. My room was clean and quiet. Upon entering the room, it was cold. Fortunately it didn't take too long to warm up. The bed was comfortable and provided a good nights rest. Breakfast was downright awful. Every item that was supposed to be warm or hot was burnt. I did try the eggs, but ultimately threw them away. I ended up at the McDonald's down the road. I would have given this property 5 stars had it not been for the horrible breakfast and the employees goofing off at check in. I would stay here again out of convenience.
Gem of a hotel . Loved the spacious room and clean beds and bathroom. Couldnt believe they had organic soaps, shampoos and conditioner. The room had ample space for family of 4 with 2 grown up kids. The breakfast had many options and food was extremly delecious( 5 stars to their coffee). They had eco friendly plates and bowl.!!The staff was extremly courteous and pleasant. The price according to me was a steal and a bargain.
our two queen room was much bigger than expected, which was much appreciated. the bathroom was small, but looked semi recently renovated, and there was a modest sized walk in closet. hot breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and potatoes. kids liked the pancake machine. the servers were very friendly and recommended that we visit alabama hills before we headed out to death valley. overall this is a very affordable, clean place to stay before visiting death valley.
Why is it when a night is stormy that a hotel can seem so good? We got into Lone Pine looking for a place to stay on our way to Death Valley. We found that the Best Western had a good price for a queen bed, clean room and friendly staff. On the later, the lady at the check in found us a good price. The bed was comfortable and there was not much noise, except for a passing semi on 395. The breakfast was eggs, bacon, sausage, bread/pastry (maybe from Alabama Cafe???) along with hot and cold cereal. They had a pancake machine, but it was not working. Would I stay here again? Yes.
We had a very nice room,clean, with great beds and pillows. That's the main reason we always stay at Best Western. Wonderful breakfasts included. A bonus on this visit was the beautiful photograph I captured just before sundown right out behind the hotel.
We stay at this motel every time we visit the Eastern Sierras. The rooms are immaculate with extra amenities, and many are named after famous movie stars that have been filmed in movies in the immediate Lone Pine area. The free breakfast features freshly cooked eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns, and is the best free breakfast we have experienced at a roadside motel. There are picnic tables in several convenient locations around the 1st-floor only motel layout. And across the street is a majestic view of Mount Whitney and the Sierra mountain range. This place has it all!
I visit Lone Pine often just to get out of Los Angeles. I've stayed at this hotel on every visit (probably 8 times now). It's immaculately clean, comfortable rooms/bed, great breakfast included, and attentive staff. I work remotely and have visited the hotel midweek sometimes just to focus in on projects: the WiFi is business class and never lets me down. Never mind the that when you wake up and walk out of your room in the morning, you have Mt Whitney hovering over you in all its glory. This place and the surrounding Lone Pine area is a great retreat.
We stopped-in late on a November mid-week evening and were given a very nice room at an affordable price. What a nice surprise! The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was nice too (except that they did run out of a few items). We stayed in the Roy Rogers room on the south side of the property.
WE had such a good night it was hard to get up and leave the next morning. Very Very quite first time we have found such a nice Motel and were actually able to sleep through the night without noise. Will stay here again when we come down next fall.
The hotel was perfect. It was very comfortable and clean. They have everything you need: comfortable bed, clean and big bathroom, tv channels and so on. The staff was nice and helpful. I recommend it to anyone!
Large but dated room, nice to be able to park up at the door. Friendly check in. Standard breakfast, and good to have re-usable metal cutlery. The property was out of town, so had to drive to restaurants. Room was quiet until a selfish trucker decided to run his engine for 10 mins at 6am, waking around 10 rooms so he could drive off in a warm cab. Selfish b.....
Comfy and clean rooms, quiet location very close to town. God TV and internet. Very good full hot breakfast offering! Friendly staff, recommend advance booking during busy summer months. Rooms at rear of buildings are very quiet; outdoor sitting area with great Mountain View's.
On our group Jeeping adventures in the Lone Pine area we always stay at the BW Plus Frontier Motel. We need to get an early start and the breakfast is hot and ready early. The staff is friendly and courteous.
A great place to stay when exploring the beautiful areas of the east Sierra Nevada Mountain range by Jeep. So much to see and knowing that you are able to return to a nice location at the end of the day is comforting. They also accept your furry travel partners.
Although the motel buildings are a little dated, the rooms at this hotel are well cared for and up-to-date. Good climate control, ie not too hot or too cold and easily controlled. Reasonably well run motel style facility, i.e. drive up to door.
By far the best hotel in the Lone Pine area. Plenty of parking in front of your room, some spaces are even assigned by room number which is even better. Comfortable beds and extremely clean. Friendly staff and
Dave's nappa lone pine cal smart guy Dave gen would not start turns out the oil level was low and would not start I felt so low but very happy Dave is number 1 + 100# good and smart and common sense.Now I can go camping on my trip and make my Expreso mocha,s
When driving from the Lake Tahoe area down to San Diego, I like to break the long drive up and normally I stay at the B.W. in Bishop. On the way back this time, I decided to try this B.W. due to all the good reviews, and the mention of the incredible view of Mt. Whitney from the pool/lawn area. The view WAS INCREDIBLE. And the breakfast stuff was good; usual suspects (eggs/bacon/yogurt, breads, etc). The staff was friendly, too. That is the good news. As far as a good night's sleep? hmmmm...sort of. This is an old motel, and while there is no one above you, the walls are paper thin and you can hear the people talking/coughing/etc in the room next door. Also, when I stayed here there were many "worker bee" trucks and when they would back up out of their parking space, their truck would make this annoying "beep beep beep" the entire time the truck was backing up. I heard them at 11pm at night, so I put in my ear plugs in order to get a good night's sleep for the drive up to Truckee the next day. At 5:30am, I guess they all left for work as the beeping started again - and I could hear them even with my ear plugs in! I will probably continue to stay at the B.W. in Bishop.
Stayed here for 1 night on a road trip. The hotel is right on Highway 395, close to the Eastern Sierra visitor center, Alabama Hills/Mobius Arch and the main road into Death Valley. Room was basic but clean, parking spot in front of room was very practical. Complimentary breakfast. Good Wifi. A great base for exploring the Eastern Sierra/Death Valley.
We've stayed her before with a small dog; this time no dog and a different room, which was excellent. Layout was good, Heater/ AC better than most motel/hotel units, updated coffee machine with double cup capacity, chair and lamp for reading or tablet work. Overall, very comfortable.
Our trip consisted of 10 days traveling throughput California & this was one of our stops. I wish we could have taken this hotel with us as it was the best we encountered. The beds super comfy. Spacious room. Super clean. Quiet. The setting looking out at the mountains was gorgeous & the staff excellent.
The Best Western Plus Frontier Motel offers very nice, clean rooms south of downtown Lone Pine. The rooms include microwave, television, refrigerator, and wifi. The best part of the hotel is that your parking space is right next to your room door for easy access to unload and pack your car. Staff was friendly. They had a good cooked complimentary breakfast. The hotel also offers maps of places to see in Lone Pine, which helps increase their rating. We recommend this hotel.
After a grueling 18 hour climb of Mt Whitney I wanted a good nites sleep before my 6 hour drive home so I got a room at BW rather than remain at camp and sleep in a tent. The next morning housekeeping knocked on my door just before 8am. Half hour later another housekeeper knocked on my door again. Unable to fall asleep again I just checked out and drove home. All else was fine but waking guests up that early is completely unacceptable.
This Motel served the purpose of being the midway point between traveling for Las Vegas to Yosemite. The Motel has a nice pool which we didn't have time to use. The guest room was satisfactory in appearance, comfort, and amenities.
We reserved three rooms at the BW Plus Frontier and it was a pleasant stay .... great check in and check out service, clean pet-friendly rooms, each room has an assigned parking space in front of the room so as to avoid jostling for parking, good selection for complimentary breakfast, large pool and outdoor seating, launderette, etc ... and best of all a great spot on view of Mt Whitney. We rarely stop overnight in Lone Pine, but would return when we do!
Drove from Vegas to Lone Pine via Death Valley Clean and tidy. Adequate room and facilities. Usual American breakfast included in the room rate..... not a big selection but ok. The coin laundry was my best friend after 10 days on the road. Room was clean and fresh. Decor whilst not to my taste was also clean apart from old carpet. Pleasant outdoor area with grass and tables to sit at. Staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you.
This is a terrific location. I was a little concerned when I got my room because it fronted the main road, Hwy 395. I needed sleep before a long hike early the next morning, and worried that would be impossible with the highway traffic outside my window. The room turned out to have enough soundproofing to make this a non-issue. I rested well, and checked out early for the hike up Mt. Whitney. I'd gladly stay here again on my next trip to/through town. Excellent accommodations and friendly staff.
We had to change the reservation at the last minute to add a night and arrive early and cancel the last night. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Excellent breakfast in the morning. The room was clean and nice.
We've stayed a couple of times at the Best Western in Lone Pine. It is affordable and clean with a very friendly staff and incredible location. We will be coming back to stay at the BW since Lone Pine is a great destination spot for doing lots of day trips into the Sierras.
Was quite pleased with our stays at several Best Westerns in California and Utah. Pools were always nice and they offered complimentary warm breakfast. Staff was able to provide me gluten free options from the breakfast menu.
My husband and I stayed at this location as we needed accommodations both before and after a day hike to Mt. Whitney. It was a recommendation by the hikingguy.com and it didn't disappoint! The customer service amazing and the check-in/check-out very efficient, the rooms were clean and the breakfast was great! We got to sit in the dining area and eat breakfast while looking out the window and looking at Mt. Whitney in awe as we had made our first summit the day before. I highly recommend this venue if you need a place in Lone Pine- it won't disappoint!
This Best Western was located at the edge of Lone Pine, a nice setting - quiet, a caring staff, and a central pool. They had a typical well-stocked BW breakfast. The room was a good size, and the bed was very comfortable.
The BW Lone Pine is right on 395 - really easy to find. The property is like the "motor lodges" of the past, but the rooms are clean and modern. Breakfast was great, with an option to eat outside near the pool. We'll definitely stay here again.
Our room was large and spacious and very clean. When my boyfriend needed a cleaning cloth to dry his car, Maximo (our housekeeper) generously gave him one. We enjoyed the Direct TV in the room. Right off Hwy 395 so it was very convenient for us.
As far as motel experiences, this was our best ever. The staff is very pleasant and nice. Genuine and helpful. The two rooms we had were comfortable, especially the bed. The breakfast was the standard Inn/Motel fare, BUT, the hot items were perfectly prepared and maintained hot. Clean and well maintained rooms and grounds. A very very pleasant surprise for a one night stop. Thank you BW Frontier!
Pd. $140 (incl tax) for a Sunday night end of July. Hotel is right on Hwy 395 but a ways from restaurants further north in town. They've taken an old motor inn and updated it. Parking spaces are at your door and numbered. Get a room on the ground floor unless you want to take suitcases up stairs. Very small bathroom, and small shower stall, but thick/fluffy towels. Room was clean and king bed was comfy. Room was fine but just a 1 night stopover on our road trip to Lake Tahoe. On our way back home, we stayed in Ridgecrest CA (about 15 mins off Hwy 395) at a Quality Inn on a Friday night and had a little better room for only $100 (incl tax)...so I think this BW is a little overpriced. Don't have any recommendations for other hotels in Lone Pine, since this was our only stay. Bummer that it was so far to restaurants. Too far to walk in the heat. Pool was popular. Front desk clerk was very helpful and nice. Across Hwy 395 you get a good view of Mt. McKinley.
We arrive at night, around 9 pm, with relatively low expectations especially upon arrival when we realized the single story Motel, not Hotel, buildings. I know, the name says "Motel". The front desk staff was nice & friendly, the room clean and updated, and location great for a quick look at Mount Whitney and a few short hikes around the area or for the big climb. If we return to this area, we would stay here again.
Parking is reserved for specific rooms, but not all rooms. Be aware of parking in someone elses space. The reaction was not pleasant by the staff. Your room may not have a designated space. You may not be notified of the policy at checkin.
Stopped for one night with our family whilst on a road trip. Lovely big rooms and comfy beds and having a pool to cool down with was a bonus. Only drawback would be the breakfast is a little average. If you're wanting to eat out in Lone Pine most places close at 9pm
Excellent location with wonderful views of Mt Whitney and the Sierra Nevada. A pool and a welcoming outdoor area to enjoy late afternoon sunshine. Attentive staff and all the amenities you want from a full service hotel.
this motel was an authentic reminder of classic western americana. tasteful and not overdone a great roadside motel. a great lawn to relax and watch the mountains. more than a bed but short of a resort
Large rooms friendly staff and overall nice place. Fitness center is below par, and the pancake machine needs fixed but overall a good place. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very large and clean.
This is our second stay at this motel. The first time we stayed in room named after John Wayne. It was fine. This time we stayed in room 136, the two mattresses are old without proper support. We ended up with back aches in the morning and a restless sleep. The carpet looks old, frazzled and dirty. Breakfast ran out early, and had to wait for the next refill. We instead escaped to a restaurant down the street for breakfast. The rest is average for a small town motel.
I am speculating that BW took over an older motel and did renovations. The bathroom looks nice initially but when you look closely., the grout and chaulking is poor workmanship. This place will have major water damage in the near future. The doors appear to be from the original motel- very bad shape. The rug needs to be steam cleaned or replaced. On the positive sides, the bathroom is huge. Depending on your stride, it takes me 5 or 6 steps to go from the sink to the bath. The air conditioner works great. The furnishings are in good order. They do offer hot breakfast starting at 5am. The first morning, there was no coffee since the night person had no idea how to put the machine back together. They offer scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausages and bacon. You can make your own pancakes. On the second day of my stay, coffee was available. You have your own parking space which matches your room number which is a nice feature especailly when you come late, there is a parking spot near your room.
Easy access to Mt Whitney. Hve stayed in the past and would recommend this place anyone or everyone. Great resting spot to visit all the local sites. The staff have always been friendly and polite and would request that they all keep up the good work.
Great hotel. The staff was very friendly. Pool was clean. Breakfast great. Our room was a little small but the bathroom was fabulous. Everything was clean and well maintained. The view is also beautiful. We loved it!
i always stay in this hotel in lone pine as it is right next to the Alabama Hills where i go a few times a year for photography.nice heated pool, great rooms, assigned parking and the best included breakfast i ever had !(the coffee is excellent too, and available 24/7)right of the freeway highly recommended!
Motel has a scenic view. Animals are allowed. Only bad thing is the motel is a little ways out of town which is nice except must drive to eat anywhere. Employees are friendly. Parking is available close to room
This is a park outside your door type of motel. We reserved a king room and in the online photo there was a table and two chairs. The room we were given did not have this amenity and the location was not as requested either. The problem was solved once we pointed this out and we were given a room with a table and chairs farther off the road. The second room had a much smaller (tiny) bathroom. We were comfortable enough for one night and the property was will kept, the room was clean and the stars at night were amazing.
Easy check in and check out. Hotel is half a mile from downtown where there are numerous restaurants. Plenty of parking and you park right in front of your room. There is a an outdoor pool and an area set up with chairs to sit. Room was clean, bed comfortable, bathroom clean. Breakfast had a wide assortment of hot and cold items. This is a great place to spend the night.
This has been a recurring location for my family and I to stay at. It's located on the edge of Lone Pine with outstanding views of the mountains. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The rooms are quiet. Very quiet. We've been here multiple times when all the rooms are packed and you pretty much don't hear a thing. The showers come with shampoo, body wash, and conditioner from dispensers on the wall; they smell great. This location is pet friendly and they don't charge you a fee unless your pet soils the rug or damages the furniture. All rooms come with newly installed fiber optic internet. Unfortunately I couldn't find a direct connection for my laptop, however I was getting 120 Mbps Download and 120 Mbps Upload (which seems to have been upgraded from 50 down and 50 up) through the wifi. This really only applies to you tech guys or those of you that like to upload your photos or stream movies. Breakfast is from 5-10am (I believe). They serve pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and the other typical continental breakfast fare (sorry no packaged danishes though). The breakfast staff is awesome. They will make sure you have everything you need and even go grab things for you if you forgot something. The room is decorated with old western movie memorabilia relevant to the town of Lone Pine. Sitting in the main room also gives you great views of the mountains while you eat. After breakfast the room stays open for those who want coffee or some other types of drinks 24 hours a day. Overall this place is fantastic. This has been my family's go-to spot anytime we come to the Eastern Sierras. We have always had a great experience here.
Sort of retro, but well cared for. Nice room, clean. Breakfast was excellent, staff was courteous and efficient. Quiet location on south end of town. Pool looked nice, but it was too cool while we were there to use.
Not a lot to choose from in this area but this is the best place to stay in Lone Pine. A bit more expensive than others but quiet, clean, well kept, pool, view, breakfast, nice staff. Parking in back for vehicles with trailers. Usually fully booked so plan ahead.
This the third time that I have stayed here in the past year. The rooms are clean and have comfortable beds and pillows. The desk staff and the breakfast staff have always been friendly and professional. I will stay here again in the future.
My wife and I came here mainly to visit the Alabama Hills. So I picked this motel, since we try to stay at Best Western when feasible. This is a pretty compact facility, and parking is pretty tight, but all spaces are assigned to your room, so there is no quibbling with anyone, unless they got your space, which was not a problem. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable enough unless you plan on spending your whole day there. Breakfast was pretty good. One thing I will add is that the cleaning service worked like robots. We stayed 3 days, and every day, every item in the room was there, and right were it should be. Good job on that. One observance is that there are a good number of military jets overhead, much of the time. Hard to see but easy to hear.
Great clean hotel with a beautiful view of the Alabama Hills. It was the perfect location for us between our drive through Death Valley and Yosemite National Park. And getting a complimentary breakfast was a fabulous bonus.
We do 395 from San Diego to Reno twice a year and we stay at the BW without fail. We usually get two adjoining rooms for a friend who travels with us since we are "caravaning". We have dogs and my husband drives the truck with trailer and they accommodate us (he finds parking on the premises, which is important to us) and making it easier to safely overnight. The room is totally fine (considering that it is used as a dogroom) and everything works (almost, the soap supplies in the shower are all empty and can make you hopping around bucknaked and wet looking for soap). Breakfast is reasonable good and everything you might want is there (please better coffee) that is a big plus when you want to move on and get on the road again. All in All a very good value and convenient. Plus the beautiful view of the Sierra and mt. Whitney. Wonderful in the early morning.
We stayed here for one night while driving from LA to Las Vegas via Death Valley. Lone Pine is a small town in the middle of nowhere so it is not right to compare this motel with other Best Western Hotels in larger cities. The motel is situated in the most amazing position and the views of the mountains are spectacular.There is very litte accommodation in Lone Pine but this motel was perfect for an overnight stay. Although slightly old, the room was a good size, very clean and comfortable. We had good air conditioning, fridge and Internet connection.The motel also offers use of a small fitness room and outside swimming pool. The breakfast was fine. We would have liked more variety of fresh fruit but perhaps it is difficult to get these ingredients due to the remote position of the motel. The breakfast room was a little on the basic side and I expect the paper plates are to cut down on the washing up. The only negatives were that the lady on reception when we arrived was not too friendly and the swimming pool was not open. We were looking forward to a swim after a long drive in very hot weather. However, we would recommend this motel for a relaxing overnigt stay.
Nothing special we stayed one night while passing through,there isint a lot of places to stay in lonepine so no real choice Rooms were big Aircon worked well Beds were comfy Room was clean but very old and tired Car park can be difficult when guests seem go park there pickups with trailers where ever they. Want Patricia on reception was very nice Breakfast was the worst we have had in 8 days in cali so far 4 hot to choose crispy bacon sausages eggs and potatoes..eggs and potatoes were stone cold Deffo just a one night stopover for this one
Overpriced motel with a rude desk clerk! Oh, by the way, if you have a larger pickup or anything larger you will have a heck of a time even getting through the parking lot moreover squeezing it between two other vehicles! NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!!!
Stayed here for one night on my way to Death Valley. Cold time of year (February) and the room was freezing when I entered. The room heater did warm it up after around half an hour, but was too noisy to keep on all night. However, the bathroom had no heater and an old tile floor, felt like stepping into a fridge to use the loo and take a shower, most uncomfortable! Breakfast was not tasty, scrambled egg like rubber, soggy potatoes and low grade concentrated fruit juice. The staff were friendly so I wish I could write a more positive review, but this really isn't a comfortable hotel. In effect a 50's motel with a mild makeover. How it achieved BW 'Plus' status is beyond me.
Located on the south side of Lone Pine. Single story hotel with buildings arranged around a landscaped garden with pool. Outside corridors with room windows facing the corridor which requires drapes to be closed for privacy. Rooms well maintained, with refrigerator, microwave, wi-fi, accessible electrical outlets,good lighting. Very quiet room temperature control unit which recirculates room air. Window opens for fresh air. Hotel is adjacent to US395 so there is some traffic noise. Spacious breakfast room with a moderate assortment of hot and cold items. There are no restaurants nearby. Front desk staff was efficient and friendly.
Everything was just perfect. The room was sparkling clean and the bed was so comfortable. The towels were like brand new! The breakfast was very delicious and the view was unforgettable! Loved every minute we spend there!
We booked 2 Queens and the hotel room was nice, clean, updated, with a nice whirlpool. It was also dog friendly with a gorgeous view of Mt Whitney. We stopped here on our way to Mammoth Lakes. The breakfast was very good too! Nice value! We would book again!
A decent stay. Room was clean but dated. The room was dark and you could see light under the door. The breakfast was average but the helper was the highlight our our stay. We had a wonderful conversation about the Alabama Hills and she showed us a picture in the next room and pointed out all types of hidden shapes. The view of the mountains was amazing.
This is a great half way stop between our home in Tahoe and our Family and businesses in Southern Cal. We like to stop here to enjoy the morning views of Mt Whitney and to enjoy a great steak at our favorite Steak House (Seasons Restaurant). This time was no exception the meal and the views were both great as well as the nice service at the Hotel
In a small town like Lone Pine with limited options, this BW hotel is a good choice. I would not compare this to hotels in larger cities because it wouldn't be fair to expect top notch accommodations in such a small town. As an overnight stay, it is acceptable. I would stay again.
We frequently drive the beautiful Hwy 395 corridor. An overnight stay in Lone Pine divides our drive. The Frontier Best Western is a comfortable place to stay. The rooms of an old motel continually receive upgrades; the property continues to be well cared for; and, the staff provides good service.
The hotel was clean and in a great location for seeing the mountain range. The Alabama Hills nearby are a fun place to explore. The room was large and comfortable. There was a whirl pool tub in the bathroom that was dated but worked well.
Really cute with a Western film feel with every room named after a character or movie. Western Museum right across the street too. Great view of Death Valley entrance and Mt Whitney. Great value! We were so pleasantly surprised.
We moved from another hotel down the street to this location. It's much nicer than the "other" place in pretty much all respects. It's where I'll stay again if I'm not camping in Lone Pine. Rooms were clean, modern, and quiet. The staffbin the breakfast area were super friendly too.
Wonderful place to stay! Large updated room was well appointed and very comfortable. Linens were nice, and breakfast was delicious. The staff was helpful and accommodating. The town was quaint and the scenery was beautiful. Highly recommend. Great location!
Stayed one night on our way north, and had a very restful quiet night. Hotel is clean and staff are outgoing and friendly. Good breakfast to get us on our way the next morning. Incredible scenery! I would recommend to anybody passing through or staying in the area for recreation.
This hotel was clean and tidy and breakfast was good. Good location for the many things to do in the area. Mt Whitney can be seen from the hotel. The hotel was a very good value. We would definitely stay here again.
My husband and I stayed here for one night on a California Road trip. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, and the room was spacious. The toiletry products (citrus) smelled lovely and left my hair silky smooth. Breakfast was very good for an inclusive option, and the view of the mountains was breathtaking. Would stay again.
We stayed here for an extended weekend to use a base to explore Death Valley. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and had a microwave and fridge. The daily breakfast was hot and had a very good selection. Staff was very nice. I can't think of one negative thing to say! Great place in Lone Pine! We would definitely stay here again!
We have stayed in Lone Pine at this Best Western both times coming to Death Valley, and will always stay there when we go. The Motel is very clean and nice and the bed is very comfortable ater driving. I would recommend it to anyone.
Great staff provided excellent customer service. Room was pristine and very comfortable. Breakfast choices included, many food and beverage choices both hot and cold. Lots of bang for my buck. Will definately be returning for all future stays in Lone Pine .
Have stayed here many times over the years, best motel in Lone Pine ! They are always are upgrading and all of my family members stay at this motel and I always am happy at any Best Western ! They serve a very nice breakfast with all that you could want to start your day. the staff always friendly and quick with anything you need.
IF you are travelling up or down the historic/scenic Hwy 395 the ONLY place to stay in the BEST WESTERN PLUS FRONTIER MOTEL!!! We have stayed up and down the 395 twice a year for over a decade and NOW will NEVER stay any place else. From check in, to the rooms, to housekeeping and the COMP breakfast; GM Travis Powell has an all-star team running his four-decade plus family owned business. Trust me...you'll never stay any place else again in the area; once you have spent a little time at this gem of the Eastern Sierras!!! Cheers PS. Pet friendly with a GREAT area for your pet to also enjoy!!!
The room was neither small nor large, just average for a "road hotel", but it was ok with a refrigerator and microwave oven. The breakfast was ok and the staff very kind. I recommend it. To the west you have the Sierra Nevada and its breathtaking sight. The weather is cold in winter, we arrived at the hotel at around 6pm and it felt like was 25F.
makes for a good half way stop. Very friendly staff, clean & quiet. Also all one level no stairs to climb. Close to the Western Movie Museum, walking distance to food also. It is easy to find right on 395 as you come in to Lone Pine from the south.
I've stayed at the Frontier Motel several times and it is always just right. Location is convenient to Mt. Whitney and other Owens Valley activities. The motel is very clean, there is a fridge and microwave, also very clean. Comfy bed. Checking in and out is a snap. Parking right in front of your room in the "motor lodge" mode, which really is so convenient. Views of the eastern Sierra and the Inyo Mountains from the property (and some rooms) are unreal. It snowed in both mountain ranges overnight during this stay. We woke up to the most fantastic snow-covered mountains. Wow, wow, wow!!
We had a wonderful stay at the Best Western Lone Pine! Rooms were clean, staff was attentive, and breakfast was great! Highly recommend this hotel! Its always a great stop on the way to Mammoth, the staff is local and knows all the cool places to see in and around the area.The check in was quick and the rooms are always clean and easy to access.
The breakfast absolutely blew me away. The selection was phenomenal - from pancakes to eggs to rosemary hashbrowns and so much more. There was hot coffee, tea, flavoured iced coffee, juice, etc. Yogourt, apples, oranges, grapefruit - I've never seen anything like it. The food was fresh and delicious. The breakfast room was clean, homey and comfortable. The breakfast staff are friendly, attentive and take sincere pride in making guests happy.
My party arrived late in Lone Pine and checked in after a late night dinner. Kim was on the front desk and she was FANTASTIC!!! She quickly checked us in, accommodated our request for a 4am wake up call, told us how to use the "rapid checkout" process and told us there was hot coffee 24 hrs. & that she liked to have breakfast ready by 4:30am even though the hours were from 5am to 11am. We booked this overnight stay having been here once before which was a great trip as well. So, waking up and running to the lobby to grab a coffee only to find that breakfast was ready early as she said it would be, quickly checked us out and off we went. Later that day, we were back in Lone Pine, stopped by for a coffee, restroom stop and directions and the two women on the front desk were so incredibly helpful and welcoming as was Kim. Definitely a great place to stay!!
Most comfortable bed ever! Everyone was very friendly, we have zero complaints.We were given a great suggestion for dinner since the town is small, had the most amazing ribs! The hotel had a number of Caltrain workers there that were up and out very early in the morning, their trucks made a lot of noise backing up and one set off their alarm so needless to say they woke us up, no fault on the hotel though.
First time ever seeing a rotating shower head. Pretty cool! About my stay. Amenities that I like: Sink/vanity separate from the bathroom. Microwave/min-fridge. Great wifi. All rooms are ground level. Clean, safe and comfortable. Since I traveled a long distance to arrive at this destination at 5am this morning, they allowed an extra hour for my check-out. I would definitely stay here again.
I had the pleasure to be a guest at the Lone Pine Best Western for 2 weeks on business. The staff is great, professional and helpful. The 2 girls that set up the breakfast are so nice!! They bring sunshine to the eating area at 5 AM! So upbeat and pleasant. They treated me like I was in a restaurant. They have a such a great warm smile on and have such a wonderful attitude. I'll be back! Thanks guys!!
This is an older Road Trip style motel but greatly improved and modernized. I like parking at your door and not having to drag luggage into elevators and such. Breakfast was above average. The view of Mt Whitney and the surrounding mountains is priceless. Our room was way in the back and never heard any road noise.
The Best Western Frontier Motel in Lone Pine is pretty much the perfect package. There really isn't much more you can ask for in a motel. Lone Pine is a beautiful little city and the motel is surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges. The rooms are clean and has all the amenities of a traditional hotel with the added bonus of fiber optic internet (for those of you that are tech dependent and need actual high speed internet). The hot water is hot, the air conditioner and heater work nicely, and the rooms are incredibly quiet (we never hear our neighbors). They also allow pets which is a huge added bonus for my family. There is a full breakfast included every morning that include items such as pancakes, eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, as well as many more traditional breakfast fare. The eating area is nicely maintained and also has a nice view of the mountains. The staff is incredible. Every single staff member I interacted with was pleasant and polite. They made sure to go out of their way to make sure you were enjoying your stay.My overall experience with this Best Western has always been excellent. It's why I stay here multiple times throughout the year.
Quick and easy check in and out.Quiet hotel, car parking right outside the door.Bathtub with massaje . Bed is very comfortable. Room has heater and air-condition.The hotel also has a swimming pool but we did not use as it was in the winter.
toilet didn't work, lights in washroom did not work, heater was noisy and woke us up several times during the night, breakfast was only so- so. I was disappointed that it was a Best Western Plus and I am starting to consider becoming a visitor at another hotel chain.
Good little motel an hour away from Death Valley. Basic room. Good internet service. Bed was comfortable. Food in town was good. Breakfast was available early (a great plus!) but quality was so so. Overall we were quite satisfied.
We stayed at this motel about 10 years ago for a photography workshop - they have certainly upped their game. The rooms were nicely decorated, and very comfortable for two people with a lot of gear. After a week in a national park, we were giddy about the speed and ease of access of the internet. The staff we very friendly and accommodating when we arrived early, and our plans changed at the last minute. We stay in Best Western's when traveling for leisure, and this is one of the nicest properties we've stayed in. We are already planning our next trip to Lone Pine, and will definitely stay here again.
After reviewing TA, we decided to stay here for a stay before heading to LV through Death Valley NP. It was a good choice, hotel is very simple, clean, good service and at highway. Nice view to Alabama Hills, we could manage to visit it as it was so close.
Very nice, great room large bath room, nice furniture bed ect. A very nice self serv breakfast included. Pool ...in warmer weather. Ten minute drive to Alabama hills. All room ground floor. Locates south end of town, five minute drive to downtown.
Convenient location, great value, helpful staff, clean room, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast, great value. Would stay again without a doubt. Did I mention the soft towels? My wife can't stop talking about them.
This chain is all over the map as to quality of various properties in their portfolio This one was a pleasant surprise . Definitely a 1980's type room but bed and pillows were excellent and heating worked great Even wi- fi was more than adequate. For such a small town- a very nice place to stay
My wife and I go to Lone Pine every year on Thanksgiving and stay at the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel. Without a fault the staff has ALWAYS been courteous and helpful,check in and out is always a breeze. The rooms are clean and furnished with fridge,microwave and coffee maker. We are early risers so the early breakfast (5 AM start) works great for us. The motel breakfast has pancakes,eggs,potatoes,bacon,sausage along with hot/cold cereals,yogurt etc. etc. This is a great place to stay and we will continue to stay here.
Stayed here with a large group and had a nice visit. Staff very professional and accommodating. Bed was really comfortable. Breakfast buffet was good and great service from the staff. We would stay here again.
I visit Lone Pine several times a year on business and I have stayed here all but once (where I was forced to stay at another hotel). My experience has always been nothing less than stellar and I will NEVER stay anywhere else. The friendly staff and the comfortable rooms, bring me back time after time. Now, I'll choose no other hotel when staying in Lone Pine.
Stayed for one night whilst travelling from Yosemite to Las Vegas as Lone Pine is located about half way through the trip and close to the entrance to Death Valley. Stayed here based on TA reviews and were pleased we did. Lone Pine is a small town with limited hotel options but a pleasant place to spend the night. The hotel is slightly out of the town and you will need to drive about 5 mins to the restaurants for dinner as this hotel does not have a restaurant. Although the hotel is located on a busy main road I asked for a room in as quiet a spot as possible which we were given, (thank you), and had a very peaceful stay and a good nights sleep. Our room looked like it had recently been refurbished and was comfortable with everything you would need for a short visit including HBO on the TV, coffee maker etc. The included breakfast was very good with hot items and some really lovely muffins. Staff were on hand to help with anything you needed including instructions on how to operate the waffle and pancake makers. Breakfast started early so we were soon on the road again for the next part of our road trip feeling rested and full.
Never have I been treated so rudely at a motel.during the check-in process.Otherwise: this is a very clean motel, with up to date rooms that are spacious and comfortable, WIFI that is probably the most reliable and quick that I have experienced at a motel, well located and easy to find, easy to use and efficient heating/AC system, very nice breakfast buffet.
We were leading a Jeeping group and had an early start time, so the 5:30 AM start for breakfast was a big help getting us out on the trails on time. Breakfast has a good selection of items, great choices for everyone in our group.
This is a classical motel with a plain vanilla room, perfectly comfortable but with a very small bathroom. The breakfast is ok, everything is plastic although the staff were very obliging. Coffee was good. For an overnight transit it's fine and looks like the best available
I go to the Lone Pine Film Festival every year in Lone Pine, California and this hotel has excellent staff, rooms, and breakfasts! I hightly recommend this place. Super great mattresses, too!!! I love this place - great pool as well.
This best western is in the style of the usual roadside motels you see in America. We used it as a stop over during our road trip and thought it was quite pricey but we used best western hotels for most of our trip finding them to be clean and with good facilities for the most part. The breakfast was excellent and the lady working there (Lydia I think) was particularly keen to ensure our needs were met and made for a very cheerful start to the day. We arrived late and left early so can't comment much but the room was large and clean. The bathrooms need updating but otherwise we were very happy with the night's sleep.
Clean, single story hotel with an outstanding breakfast buffet. Very comfortable bed. Large bathroom. I woke up early to photograph Mt. Whitney through the Mobius Arch at sunrise. Awesome! I returned to have breakfast in their spacious dining area. I would definitely return.
We stopped here overnight on our road trip. Last stop before Vegas we needed a good sleep and decent breakfast. Our check in with Patrica went as planned, not the happiest receptionist, but checked on regardless. Once in our room, we found everything clean and as it should be. The room and the complex is a little tired, however it is all very clean. Breakfast was fresh and made entertaining by a little old Greek lady, whom got the canteen interacting! We weren't disappointed by this Motel, we got exactly what we paid for and expected. If you want 5 star, you have to pay for it!
What a nice experience. The small town feel with the nice comforts of city life. I love the view from the courtyard especially once you have climbed Mt Whitney. Puts it all into perspective. W will come back again.
This hotel has a few modern features and some good facilities. The pool is great although too cold for me. There is free WiFi. Parking at your door and a buffet breakfast on offer. The room was spacious and well laid out with a large TV and bathroom sink outside of the shower/toilet area (always a good idea). Free ice was plentiful and they offered towels for the pool also. However the lady that checked us in was not in a customer service frame of mind. We couldn't crack a smile and even when I asked for directions to the infamous movie flat road (which she did give me), there was no enthusiasm. The next morning I found a stand full of helpful maps to that very landmark in the lobby, which would have been so helpful when I asked. Never mind, the receptionist in the morning was much more excited about her job. Our bed wasn't my cup of tea either but there were good blockout drapes. The air-con took a long time to cool down and was noisy, also the shower pressure was weak. But the view of My Whitney and surrounds was stunning.
Very nice hotel with themed hotel rooms. Outdoor barbecue and sitting area. Nice pool. Continental breakfast included. Parking is ok but finding your room at night is difficult due to poor lighting and numbers too small.
We've stayed here several times on our way from Vegas through Death Valley. It's the perfect spot with a lovely view of Mount Whitney. The pool is perfect at the end of a days drive. This time we did notice people using the pool who were not hotel guests and they were extremely noisy which spoiled our stay as we left the pool area earlier than normal. I think the rooms need a bit of a makeover as they are very dark and gloomy now. Always a good breakfast.
Nice clean motel with awesome views of the Alabama range with a view of Mt. Whitney right across the road from where this motel is situated. #1- Personnel at front desk, morning breakfast service and maintenance were all helpful and friendly. #2- Room and bathroom was clean with a whirlpool tub we didn't have a chance to use. Queen beds were very comfortable with plenty of pillows. Quiet setting and we slept well. #3- Breakfast service was the usual choices, I liked their pancake making machine. There are large windows to look out and Mt. Whitney is the main view! #4- Had dinner at local restaurant and other dining options and businesses aren't too far from this location. It was a very short visit but all in all a great comfortable stay.
Just what we needed after a grueling hike up and down Mount Whitney. Rooms and bed were very comfortable. Excellently clean. Bathroom had frosted windows, which I like with the morning sunlight. Tiny porch area with fantastic views of the mountain. You can tell the owner(s) are generous and put a lot of pride in their place. Amazing breakfast and beautiful dining area with more wonderful views of Mount Whitney. I enjoyed the Western theme memorabilia. The breakfast area attendant was so amazing; she should get a raise! Her cheerful attentiveness to the guests made my experience above and beyond. (I regret not asking her name; she says she draws a smily face with a squiggly line on her hand and choose to focus on the happy side, not the sad side.) This place was quite generous with their foods, hospitality, and comfort, and I will definitely be staying here again when I visit the mountains.
This is a very friendly hotel with great wide parking in front of each room so easy access to unload luggage and and have easy fast access at any time. The hotel is set up with good access to pools, ice and breakfast area and lobby. All one level so no one above. Great beds and cable service.
This hotel is comfortable & clean, with a great self serve buffet breakfast. The rooms are quiet and have good air conditioning. The shower had adequate pressure (when you could figure out the strange flight stick-like control for it). Great pool in the middle of the complex. Only criticism is that the rooms are incredibly tired and 70's: but I'm guessing that is part of its "thing" or charm.
Came across this hotel on TripAdvisor after looking for somewhere to stay in Lone Pine. The rooms were big and clean and hotel had good amenities. The breakfast which was included was also a great add on. The only negative was that although it was only half a mile from town centre, the was no path on the busy road and it was very hot. There is no restaurant at the hotel apart from breakfast. Would definately recommend this hotel and would go back if in Lone Pine.
This was my second stay here. Last time was September 2018. The room was 100% cleaner than in 2018. Kudos to the housekeeping team. We hiked Whitney and the hot shower, warm bed and comforts of home after such a grueling climb were incredible.
a great location. the room was what you expected. I was worried about whether we would get disturbed sleep from being in a motel. but I was proven wrong. We had the best night sleep for a while and didn't get disturbed once. would recommend for the sleep but everything is is as you see on the webiste.
In the 'middle of nowhere' is this great motel - just far enough from the town to be quiet and truly only a few blocks from some tasty restaurants and easy commute to Mt. Whitney. The staff was polite, helpful and very accommodating. Our room was 'roomy', comfortable, and the beds had us sleeping like babies. I would recommend staying here to anyone passing through or in the vicinity for the recreation opportunities. I know I'll be back.
Great value motel. Clean, spacious rooms. Laundry facilities. Friendly staff. Breakfast included. Much better than rexpected. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it for a short stay. The only negative is that it doesn't serve dinner and although you can walk the Mike into town, there are no paths on the busy road.
Have stayed at the Frontier most years for the last 12. Have always had clean, nicely kept rooms. Service has always been very courteous and quick, even during late nights. Breakfast has alwaysbeen very good.
Ground floor motel style allowing you to park outside your room - and the parking bays are very spacious. Clean room. Good swimming pool Convenient location on the main street. Good breakfast choices.
We liked the Best Western in Lone Pine. The pool area was nice, and the outside picnic tables were also a great feature. Plus, the breakfast layout and options were above average. However, our room was closest to the road, so road noise was an issue at night. We had to sleep with the tv on to drown it out. Any other room, and this hotel would be a four star stay. We would come back, but would ask for a room towards the back.
We came across this hotel in our travels btwn San Fran and Yosemite. Our beds were comfy, the air conditioning was cold, the pool seemed nice (though we didn't use it but tons of other guests were). If you are a larger person you may have issues with the shower as it could be a tight fit (not sure if that is their standard shower or was just in our room). On the whole, we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again
Stayed in this hotel for three nights... one before Whitney and two after (needed a recovery-day!). The room was very clean and spacious, the pool was clean and surprisingly warm (mid-August, though). The breakfast was good-- lots of options, although fewer if you're vegan. The staff were friendly and helpful... all in all I was very happy with our stay here!
Stayed for one night in August and made use of the breakfast which was reasonable enough in terms of selection (waffles, cereal, pastries, toast, bacon, eggs etc). The bedroom was a good size and the view from the pool and relaxation area was stunning. A short drive from all local amenities and entertainment. The only gripe we had was the extremely loud and fairly ineffective air conditions system. Even with our earplugs it kept us awake but we would still stay again. Staff all seemed friendly.
Excellent location, close to down town, trails, visitor center, profesional staff, excellent breaquast, friendly staff in the dining area, comfortable bed, quiet place. Coffe bar open 24/7. Coffe perfect. Available loundry fascility.
Very nice base for Mt. Whitney adventure. Great breakfast, great room amenities, great bed.The location is within 1/4 mile of Portal Road, Alabama Hills. The staff both for breakfast andfront desk were most helpful. so, great location, great staff and amenities.
Awesome room!!! After spending the day climbing Mt Whitney 14,505',22 miles and 6100'in one day a nice hotel is all we could think about.We surely made the right choice. Beautiful appointed room that was so large you could barely see across it. The breakfast the next morning was the best of the trip. Very clean dining area and attentive staff. This is a must stay if you visit Lone Pine.
This motel is near the base of Mt. Whitney, which is a very popular hiking destination. Book it ahead or you may be out of luck. First let me say that this is an older property, but they have done everything possible to keep it updated. The carpet and furnishings were fresh and nice, the rooms were quiet and away from the road, the beds and pillows were very comfortable, the internet was great, all in all a very nice stay. However, since is is an older property, the bathroom is small, the shower is a step in the size of an old phone booth, and there are very few electrical outlets. We always travel with an outlet extender and an extension cord so we had no problem, but if you need a CPAP machine or have a lot of "toys" that need to be charged, be aware. The breakfast was very nice. If we were in the area we would stay here again. We picked Lone Pine because it was about half way between San Diego and South Lake Tahoe, but it turned out to be a a really interesting little town. Mt. Whitney is impressive, and they have an area where there are very strange boulder formations along a circular road. They have maps in the office, but I have to admit the road is not well marked. It was the location for many old time Western movies and there was a road to that area, but we hadn't planned the time, so were unable to go there. My husband was wishing we had planned to stay an extra day so we could have explored the road up Mt. Whitney
I like that this hotel keeps with the western film theme of Lone Pine, each room is named after a famous western actor. We stayed in the Barbara Stanwyck room, with photos of the actress in a western movie. Room was large, clean, quiet, and comfortable. Breakfast was good, very busy, but at least they have plenty of seating. Road noise was negligible. Would definitely stay here again.
Have stayed here four times on my way to and front Lake Tahoe. Very pleasant, clean and a good breakfast with Mt. Whitney in the background. We do not hike but a number of the guests use this as a base for daily hikes,
My wife and son (8 years old) stayed at the BW in Lone Pine for a week while I went hiking in the High Sierras for 4 days. The staff are wonderful people who go out of their way to be helpful. Here are some examples of how they made our stay more pleasant: When we arrived I discovered we had forgotten to bring a pencil, essential for my son to be able to complete his summer homework packet. Patricia gave us a pencil and made sure to sharpen it for us. When the pencil broke in half Lupita found a new one for us. One day we were having lunch in the breakfast room and Luz found some salsa for us to complement our sandwiches. If we were still in our room when cleaning staff came, they had no problem coming back later to make up the room. My son also felt very much at ease. His highlight of the day was getting breakfast and using the pancake machine. Because of the welcoming attitude of the staff he had no problem independently heading to breakfast as soon as he woke up. (and yes, the breakfast is exceptional!) In the evenings my wife sat in the lobby because our son was asleep in our room. She consistently saw the night staff interact very kindly and professionally with guests no matter what the guests attitude was. We had to change plans several times and added a room and a night to the end of our stay. Due to the limited availability I had made arrangements at a different hotel, just in case. When my wife and son returned from their outing on Friday, Margarita and her daughter greeted her with the news that they were able to make arrangements for us to stay in our original room and were able to find an additional one for my brother-in-law. I know being able to find the rooms is chance related, but I appreciated the effort that went into the arrangements and making it as easy as possible on us. There's a wonderful group of people working here and the hotel is run very well. We look forward to returning and staying here again!
A very short drive from the centre of Lone Pine and perfect for anyone heading between Yosemite and Las Vegas, via Death Valley. Clean, modern rooms and a decent bed. Breakfast available from 5am with friendly staff even at 6am. The front desk were really friendly too so a big thumbs up for all the staff here.
If you are looking to spend a few days spanning towards a week with lots of gear and baggage, this is a good place to stay. Drive up straight to your room as entrances face the car park and at the ground level. In the summer the airconditioning is effectively refreshing. The breakfast is substantial, although it gets boring by day 3. Wifi is strong throughout the compound. Best part is it is just away enough out of town to be away from the crowd but near enough for a 5 minute drive (just a bit far to walk). Across is a gas station and at the distance the Alabama Hills.
very nice and quiet place. the pet area could be improved by putting lighting out there. At night it was very dark and in an area where wild animals frequented (skunks and jackrabbits). Also it would be nice if all the
We drove from Yosemite and stopped here to rest before making the trek to Las Vegas via Death Valley. It was clean, comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The free hot breakfast was a plus. Be advised, if you arrive into town after 9pm on a weeknight, all the food places are closed, even McDonald's. We got some food from a nearby gas station.
It was nice after a 7 day backpacking trip to come to quite room, warm shower and soft bed. A nice view of the mountain from the pool. The morning breakfast is nice. Coffee available 24 hours. Staff nice and knowledgeable about the area.
Would stay again. Appears to be an older property that's been recently remodeled. Very friendly staff. Had a queen room that was very clean. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was large and also very clean. Euro style toiletries which I find very convenient. Grounds were well maintained and have outdoor seating. We didn't use the pool but there were plenty of people enjoying it. Breakfast was great. Hot and cold foods - nice assortment.
This is an old motel which has been well-maintained and updated. I like that we could park right in front of the door, which makes it so much easier to unload luggage, coolers, and all the related things we carry in our car for a long road trip! The room was clean and the beds comfortable, and there was a couch and coffee table in the room. There is a pool and a nice grassy area with tables and chairs to sit out and look at Mt. Whitney. Unfortunately it was over 100 degrees and we couldn't enjoy that feature. The laundry was only a few doors down so we took advantage of that. Breakfast was plentiful and good, except the scrambled eggs were a little dry. I am not a fan of the pillows on the bed, which we found in many hotels and motels on this trip-square, lumpy and hard. Please bring back the old-fashioned kind! Even though this motel is right off the highway, we slept well. Recommended!
Staff was really friendly. The room was large enough and offered everything you need. The pool could be maintained a bit more. Breakfast though was fantastic. We would absolutely recommend the hotel. By the way: AC was very quiet.
I was traveling by myself with my two kids from San Diego to Truckee. We decided to stop in Lone Pine as we were tired from driving and kids can't make the entire drive in one day. I pulled over when we got into town and checked hotel rooms. I saw that the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel had rooms available. We drove there (took 1 minute) and went to the Front Desk. I saw a sign out front that said they were full but since I had literally just checked online, I went in to ask them. The 2 people at the desk were talking to each other and didn't acknowledge me at all. I stood there for a couple minutes right up at the front desk and they just continued talking to each other without looking at me. Finally I just interrupted them and asked if there were any rooms available. The lady at the desk immediately said "no we are full." I told her that I just checked online and there were rooms open. She then said - oh we do have rooms open in a very rude tone. I looked at her and then just turned around and walked out the door. This is the 2nd time I've encountered rudeness and poor customer service here and vowed the first time several years ago I'd never stay here again - pick the Comfort in if you stay in town. Super friendly - drove to them and was immediately greeted with a happy, smiling person who promptly checked us tired travelers in!
One night stopover in 100+ degree heat was pleasant thanks to good air conditioning and complimentary breakfast of hot (eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes) and the usual cold items (cereals, muffins, toast). Clean room and bathroom with tub. Pool. Fair price.
Single story motel, our room was completely remodeled. Newer furnishings, comfortable king bed, very clean, and because we were at the back, minimal road noise from I-395. The pool area and the grassy community area with tables and chairs have a spectacular view of Mt Whitney. All lamps in the room had plugins for electronics and the morning breakfast was very nice with both hot and cold choices. The front breakfast room was good size and there was even a back breakfast room available when the front one was full.
The motel is ok, the bed is very comfortable, our room had a spacious bathroom and the breakfast was ok. The really big downside is that it has a noisy wall unit and the carpet smells bad. We tried to keep the door as much open as possible. I would really recommend to substitute the carpet with tiles and so no maintenance issues anymore.
Stopped here for a nights accommodation while passing through Lone Pine. Friendly staff, a clean room and a decent breakfast. The aircon works but noisy, It's a 20 minute walk to the centre of town to grab dinner.
We stayed in this hotel on the way to Death Valley. The hotel is well designed with great amenities including a fridge in the room. The hotel was quiet and we had a great nights sleep. Lone Pine is an interesting place with lots to see including many familiar scenery from films. Would certainly recommend a stay if you are in the area
Very nice motel. They let us check in early and were helpful in finding a good restaurant. The room was great and very clean. Breakfast was one of the best we've had at a Best Western. Lots of choices with some different things: bacon, potatoes, pancakes and flavored cold brew coffee. Lots of cool memorabilia on the walls. A must see is Movie Flats Road and the Alabama Hills.
This is a really great motel . We stayed for one night to break up the drive between Yosemite and Las Vegas . Very clean and modern, rooms were spacious , nice pool area , nice reception area with a good selection for breakfast ( which was available from 5am , which is excellent if you want to be on the road again early as we did ) We enjoyed our stay , Thankyou
What a joy to find our rooms pre-airconditioned for us. Not only that, but they smelled fresh, looked very clean and must have been recently updated. We had 2 rooms, one accessible and one not. Both were very large but the handicapped bathroom was huge with a walk-in, no ledge to step over, shower, allowing me to shower without any help (nice when we are sharing the room with a grandson). Breakfast starts at 5 am (I was told) and even when we got there at 8, there were plenty of food choices. The kitchen staff must work really hard to keep all the trays full and they even helped gather up our used dishes when we had finished. The kids enjoyed the pool while we adults watched and ate our take out dinner from the local Pizza place. There are tables and chairs set out on a nice grassy area with fantastic views of Mt Whitney and the Sierras. The Office staff were very helpful at check-in and check-out. Although this is an old fashioned 1 story motel with parking in front of your individual room, the insides were as modern as any other BW motel we have stayed in. A lovely visit especially after comparing with another BW we stayed in earlier in the week. Thank you for doing such a great job of making us feel welcome!
Great hotel. Good breakfast. Super friendly staff. No extra charge for our dogs. Very nice pool area. Margarita checked us out and gave us an extra hour at no charge. Will definitely stay there again while in the area.
Stayed here a couple nights because friends and I were hiking Mr Whitney. Looks like they're doing some work on the place as the parking lot had a fresh slurry seal, but still hadn't been stripped for parking. The lobby was pretty average. I believe there is a cafe attached to the front lobby, but we didn't eat there. Our room was well in the back...so a ways from any road noise. It had an in-wall AC/Heating unit. 2 queen size beds...they were nice and comfy. The bathtub had water jets, but we didn't try them out. I think we had a 40 inch flat screen TV, but it might have been smaller. Now we did find a dead cockroach on the floor of our room upon returning from our hike...it wasn't there when we left. Room comes with a coffee maker, ironing board, hair dryer, and small refrigerator. After our climb, we opted to relax in the pool. The front desk said it was heated but it sure felt cool (probably desired during the warmer summer temperatures). Pool towels are at poolside. No sauna or jacuzzi. I think it was a bit pricey to stay here but not like there is a lot to choose from in Lone Pine. For me, nothing more than an average hotel. No objections to staying here again, but only if I can get a good rate...I'd rather camp at one of the nearby mountain campsites if the price is high again.
We had a great stay at this little place. The location was convenient to Mt. Whitney and the Alabama Hills, as well as the small town strip. The room was very nice, AC was strong, clean and the standard Best Western amenities were appreciated. The pool was great for our child and the staff on property went out of their way to make sure were able to access our room while they resurfaced the parking lot. A very convenient stop!
We drove through Death Valley and was heading on to Yosemite National Park so Lone pine was a great place for a stopover. We chose this place because it had good reviews. There are not many rooms and they are all located pool area, with parking out front of the units. The rooms are quite spacious and clean, although the bathrooms are not huge. You also get a breakfast included which is perfect before you head off on your travels again. The little town is not too far away from the motel, a short drive and here there are little shops, a couple of saloons and a few restaurants
My travel buddy and I had two rooms on two different nights as we visited the Eastern Sierras. After the first stay, we were both looking forward to returning for our second night's stay. The mattresses were very comfortable and provided a good night's rest. The bathroom was quite large and water pressure was great. The whole facility was very clean and the breakfast offered hot and cold choices. Parking spaces are numbered for each room, so no problem with getting in late and hunting for a place to park--your spot is right in front of your room. Great value in this lodging.
Stayed at the Best Western hotel at Lone Pine for one night, before traveling through Death Valley. This was an ideal stop off point for the night. Hotel nice and quiet. Room spacious and clean. All staff were friendly and helpful. Help yourself breakfast was plentiful
This is an older motel that has had a very nice interior remodel. The rooms are spacious, especially the bathroom. Pool is nice, parking is outstanding. The breakfast is above average. The air conditioning is a little noisy but you get used to it because it runs all the time. Service is top notch. The whole place is very clean.
We were going to stop in Bishop, but the hotels were full so stayed here. While there were no restaurants close by, the room was inexpensive, service was great, room was quiet, breakfast was hot and tasty. Will stay here again.
We arrived late at night and left early in the morning so we could hike Mt. Whitney. We were able to check in with out any problems and they had designated parking spots for each room to make it easy on the guests. If you had more than one vehicle you might need to ask the front desk for parking.
Very clean. Great amenities. The staff was friendly and helpful. Being just south of the town of Lone Pine, it is quiet and the views from the hotel are spectacular. Best breakfast of our trip! All in all it was a wonderful experience.
This is a very nice motel with an awesome view of the Eastern Sierras and Mt. Whitney. Very motorcycle friendly too! I liked the assigned parking for each room with meant that my motorcycle was parked right outside my door. Breakfast was the usual for a BW.
We stayed here after hiking Mt. Whitney and it was the perfect level of comfort - quiet, comfy bed, great location. The bathroom was a little small but otherwise the room was a good value. Would definitely recommend for others!
Nicely kept, comfortable, with inviting garden seating areas. Breakfast has good selection of both cereals, bakery items, and hot food items. Dining room staff extremely friendly and efficient. A great place to base your adventures in the Owens Valley: Mt. Whitney, Alabama Hills, Manzanar National Monument, fishing, day hikes, etc.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was very large, clean and comfortable. The view from the dining area was fantastic with mountains in the background. Breakfast was good with a good selection of food and very helpful and friendly staff. Would highly recommend it.
Excellent place to stay good amenities friendly staff very comfortable beds and clean rooms nice swimming pool great breakfast will always stay at this motel when in lone pine california beautiful place to visit and a wonderful place to stay
We chose the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel because of its location on Highway 395 on the way to Lake Tahoe. Just outside Lone Pine, the older-style motel was a pleasant discovery. Although the outside appearance seems dated, it is well maintained and clean. The staff greeted us warmly and handled our check-in professionally. We stayed one night in Room 102. It is well appointed, clean and immaculate. Furniture new, clean, stylish. Carpet clean. Large king-size bed and pillows comfortable; sheets and towels soft. TV has Direct TV channels; room has a refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker. As an ADA room, the bathroom is nice size; the bathtub and shower were fine. Be patient for the hot water. The internet is strong. Breakfast is available early at 5 a.m. which makes it convenient. It has both hot and cold choices, i.e. eggs, bacon, pancakes, toast, coffee. Staff work hard in keeping food fresh and available. Parking is right in front of your door with an assigned parking space. You have a beautiful view of Mt. Whitney. The guest laundry room and washing machines/dryers, at the very least, need to be cleaned. The room needs to be updated and remodeled. Cost for the room is $98 plus tax per night including breakfast. I highly recommend this hotel and would return again.
On our trip out from Iowa to see family (in Reno, NV, and Lone Pine, CA) this was by far the best place we stayed on the whole trip. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable! The staff was professional and best of all friendly with a genuine concern for our comfort and we'll being! We will happily recommend this Best Western to friends, family and anyone who asks! Thank you for making our stay so pleasant.
after a very hard day coming out of Death valley on the motorcycles it is a relief stopping at this motel. friendly people, great rooms and heated swimming pool. what more can you ask. Special treat next morning is the breakfast. we'll be back!
The BestWestinPlus at Lone Pine was an excellent choice before setting off through Death Valley from the North. We were in a king room. Very large. Comfy bed. Very clean. Great WiFi. Coin laundry with very clean machines. The staff were especially friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We found it incredible at sunset. To the right the snow capped Sierra Nevada and to the left the Alabama hills. We also enjoyed watching the golden eagles flying about. Definitely recommend.
Lone Pine is an excellent home base for exploring Death Valley, Manzanar internment camp, Mount Whitney, and the Alabama Hills, and this hotel is absolutely fabulous! The room was great, the bed was comfy in two separate rooms we stayed in (we stayed one night, then stayed on the eastern edge of Death Valley the following night, then returned here for the third night), and the breakfast was terrific, with breakfast staff that was truly exceptional. There was a tour bus full of people staying there the first night, and even when they were streaming in and out of the breakfast room, there was plenty of room and fresh food for everyone. Also, the price was competitive (though we did book early, and would recommend that). Would definitely stay again!
This BW was an excellent place to stay in Lone Pine. While the property is older, the staff was universally welcoming, the room was very clean and all room systems worked as expected. Especially appreciated for a photographer, the breakfast area has 24 hour coffee!
We stay almost exclusively in Best Westerns and this was one of the few "plus" B.W.'s that actually felt like it was a higher class of Hotel. Super nice spacious and modern room with comfortable beds, and nice big screen t.v., and an updated modern bathroom with quartz counter tops and a jetted tub. I LOVED the designated parking space! More Hotels need to do this! And its right in front of the room for easy loading and unloading of the car. Direct T.V. so there's Plenty of channels and great reception, they even had Free speech T.V.! Just like home! Also LOVE that's its a one story so nobody's stomping around above you. REALLY good breakfast as well with scrambie eggs, crispy bacon and seasoned potato's. and the lady who tends the breakfast room was fantastic,. all the staff was great. and I like that they don't have a t.v. in the breakfast room. If there's no t.v., it cant be on foxfakenews and ruin my breakfast. If your travels bring you to Lone Pine This is the place to stay!
This motel is easy to get to on the edge of town. It is a short drive to the centre of town where there are restaurants, supermarkets etc. We had an excellent room with a couch as well as 2 queen beds, fridge, microwave. Friendly staff, great views of the Sierra Nevada. I would highly recommend this establishment and happily stay when travelling this way again.
We've used the Frontier Best Western in Lone Pine on visits to Lone Pine and are as impressed today as we were on our first visit by the setting, the quality of the rooms and breakfast, and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. You are truly made to feel at home, a nice feeling when you are on the road. I should add that the view of Mt. Whitney from the Frontier is truly stunning, especially in the morning light.
Stayed here after visiting Death Valley. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They gave us a lot of good advice regarding the restaurants and sites in the area. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was great. Wifi worked well. Would stay here again.
Nice inn with friendly staff, breakfast was good and the location was close to the town and nearby natural attractions, Mt. Whitney, hiking, birding, etc. Room was nice but the air conditioner is a bit loud.
I do not usually review chain properties, but this BW has a lot going for it. There are very few choices in Lone Pine and this is a good choice. Our room was large and very clean. There was nothing extraordinarily, just nice comfortable accommodations. The pool area and surrounding grounds were well kept and perfect for enjoying a beautiful sunrise or sunset. The view of the Sierras in the morning was spectacular. The breakfast was very good for a hotel buffet. I would stay here again on the way to Death Valley.
This hotel is reasonably priced and is located just before you come into town on the south side of town. Nothing fancy but adequate when visiting Lone Pine. One other thing good is that they start serving breakfast as soon as 5:00 AM. I would give them 4 stars but we had two issues. 1) The person who checked us in was not the most friendly and she only made our keys good for one night when we were staying for 2, which locked us out and we had to get new keys. 2) We did not want our room cleaned one day as we left some valuables in the room so we put out the do not disturb sign. That did not stop the maid who took the sign down and went into the room anyway. Not good.
Lone Pine is probably the first sizable town heading up the 395 after leaving the LA metropolitan area. Best Western Plus, Lone Pine is a good choice for an overnight stay. A typical motel layout and very comfortable rooms. Nice swimming pool, although was a little cool even though supposedly heated. Lone Pine itself has a number of good eateries and an exceptional western film museum.
Although this was by far the least expensive hotel during my last trip, I had a wonderful stay here. I was upgraded to a spacious suite which I really appreciated. Staff is very nice and helpful, breakfast is awesome with a great selection (and it starts at 5:00 am which is great if you want to start hiking early), rooms are clean and quiet - what more can you ask for? I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!
I was en route from Los Angeles to Reno, and stopped overnight in Lone Pine. I chose the Frontier Motel at random, but it turned out that I chose very well! The room was comfortable and the amenities nice -- I decided to breakfast at the nearby Alabama Hills Cafe, which I recommend highly, rather than at the motel, but the breakfast on offer in the lobby looked pretty tasty too! My particular praise goes to the very helpful and friendly staff who checked me in. Lamonte was great, and full of suggestions about local spots to visit, but Margarita in particular was extremely good at her job, full of smiles that were quite welcome after a long drive and quick to help us find our room and to make sure everything was okay with it. It's good people like these that make a stop in an unfamiliar town memorable, and the Frontier Motel should be very proud to have Lamonte and Margarita on their staff. Thanks so much!
I've used Best Western hotels and motels for both business and pleasure over the years, some in the US, some back home in Europe. So booking a room at the motel in Lone Pine didn't seem too big a risk. I'd stopped the night prior to my arrival at a 4star hotel at LAX, so new the the Frontier Motel was going to be not quite so plush, but maybe a bit more friendly. And this was the case. The desk staff were always available to answer questions, give advice and generally make you feel at home. Breakfast was a surprise, I've stopped at other motels and breakfast is normally muffins and coffee. Here there was a selection of hot and cold food, good coffee, good orange juice and even a pancake machine. The room was clean & functional, you pay for what you get. My only criticism is the fact that there were gaps around the door that let a cold draft cool the room during the night. This led to spasmodic operation of the heater, which was not that quiet. That and jet lag led to a few sleepless nights. If I decide to head back that way then I'll definitely but the Frontier Motel at teh top of teh list of places to stay.
Nicer than the average motel. Layout of a single storey around a courtyard with dedicated parking spaces makes it easy to get to your room and helps quieten the road noise. Breakfast was also above average. Only issue was the walls are a little thin and we could keep hearing the people next to us coming and going.
Stayed here for 2 nights, would definitely stay again next time I'm in the area. The breakfast is great - bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, pancakes and extremely yummy cheese omelettes! The room was fairly large and clean, really comfortable bed and nice hot shower. Really good value for money.
We have stayed at this motel on one night stays about 3 or 4 times in the last year. The property is well maintained and works to maintain its BWPlus designation. It is a comfortable and safe place to hang your hat on the Highway 395 corridor. A plus for us in stopping in Lone Pine is that there are really good choices for a relaxing evening meal (Seasons for a steak or the neighboring carousel for Chinese). Don't be fooled by little Lone Pine, it is a hidden treasure on Hwy 395.
We recently spent 4 nights at this great motel. Our room was very comfortable. The staff was great and very friendly. Breakfast was very good and not just the usual stale items. We will stay here again.
We stayed here one night on our drive to Phoenix. Our room was Very Clean and Comfortable. The breakfast offerings were surprisingly good and the staff in the breakfast room were great. One thing travelers should be aware of before booking here is this hotel is on the edge of town. You would probably would not want to walk into town from here, but it is just a short drive. I would definitely stay here again.
Is a moderate grade hotel. But good, if you are expecting that grade, which I was. The room was clean and average. The staff was great. Breakfast was a bit smaller then other BW breakfasts. The pool I didnt use. There was no public hot tub. Lone Pine CA has one Main Drag, this is on it. Driving through I did see several Ma and Pa QUAINT motels, which I would have enjoyed more. But I wanted the "known" BW brand this trip. It was a satisfactory stay. I drove a rental sedan. But I saw many motorcycles, this location is a friendly for them. Meaning, the rooms have exterior doors so your bike can be right outside. Thank you BW!
Stayed here one night with my husband. Lone Pine is a sleepy little town, but we were very pleased with the accommodations at this motel. Room was small but very clean and had large bathroom. Even though this is old style motel with parking right outside your room, the room was very quiet; I didn't hear any outside activity! The place has a great view of Mt. Whitney and is very handy to the entrance to Death Valley.
We planned a trip over the spring break and were lucky to do so early. The hotels and hostels were full. Our hotel was clean and nice with a better than average breakfast. We asked for a quiet room and were given one away from the pool. Lovely view of the mountains...would stay here again.
This motel doesn't quite reach the standard of a ‘plus'. Our room had been recently renovated with new carpet, paint and a bathroom overhaul but it's still an old motel. Rusty hinges on the bathroom door, a huge room with a king bed with an older mattress, awkwardly placed furniture that left the room looking empty all gave a sense of an old lady with makeup and a wig. We paid $10 more for a ‘suite' but it didn't make the grade. Not worth it. The place is overpriced. The breakfast was well laid out and there was lots. The breakfast room had a good ambiance that was entirely missing from the bedroom.
Very nice place to stay really liked the breakfast there and the cook was very nice and pleasant and asked if we needed anything else. very good selection. Margarite the front desk gal was also very pleasant. I will be back again. Thank-you Best Western! Susan Albright, new boarder
This hotel is the best option when you choose to stay at Lone Pine. Spacy room and priceless view. Beds are very comfortable, it has regular hotel smell and we have our window and door open for a while. The weather is so nice, we do not even have AC on. Enjoy the view while having breakfast is the best experience during our death valley trip.
Here is a location we come and stay while we are out fishing the local area. We come to this motel due to they have a full breakfast from 5 am until 10 am, Swimming Pool, Fishing clean station, an exercise facilities if you need one, before you go to bed. WiFi . The rooms are clean and the staff treats you like family. I call it the Personal Touch of Kindness,
Great location, nice breakfast and amazing view. We would happily stay here again on our next trip to Death valley. Just a short drive down the road you'll find a great view of the stars anywhere along the side of the road.
For a motel in a small town (Lone Pine) I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very personable and my room was very clean and roomy......Other than that has been said I would highly recommend this motel
This was my fourth trip to Lone Pine and as usual, I stayed at the Best Western. The staff is always friendly and helpful. This time I was offered an upgraded room at no additional charge, as my booking room was not ready upon check in. What a bonus!!! I travel to Lone Pine 3-4 times a year on business and I will not stay anywhere else!
Nice little motel with mountain views. Inexpensive, clean rooms with decent breakfast. Staff members are friendly. Some decent food options for dinner in Lone Pine. It was refreshing to take a break here on a long drive to Mammoth lakes/ Lake Tahoe.
Well maintained and updated as best you can. The wall attached soap and shampoo dispensers in the shower kind of give the the true age, but how many little half filled bottles of shampoo do you want to leave behind? Staff very good. Breakfast is really very good for a motel breakfast - pancake machine!
We stayed here for a night while we were visiting the Death Valley region (which is about 45 minutes away or so). While this motel may appear to be a bit older/dated from the outside, the rooms appear to be renovated and very new (like what you would see in a new Best Western hotel in the city) and were fantastic! Great TV, the beds were extremely comfortable (good sleep quality), and they were extremely clean in every aspect! The staff was very friendly and helpful during the duration of our visit and the grounds/exterior of the motel were in good shape as well. The motel is also just a minute or two from the heart of Lone Pine and many food options in town. The views from the hotel were great as well! The Sierra Nevada and Mount Whitney make for a great view waking up in the morning! Also you are only about 45 minutes away from Death Valley and about an hour and a half from many of the attractions in the national park. Overall, it is a great hotel to use when visiting Death Valley and also just the region in general. I highly recommend this property!
I always enjoy staying here. Great staff, you can park in front of your room in an extra wide space, good breakfast and really nice, clean room and comfortable beds. I stayed in the Rita Hayward suite. Really nice. I would recommend this motel highly.
This is a wonderful little place where movie stars in the old westerns used to stay. Rooms are all redone and Rooms are named after famous movie stars, like John Wayne and pictures are of him in his movies on the wall. Very clean and free breakfast, very good. Swimming pool and hot tub. Visit where the old westerns were made. Best thing, dogs stay free.
We chose this motel for our Death Valley visit. While the drive to DV was quite long, the view of Eastern Sierra and Mt. Whitney made this location the best. The motel was reminiscent of the 50's-style motel, but very updated. Our first morning there brought us clear skies against the awesome snow-covered mountains - breath-taking for sure! The location was excellent and the room modernized and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing, with cheese omelets, seasoned potatoes, hot and cold cereals, pancakes, fruit, sausage, bacon, toast, bagels, coffee, juice, all available for an extended time from 5 to 10 am. When we checked in, we were assigned a numbered parking space adjacent to our room, making unloading and loading our car easier. Except for a slow-draining sink everything worked well. The heater worked well, albeit quite noisy. The staff was cordial and friendly, especially the breakfast staff. We were pleased with the value, location and comfort overall. Oh, and we liked Lone Pine. After two days of Death Valley, we chose to stay near town the third day to visit Manzanar, Alabama Hills and the Film Museum, all well worth the visit.
Large clean room, modern upgraded facility. Friendly staff, very comfortable king size bed, great breakfast area, well lit, secure, quiet grounds. Cant imagine staying anywhere else while in Lone Pine.
Loved the location, the town, and the hotel. Big rooms, clean, good Wi-fi, microwave, coffee maker, fridge and an enjoyable buffet breakfast. We drove into town and had a lovely meal in the evening. Stunning scenery. Just wished we had been able to stay longer.
From check-in to checkout this hotel had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Pro: within minutes to Chevron gas station; mainstreet area with restaurants, co-op market, sporting goods store, etc; visitor center, decent hot breakfast including egg/cheese omelet, sausages, bacon and the usual breads, drinks, pancakes, cereals, etc; two queen bed rooms have 2 sinks (yes!); clean; comfortable beds; quiet room heater (a-plus); friendly staff; and quiet rooms (did not hear neighbor). Bathroom has dispensers for wash soap, shampoo and conditioner (kudos to BW). Con: no ice in ice machine. But could be that others used up the ice that morning as we did insert our room key as required. I highly recommend this hotel due to the proximity to Alabama Hills, Manzanar, Cerra Gordo mining ghost town, and Death Valley. Beautiful view of the Eastern Sierras right across the street.
Just like going to see old friends, we got another great welcome at this Hotel. This hotel is in a good location on the outskirts of Lone Pine on US 395, it is very easy to find, because it is virtually the first building on the Right hand side, that you get to as you approach Lone Pine from the South, and you can't miss the sign. The whole hotel is very clean, there is plenty of parking which is in marked bays, the rooms are a good size, very clean and the beds are very comfortable. The complimentary breakfast is excellent with a good selection of food available. Fruit, Cereal, a range of different types of bread. Freshly cooked Bacon, Sausage, Eggs, Pancakes, Etc. Various Yoghurts, Fruit juice, Coffee and Fresh Milk. The staff in the breakfast area were also very friendly and very helpful. This hotel has a heated outdoor pool, a 24 Hour Gymnasium, and a guest laundry, it has added extra outdoor seating since our last visit, seats which have a good view of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and Mount Whitney, the highest peak (14,505 Feet) not only in California, but also the Continental USA. It is also a good location from which to explore the "Movie Flats" area, where a lot of famous films have been made. The list of famous film stars that have filmed in this area is very long. The hotel is located next to Lone Pine Airfield, you can't hear the aeroplanes but should you be able to "Fly In", there is a gate from the airfield directly to the hotel. If you walk around the hotel so that you can see the airfield, you will find the hotel rooms on that side of the hotel have the names on the doors of some of the famous film stars that have stayed there. Some of the famous people who have filmed in this area include Audie Murphy, Bebe Daniels, Humphry Bogart, Gary Cooper, Gene Autry, John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Gary Cooper, Clint Eastwood, even names like Bing Crosby, and more modern day starts like John Travolta, Kevin Bacon, Brad Pitt & Demi Moore have filmed in this area. The list goes on, ask at the front desk for directions to the Movie Flats area. You will also find the "Lone Pine Film Museum" has a lot of artefacts and historic items on view, and can also be helpful on where to go and what to look for. They even have Humphry Bogarts car from the film "High Sierra" on view. Well worth a visit. The WWll internment camp of "Manzanar" is just a few minutes drive further North along US 395, it is being restored to it's WWll condition, it is well worth a visit, and has a lot of history attached to it. There is a lot more information in the visitor centre. From the hotel there are various gas stations, drug stores, fast food outlets, cafe's, restaurants and a post office, that are all within 5 Minutes drive. My wife and I recommend this hotel and are already looking forward to our next stay.
Mt. Whitney is visible right across the street! Probably a 1930's motel remodeled as a Best Western. Small rooms and especially shower but tastefully done. Located just south of main part of Lone Pine. Great Value.
Clean and comfortable room. I enjoyed using the whirlpool tub after two days of hiking. Breakfast included cheese omelette, bacon, potatoes with dill and great muffins filled with lemon cream. The coffee was good and the even had cold brew brew coffee. There was an assortment of cereals, yogurt, toast, fruit and pancakes as well. Great view of Mt. Whitney right in front. Everything was very clean and beds were comfortable.
Passing through for the night and so glad we could get a room for the night. Hotel was booked months in advance ( a good sign) after weeks of checking back we were able to get in and it did not disappoint. Room was clean and staff was friendly and professional. Can't wait to visit this little town again, enjoy the scenery and good nights rest.
This is about THE best motel I've stayed in along Hwy 395/Eastern Sierra's.....and I've stayed in several. Nicely renovated rooms, very supportive/comfy bed, Xlnt TV and very good wi-fi. You won't be disappointed! Shower....yes they have soap and shampoo dispensers in the wall- looks odd at first but honestly, beats fumbling with tiny bar of soap and squeeze shampoo packet, 2 thumps up on this- plus a shower head that can be reached by a person of modest stature, nice.
Our Photography workshop stopped by for our visit to the Alabama Hills. We enjoyed our visit very much. The room was outstandingly clean and convenient. The breakfast was the best that I have had in a motel. Access to good food was excellent for a small town. I would highly recommend this place to my friends.
My fiancee and I stayed here for a night while on a 3-week road trip around California and the Southwestern United States. It is a great little motel in what we felt was a very picturesque part of California - the Owens Valley. B&B rates were very reasonable, and rooms were large and well appointed. We visited during the heatwave of late June 2017, so were glad there was a pool to cool down in! Easy access to the centre of town - 2 minute drive at most. Very much recommended if passing through, and seemed to be the best option in Lone Pine.
Stayed 1 night on way to death valley. The motel did not disappoint. Very clean room, large bathroom, which was very clean and great shower, water pressure. All staff were pleasant and friendly, helpful. The free breakfast was good and had a range of options beyond cereal and toast. All in all, great value and service! Would stay here again. Excellent pet friendly policies and pet area as well.
A welcome break after the drive through Death Valley. Comfortable rooms surrounding a small swimming pool. Good breakfast available on site and a short drive into town for dinner where there is a good selection of eateries. Take the time to drive into the hills to the west of Lone Pine which were used for many film shoots including Gunga Din. Fabulous remote Western scenery.
I'm sure this is hands-down the most popular and best place to stay in Lone Pine. We needed a room for the night close-ish to Death Valley, and this was probably much better than staying on the other side of the park. Good price for the room. Check-in was fairly standard, though I thought the gal could've been a little more cheery. When we got back we both had to use the business center, and she did try to fix the computer that wasn't working. Otherwise, I know there's not much to do when you're on an evening shift later than 8PM, but having "My 600lb life" on TLC blaring from her computer probably isn't the most professional thing. My room was very clean. Pillows could've been slightly better, but I never sleep well the first night in a hotel regardless. I was surprised at how spacious the room was, especially the bathroom. The room also had a fairly full DirecTV channel lineup which was a surprise. Almost all the rooms are exposed to Highway 395, but mine was set back far enough that noise was not a factor. Breakfast had a good variety of food and even another surprise that I had not seen before: an pancake machine! Food was standard hotel breakfast-nothing of exceptional quality, but gets you fed & full in the morning. The lady at checkout was much friendlier, greeting each guest as they went in & out of breakfast. Checkout itself was a breeze and we were back on the road early. Would stay here again for the same good price.
I was there for one night with my family (2 adults and my kids who are now 18 and 20 years old!) on our way to Death Valley from Los Angeles: we have enjoyed this place ! It's motel style with oversized room: in our room we had two good queen beds and a large sofa bed. Fridge, microwave, a large flat TV… Pros: - The oversized room is a plus when you are four persons in it ! And we had more space than needed in the room for all the luggage we have! - Internet was working well, even for streaming. - Clean. - Nice to park your car in front of your room! - Outside: lovely hotel setting and wonderful panoramic view on the mountain from the hotel. - Good breakfast included for hotel guests. Cons: - Not much to say except the breakfast room who is not big enough. - The reception is also small but it's not really important! You should also visit Lone Pine: his western style is fun to see.
The hotel was quaint and well situated in the town of lone pine, ca. The room was large and well appointed. The shower was great and internet worked well. We arrived after 10 pm and the hotel staff was there to check us in timely. Checkout was also timely and the breakfast in morning was extremely well put together with sausage, eggs, bacon, and pancakes.
Nice motel on the way from Las Vegas to San Francisco in the mountains. If you need to stay for a night on your road trip it is a good value of money and quality. There's all you need - wifi, parking, free breakfast. The air conditioner was loud, however as everywhere in US.
We always stay here when we come to Lone Pine. It's comfortable, quiet, has a great breakfast that you can enjoy as early as 5:00 which is great for travelers. The staff is top notch and when we had a check-in glitch, the staff kept working until everything was taken care of. We had a great stay here.
Very convenient and the parking is right infront of the room so its easy to take in your stuff. Room was clean. Breakfast menu could have been better. Location is close to scenic spots. Would love to visit here again.
This is the place you want to stay. Not, as I did, last week at the Comfort Inn. Go see the film museum, see "Alabama Hills". Enjoy "Seasons Restaurant" and "The Grill"...Don't push your way through...Stop and enjoy. Old fashioned by remodeled. Comfortable beds. Quiet. Toilets flush hard and fast, but not noticeable room to room.
Great value for money. Our family stayed here for 1 night, 2 large queen beds and lots of room for our luggage Highly recommend clean spacious rooms, free breakfast great. Staff very friendly and helpful
The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Our room was clean and met all our needs. The front desk personnel gave us dinner recommendations that we took and were impressed! The place was packed, which we realized the next morning. Even with all the people it was very quiet... just the way we like it!
We stayed here before we went to Death Valley. It's an excellent chance for us to visit Whitney Portal. The room is very clean with convenient appliance like microwave and refrigerator. Breakfast is included and with stuffs better than we expected.
We stayed here one night when heading to Death Valley. The breakfast was great and fresh. The rooms were well supplied and comfortable but given it was winter the tiles in the bathroom were like walking on a freezer floor. The biggest concern was that I felt the front desk staff on arrival and departure were not very enthusiastic and given we had just flown in 20 hours from Australia and others driven long distance they lacked any conversation. Given its a highway hotel and in a regional location I would have thought the staff would have been very friendly and informative of the local area and hotel.
Amazing time. Comfortable beds. Amazing breakfast. We had the view of Mt Whitney when walking out our door. The amentities in the reception area were great. They had frozen food to buy for the microwaves in the room.
Family and I were heading to L.A. for a vacation and booked here as it was close to our destination. Check in was quick and friendly. The room was nice, no complaints.The view of the mountains from the courtyard was amazing.
Dear Margarita, Thank you for the excellent customer service. You were very kind and were very happy. I really liked your sweet and nice attitude. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes hotels. Thanks Tayler, Adam and Patrick Ness
We have been coming here for years on our family trip to S. Lake Tahoe. Plenty of plugs and USB ports to charge electronics. Really good Wi-Fi, Clean rooms and Very comfy beds and pillows. The breakfast was delicious and just what we needed for the next leg of our road trip! We will definitely be back.
Traveling by Motorcycle from Death Valley I decided a trip to Mt Whitney was in order with a stopover in Lone Pine. This best western has a great view with a little lawn area you can sit and hang out. Parking is right outside the rooms, convenient for loading/unloading. Nice rooms and WI-FI. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast, also with a view. The only negative for me, no restaurants within walking distance.
Very reasonably priced and great value. Spacious immaculate rooms, internet, breakfast, etc. The staff is friendly and helpful. This is always where I stay in Lone Pine. Convenient location right on 395.
Very nice room, and the staff was helpful and pleasant. I loved the WI-Fi...it was very fast. Breakfast was good, but the day morning we went there...about 7AM, there were none of Best Western's great scrambled eggs...no big deal, and I suspect the first batch had been cleaned up, and they were preparing more. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful area. We will be back. Thanks you.
The Best Western Frontier has always been a good place to stay. Comfortable, great upgrades, convenient free breakfast and coffee, accommodating staff, good value for the price. if you're traveling in the Owens Valley, stay at the Frontier in Lone Pine.
Very easy check in, clean spacious rooms with easy access and great full breakfast. Stayed here many times and always pleased with my decision.. I would recommend this hotel to any of my friends... ??
Outstanding hotel with recent upgrades. Our room was at the back of the hotel away from the highway and was very quite. Very good hot / cold breakfast. Friendly staff and good restaurants 1/2 mile away in town.
From the time we entered the property EVERYONE was very courteous and helpful. The room was very clean and had a microwave,refrigerator and coffee maker. The breakfast was great with a large selection of items to choose from. Being early starters we appreciated the 5 AM start time for breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised to find that ALL items were ready at the 5 AM start time. Check in and out was a breeze.
We've stayed at this motel several times over the years and have always liked it, but now that the rooms have been updated we like it even more. The beds are very comfortable but the TV/Cable connection could be better. Some channels were really clear and some were pretty fuzzy.
On an organised tour with another 11 fellow photographers plus our bus driver we stayed here for three while doing some aviation photography up at Rainbow Canyon. I was not disappointed with the location or the accommodation. Only problem was my TV stopped working, no real worries as I don't watch much TV anyway.
Surprisingly pleasant stay in the small town of Lone Pine. The room was very spacious and decently decorated with comfortable beds. Wifi worked well and the breakfast area was inviting. Plus the motel is dog friendly!!
This great Best Western, overlooking the rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain range offers comfort and western history. Stay in the oversized rooms on their south side and room where many old western movie actors lived. A very enjoyable stay.
Great hotel to stay at in Lone Pine. Very convenient as a place to rest as you're driving the 395. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is great. And, it starts at 5AM, which is very welcome when you need to get back on the road. We stay here on our way from Baja to Alturas. It's just about midway and makes the drive comfortable.
Great location and amenities, especially if thou travel with pets. My Dals love it. Wake yup really early and enjoy magnificent views of the highest peak of the sierra Nevada, with mount Whitney clearly visible from the hotel. I highly recommend this place.
Everything about this hotel was great. It was a one-story hotel with parking directly in front of the rooms. The bed, bathroom and room in general were very nice and clean. The breakfast bar was fantastic. It had egg omelets, bacon, sausage, little red potatoes, all the usual cereals, breads, yogurt, muffins, etc and special toppings like chocolate chips, granola, etc. Everything was great.
We booked the standard 2 queen bed room and were very surprised at the size of the room. It was actually bigger than some of the "over-sized" rooms we have booked in the past. The hot breakfast was good, as usual. The bed was very comfortable.
The decor is wonderful; all about the old movie stars. They have great breakfast and all that you can eat. And while eating, you have a great view of the Sierras and Mt. Whitney. Make your reservation early in the summer because they fill up fast.
The hot breakfast was a nice surprise. This old motel has been spiffed up nicely and was clean. But it's still old, with small rooms, noisy doors, thin walls, and right on the highway. Pool looked inviting except it was very much in the open.
This was mostly a pit-stop on our roadtrip, but a very pleasant one! Very nice breakfast with an amazing view of the sunrise over the Eastern Sierras! Ordinary, but totally adequate room for the night. Nice pool. Lone Åine was a really nice town - would have liked to spend more time in the area.
Stayed at the Lone Pine BW while visiting Manzanar, Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery, Movie Museum and the Alabama Hills Mobius Arch trail in the area. Nice motel that plays up the frontier movie theme. Siri provided excellent driving instructions to the Mobius Arch trail which is accessible on a well maintained dirt road that was no problem for a Prius.
Good hotel. Nice view of the Sierras. Guest laundry was a plus, and the breakfast was more than adequate. Little bit of traffic noise if you are in front by the highway, but that is where the best views of Mt. Whitney are located.
I have stayed in others best western motels and this one was the worst one I've seen or stayed at. Never again will I stay there. The rug was worn out and the room needs some new paint. New curtains would help and new locks on doors
The room was comfortable and clean and we were happy with our 2 night stay. We particularly liked that car parking spaces are allocated to rooms which prevents the annoying situation of having to park miles from your room as happens at some motels. The location is a little way out of the town to the south. While totally professional. the staff (and in particular reception) were not as friendly as at other stops on our road trip, with the exception of the lady who served breakfast who was lovely, friendly and helpful. Breakfast itself was ok without being in any way special. Nevertheless a perfectly enjoyable 2 night stay at a fair price and we would happily stay here again if in the area.
Complimentary breakfast after a comfortable night's stay while admiring the breathtaking view from the breakfast room. Great, clean place to stay. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. We will return.
Great motel. Comfortable, well furnished/decorated large room, for a couple. Fast Internet. MUCH better than average Continental breakfast. Pet friendly. Excellent beds. Terrific view of the Sierra Mountain.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Room was very spacious and extremely clean. Bed was very comfortable. Staff were quite friendly and helpful. Includes a decent breakfast. The dining room has a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. Next time wer'e in the area this place will be our base....
Lone Pine is a convenient stop-over while we travel from Lake Tahoe to our home in Indian Wells Ca. Have stayed there for a number of years now. Always neat and clean. Good free breakfast. We select the extra-large western theme room with its comfortable sitting area and large TV.
This hotel is lovely. Unexpected for road travel. Has an air of gentility and deep comfort that was unsuspected. The breakfast was very ample and very tasty. Ambiance was lovely. The room was a suite and felt very home like. The grounds were pretty and well kept. It felt good to be here.
Great Hotel, which was very well located for our journey to Death Valley. Our room was very clean and tidy, with a bath/shower. TV, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities. A swimming pool, ice machine and a laundry also available to use, all you expect from Best Western. The gym was well equipped, with air conditioning, towels and water. Breakfast is included, which has a great selection on offer. We would definitely stay again.
This motel has everything that my husband and I like. The rooms are very clean. There is a good choice of food from a cooked breakfast to cereal and toast with a choice of small or large muffins and this is included in the price.
Good location, easy to find, great welcome from all the staff. Very clean & comfortable room, very comfortable bed. A wide selection of food at breakfast, fresh fruit, cereals & freshly cooked food & plenty of it. We would definitely recommend this hotel & we are looking forward to our next stay here.
Stayed here on our recent visit from Vegas to Yosemite. Upon arrival after dark & with no one else in line, the front desk lady informed me that she was busy and I would have to wait. While I'm OK with waiting a little while for no good reason, upon entering our room, there was a roach waiting for our arrival. Apparently, based on the color of the dirty carpet, a lot of roaches have been smashed in this entry area. Otherwise, the room was pretty clean considering it's age and the beds were OK. Weird though, our room had two entry doors, one on each end. The current entry appears to be from a former service alley area which was somewhat dark with tight parking for a larger SUV. The other door led to a small patio and you could see where the former parking used to be. While not as friendly or clean as I had hoped, there really are not a lot of lodging options in Lone Pine and this property would probably be considered "average" for the area. But, if we stay in Lone Pine again, it will try to find somewhere closer to the downtown area and restaurants, hopefully roach free.
Since BW is my preferred hotel chain, decided on BW Frontier for the last night of our trip on the way home. This property was older and seemed to have had recent renovations. Does not deserve the Plus designation. The bed was comfortable, however the pillows were for a smaller bed. The breakfast was lacking also. The bagels were mini bagels and had to dig out of the toaster when done. The layout of the room was also unusual. There were so many light switches that took time to figure out. The TV had poor reception quality that I did not report because of short stay. The attitudes of the staff was professional and friendly.
Great managed staff hotel with beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada. A great hotel when visiting on HWY 395. Close to Mt. Whitney and Alabama Hills. Enjoy staying at this hotel with its hospitable staff every time.
Best of the Best Westerns I have ever stayed at. The town was an old western movie town. The hotel was decorated with a lot of western memorbila. Beautiful pool great breakfast area. I will go back. YES!!!!
It's a solid option for Lone Pine. It is at the edge of town so it's not a convenient walk to restaurants but only a short drive. the room was a good size and clean with a very comfortable bed. Price was decent given that it was a Friday night and I made the reservation only a couple of days ahead of time.
We stopped here since we wanted to look the area over a little bit. The staff at night was a little gruff but the morning staff was great. Breakfast at first was a little bare but the server finally got some eggs and coffee out after 10 minutes. Don't know why it took so long. This BW is located at the south end of town so you have to drive to get something to eat. We had a leak in the room and the room was a little dated and needed some TLC.
It's a great place. The included breakfast was better than most, for sure. Eggs, pancakes, fruit, yogurt, coffee, cocoa. You name it. The last time I stayed there it was after a backpacking trip that finished at Mt. Whitney and Lone Pine. The next morning, enjoying a pre-dawn cup of coffee, the sun was coming up and just lit up Mt. Whitney and the local mountains. It was great. The only down side for me was that I was waiting for my ride home so the night before I had to walk into town. It was about 0.7 miles from the BW. Not far but I would've taken an Uber if available after a 70 mile backpacking trip. You understand. Are there more romantic places? Probably. This would be an excellent value with kids, especially including the breakfast, the cable, and the pool (in season). Give 'em a go. They have a warm and friendly staff as well.
Yes, this is a motel, but a very nice motel. Reception was friendly, room was clean, comfortable and HUGE, AC reasonably quiet and effective, Better than expected included breakfast was provided (with early starting hours for those wanting to hit the trails or road). Not luxury but no complaints. Would stay here again.
When we returned from hiking Mt. Whitney, we found a snake in our room. I had to kill it with my feet while my wife waited outside. We were exhausted from hiking and since all rooms were full in Lone Pine, we had no choice but to stay the night. We got little sleep as we were worried about more snakes.
Good hotel to stay in if traveling up Hwy 395 or exploring the Lone Pine / Big Pine / Manzanar area. Outdoor pool is nice to relax and swim with kids at end of day. Plus a nice lawn area with seats and tables to watch the sunset. Also an area to walk your dog. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Breakfast comes with your stay - try the pancake machine!
Spacious rooms with great ambience waits you after very friendly atmosphere at reception.Located on outskirts with great view of Mount whitney,as you get up in morning or at the time of sunset.Breakfast is delicious but the cutlery needs improvement.
We were very pleased with our room it was huge and spacious clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting outside on the grassed area watching the sun go down behind the beautiful mountains then went for a short 15 minute walk into town for dinner. We enjoyed our stay.
Our stay exceeded our expectations. Handicap room was spacious with a nice roll in shower. Beds extra comfy and the complimentary breakfast was a REAL breakfast with so many yummy choices. A generous window of time for breakfast and good coffee sent us on our way with the warm fuzzies for Best Western Frontier!!!.
My boyfriend and I stayed one night over the weekend, and the motel was great besides a few overseen housekeeping hiccups and a bad signal on the TV. Parking is steps from the room, the AC worked great, the room was quiet (I requested a quiet room, which they accommodate if they can help it), and the beds were extremely comfortable. We didn't try the free continental breakfast in the morning, as we wanted to go to the Alabama Hills Cafe instead. The price was a bit high for a motel, but I get that as there are only 7-8 places to stay in Lone Pine.... many of which were sold out the night we came. I'm not sure what others mean when they say it's not close to town. I'd say it's less than a mile away, with the Film History Museum being less than a block away :) Everything is super close. I would stay here again. P.S. They offer basic amenities like hand soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner... but they didn't have lotion, Q-Tips, or a hair cap. I didn't request these either, as I brought my own. They may offer these on request though!
Room was clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable. And the breakfast we free and hardy. What more could you ask for?! There was a pool and Jacuzzi which we did not use, but it looked nice as well. We stayed the night before our big Mt Whitney hike and fueled up with the free breakfast before our hike. Breakfast started at 5AM so it was perfect for us! Wish we stayed an extra night after the hike to take advantage of the Jacuzzi. Next time!
Arrived late, and was greeted by friendly receptionist who let us know all the available facilities, and shown where the room was on a map. Access is not internal to the building, but the site felt secure and out of the way. Bedroom had all the usual amenities that are expected in an American hotel/motel including fridge, wifi. Breakfast was great and again staff were attentive, although I'll never get used to eating off disposable paper/polystyrene plates, which seems to be the norm for America. On waking up, the view was amazing as the hotel is surrounded by mountains. There is also an outdoor swimming pool featuring great views, and a lawn area with tables and chairs. The only thing I could possibly fault was that the room had a small window to the back with no curtain, which made a full blackout impossible to achieve.
I am going to be honest, we arrived at the motel after dark and the light in the sign was out. We started to second guess our choice, even though we had referenced Trip Advisor before booking. The lobby was nice, so we proceeded to check in. Our room was very large, which is always nice, especially because there are 5 of us. We had a room right next to the laundry, which was convenient for us. The bathroom was pretty basic but clean. The next morning, we got a good look at the motel in the light and it was very cute. There were great cacti made out of horseshoes out front. Being from Maine, we don't see things like that often. Breakfast was a standard extended continental. The breakfast room was on the small side and busy, but just down the hall was an additional dining room that was empty and had coffee set up. The staff was friendly. There was an outdoor pool but we didn't use it. I would recommend this motel for families.
Based on Tripadvisor ratings booked a 2 bedded room for 2 nights 10-12 September. Check-in was quick and soon in our room after 10 hours on the road through Death Valley from Las Vegas. Initial impressions were mixed, bathroom had seen better days and carpet seemed worn and had a few stains. Sleep was disturbed by what seemed to be a snoring guest in the next room but found to be the fridge in the bedroom! Breakfast was very mediocre and chaotic in a small room too small for the number of guests. Cardboard plates and cheap plastic cutlery completed the cheap and nasty impression. Location of the Motel was 20 minutes walk from restaurants and bars in Lone Pine along the busy 395 with no sidewalk most of the way and no street lighting. In retrospect a hotel in Lone Pine itself e.g. Dow Villa would have been a much better bet and probably of much better quality. Lone Pine itself is a good stop between Death Valley and Yosemite with a stunning backdrop of Mount Whitney and the Eastern Sierras.
Lovely big room, massive beds, loads of towels. Most importantly special thanks to margarita who drove to lone pine to pick us up from the bar - amazing customer service. 15 man walk from lone pine and the film museum
This time also had an excellent overnight stay. The rooms are spacious and clean with lovely beds. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You can have a nice breakfast with plenty of choice to start the day. If we come back to this area, we will definitely stay here again.
A giant thank you to all the staff at the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel in Lone Pine, CA! Our experience was fabulous. All of the staff were extremely friendly & helpful. Keep up the great work! Will be staying again in the future!
Stayed before hiking up Mt. Whitney. Rooms were quiet, comfortable, well appointed. I had an end unit and it was super quiet. Did not hear a peep from neighbors. Room had a mini fridge and a mini microwave. Two sinks, comfy beds. Clean as a whistle. The only thing I can note that was not great was the very loud air conditioning unit. Very loud. Will go back again.
Expect the typical Best Western experience: consistently safe, clean, hospitable, exceptional staff. ;lkjsdl;fkjas;ldkfj asldkjfas;ldkfj sdlkfj ;asldkfja;lsdkfj ;alsdkfjsa;ldkfj asd;lfkjsldkf dsslkjdsflkjs s dlksdkljfsd f
We stay here when we are coming from fishing and do not want to drive in to LA at 4:00pm. The motel is of the old style but the rooms have been updated. There are rooms like the Roy Rogers and Gene Autry, they are large with couch. The free breakfast is very good, eggs with cheese fold into the center. The have push button pancake maker, easy to use and good.
I was shown more hospitality and generosity here than I ever received anywhere else. Well done, Best Western Lone Pine! The entire staff was so attentive and helpful when I need directions to work the laundry machines and finding a good place to eat. Moreover, I was sincerely touched by the staff's graciousness and generosity when one employee, Margarita Arellano, kindly helped me arrange my transportation from Lone Pine to Bishop. I'll always remember her amazing and authentic customer service. She didn't hesitate to stay a little late after her shift to run to the bank to ensure that I could pay my driver the following morning. Thank you, thank you Margarita! You set the bar very high for any staff member here or any other hotel. Thank you for extending all the hospitality to me. Wonderful hotel, and would definitely stay here the next time I'm in the Eastern Sierras!
Perfect setting with gorgeous view of Mt Whitney. Clean spacious room. Breakfast was very good in the morning and a smiling efficient attendant was on top of everything to make sure all was available, refilled when needed and tables clean for guests.
I stayed here the night I finished the Mt Whitney hike. It was so nice to have a warm shower and a comfy bed to rest and recoup from the hike. The breakfast wasn't great but the service was good and the location can't be beat.
Lovely pool. Styled like old time motels. You can park near the rooms. Very convenient to tour Mt. Whitney and a lovely view of the Alabama Mountains. Near town of Lone Pine and the western museum. Some interesting rocky countryside where many western films were done.
Great old style motor court hotel with the pool in the middle. Decent breakfast with a good size breakfast room with extra seating. Friendly front desk staff and maintenance staff as well. Rooms clean except for the many large stains in the carpet. Good option in Lone Pine.
Stayed here for 1 night after staying at the Majestic in Yosemite to break up the drive back to LA. I don't normally stay in roadside motels (i went from this motel to the Beverly Hills Hotel) Was very impressed The best thing was the cleanliness and condition of the room. Amazingly clean. A credit to management. Great little town - have a drink at Jakes Bar.
This motel has a beautiful view of the Sierra Nevadas. The accommodations, from rhe clean and beautifully appointed room to the friendly staff and excellent breakfast was outstanding. Plus, this motel is dog friendly! Can't wait to stay again.
Love this hotel. when I go hiking I like the fact that is one level and I don't have to go up and down with my hiking gear at ungodly hours in the morning - In my last stay I left a few personal and dear items to me. I called the hotel and they told me I could pick them up on my way down....they truly save my day. Thanks
I was not there. The reservation was cancelled and I was charged for one night regardless. I need reimbursement of $134. I spoke to Lupita over the weekend and she confirmed that she was the one that cancelled my reservation, but someone an additional day did not get cancelled and therefore charged to my account. I have reported this charge to my bank. Please return my call with a resollution. 949-324-6992
Hotel upkeep poor. Hotel staff average to mediocre. Pool filthy. Water pressure poor. Room cleanliness below average to poor. If you can find a better deal in Lone Pine or within 25 miles, grab it. Am continuing to write so that I can get to the two hundred character minimum -- this kind of nonsense is the kind of crap you generally have to put up with best western IT services -- they just don't understand what it means to put together a nice hospitable service blahdy blahdy blah.
Clean. Neat. Roomy. Perfect chair with ottoman for my honey to nap after a long day of driving. A desk and proper chair. Good lighting. Bathroom well laid out. Reception pleasant. Across the street view of Mount Whitney. Easy access to the road to seeing Whitney closer up. Not too far from Manzanar and restaurants. Free breakfast right here
Visited here in August on route to visit Death Valley etc. Our room was spacious and spotless. 2 large beds - more than enough space for the 3 of us. Came equipped with fridge, microwave, tv & hairdryer. Good breakfast the next morning. Loved the ice vending machines. Only complaint would be that the AC was extremely noisy and difficult to sleep. Beds were comfy.
The hotel was old but very clean. I thought it was over priced. Location was good. This is all I have to say. I can't write anymore. How long do you want me to string this out? I want to help but you are asking too much. If I have to write anymore it won't be good
Twice my hiking buddies and I have stayed at the Lone BW both before and after trekking up Mt Whitney. Superb comfort, great breakfast, pool, and accommodating staff! Flexible hours, easy access, quiet and well-maintained as well!
This hotel is great. Spacious and clean room, super friendly staff and the heated by solar pannels swimming pool with incredible view. Breakfast buffet with hot pancakes and full American breakfast. Love the place
Had a last minute additional person in our group and the hotel changed our reservation for us so that everyone had a ultra comfortable room/bed. The pool was awesome after a long day driving. The breakfast in the morning was fresh, hot and delicious. Something for every appetite. Breakfast area was clean and comfortable. My husband wants to live there. I am not joking.
On the outskirts of Lone Pine next to the fortunately not busy airport. Check-in was slow, room smelled a little funky and there was an unattractive stain in the middle of the carpet. A/C worked, Wi-Fi slow. Breakfast room was filled with burnt toast smoke so we ate elsewhere. Not sure it was worth a repeat visit.
Really enjoyed our stay here as a base camp for our Mt. Whitney climb. The rooms and beds are clean and comfortable and the place is well maintained. Good breakfast and a hard-working and pleasant staff!
What can I say about the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel?! So, let's start by saying that I stayed in 3 different rooms. A King room, a Two Queen Deluxe Room, and a Two Queen Room. All of them were fine but, the Two Queen Deluxe Room (I believe our room was called the “Susan Hayward” Room) was easily the best!! Big, super comfortable, large bathroom and a sitting area too. Definitely the choice I would make when I go back!! And go back, I will! I've stayed at the other hotel at this end of town and I have to say, for less money, the Best Western was way nicer. Check-in was fast and friendly, the rooms (all of them) were very clean, the beds were comfortable. Everything worked, the wifi was fine, I mean, this is a Best Western but it's a solid 3.5 stars. And the views of the Eastern Sierras are just amazing. You could lay by the heated pool and just take in the view if that were your thing. Check out was also super quick. You can tell they put a lot of thought and effort into the property. There's even some art work around and rose bushes that are well kept and really just make the hotel feel like someone truly cares about making it nice. And I truly want to say a special thank you to the lady who was working the front desk the night of 8/17! We had gotten back from a long day of hiking Mount Whitney and we were just too tired to drive all the way to Mammoth Lakes (where we had a reservation through Airbnb), so, she managed to find us a last minute room! I've never been so happy to have a room at a Best Western in my life! If I had one "want" it's that they would add a hot tub to their pool area. That would've been great after a long day of hiking! Looking forward to our next Lone Pine adventure, and the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel will absolutely by our #1 choice!!
Nice place with helpful staff, pool with sun and shade, if the sun was too much. Breakfast of bacon, sausage, eggs, breads, fruits, pancakes, yogurts, etc. were comprehensive and tasty. We would have liked to stay longer.
Lone Pine is a beautiful place, we looked out of our door and we were surrounded by mountains and dragonflies. The front desk was very helpful and gave us ideas of where to eat. Breakfast was included which is a bonus. The bathroom had a huge whirlpool bath and a rotating showerhead which caused a smile. The only problem we had was a safe in the room would be great for passports etc.
Room was great! Pool was perfect. Service was friendly and prompt. This was a very busy place and the breakfast servers were kind and busy the entire time. Loved the view of Mt. Whitney directly across the highway from our building!
Checked in here at 11 pm and on a whim asked for an extra night and was hooked up on the spot, awesome. Great location just a tad south of Lone Pine. Room was super clean, comfy king size bed, hot shower, nice pool and the workers were great. Complimentary hot breakfast was a great bonus, it was delicious Luce!! And of course, great views of the mountains.
Room was not up to par for a Best Western Plus. Once upon a time, it probably was fantastic, but those days are gone, and it really needs some upgrading. The area where the hotel is located is south end of town and IS quiet, considering the highway is right out front. The grounds are clean as are the rooms, but a remodel is needed. Staff is attentive to customers needs.
Conveniently placed on the main street, hotel is quiet. Good beds, but airco can be very noisy. Breakfast is standard norms for this type of place. Second dining room is not very nice. Fitness is quite basic. Friendly service. Nice view on the Sierra on the morning.
We pulled up here in the mid-afternoon, and luckily got a King room for the night. Each room has a parking space assigned to it. This is a large property, and nicely laid out. Patricia was the clerk who checked us in, and she was very personable, friendly, and helpful. Clerks at check-out were very friendly, too. Our room was near the office and pool, but it was not noisy. The AC worked very well. The room refrigerator was noisy in a rhythmic way that did not bother us once we were asleep. Breakfast was very good, and large enough to accommodate guests. This was really nice, and if you are anywhere near Lone Pine, it would be a good place to make a reservation and know you have a nice room at the end of the day.
Stayed for one night on 5th July as a stopover after spending the day in Death Valley. Lovely little place, really good feel about it, small and friendly. Got chatting to 'regulars' around the pool. Room great, everything included such as wifi, fridge, microwave and flat panel tv. Two really comfy Queen beds, quiet, got a good sleep - beds comfy. Lovely eating the complementary breakfast outside with a view of Mt Whitney. Views from the hotel amazing. We drove into Lone Pine for a quick feed, found this pizza place with the biggest pizzas I've ever seen. (Pizza Factory I think). Not much in the town but has the basics such as a general store and a few eating establishments and bars. Would stay again.
Stayed one night on our way from Death Valley to Yosemite - great little motel, clean and spacious rooms and friendly staff, good value for money. Would highly recommend. Didn't use the pool but it looked nice.
Average hotel in a great location. Unfortunately, breakfast services were understaffed on a crowded weekend resulting in long waits for food and coffee. Property is conveniently located on I-395 but may be problematic for light sleepers depending on room location.
The hotel is in decent shape and the rooms/beds were comfortable. The "deluxe" rooms, named for movie stars, were pretty spacious. The single rooms were pretty darn small. The pool area does not have a hot tub, which would have been nice after a long day of hiking. Probably the highlight of the hotel was the breakfast. It was a complete breakfast, with eggs, bacon/sausage, pancakes, and all the other usual hotel breakfast standards. The staff was very helpful and accommodating.
After a long day of driving we arrived in Lone Pine. Pleasantly surprised to find this little gem of a motel at a budget price. Old school that has been kept current and clean. Highly recommend staying here. Nice folks.
The motel was a little south of town which meant faster traffic and more street noise from large trucks ... Plus we had to drive into town for our meals instead of walking. The motel is clean but we fought with ants on the room they put us in the last night. We could not get one room for two nights so that was a negative to have to change rooms and register a second time. The rates were different and I thought they should be the same. Rug surely needed cleaning but it was tolerable. Lone Pine is a small town and used by hikers, truckers, campers and transient. There are several motels and Best Western is one of the three I would stay at from prior experience. The employees are nice, helpful and accommodating.
Very comfortable hotel room with all the amenities needed for one night's stay. Spacious room for two adults and a teenager who was delighted with the internet connectivity! Our night included breakfast with an early start time. Excellent and plentiful amount of food. Helpful staff on arrival and able to answer any of our questions about our onward travel through Death Valley. Plenty of eateries in Lone Pine to choose from.
We were expecting a mid to low range quality hotel. Our room was fantastic. Clean, nice, smelled good, big bed, nice bathroom, nice furniture.Really good value. Our AC worked great! Highly recommend the Smokehouse down the street for lunch/dinner.
We used to stay at another hotel in Lone Pine but decided to try the BW, even though we had to drive to town to get dinner. Clean room, quiet location. Nice pool although we didn't go. Eggs and potatoes for breakfast. I wish they'd offer eggs without cheese though. We'll definitely stay at BW in Lone Pine on our next trip.
We stayed here for 1 night before heading back to Las Vegas. We had the Roy Rogers room. It was a nice comfortable room. We had been on a 12 day road trip and wanted to do laundry before heading back to Las Vegas for our flight home. We came back from eating and checked out the laundry room. Only one of the 2 washers were operational. I went to the room to get my laundry and by the time I got back the working washer was being used. It showed about 28 minutes left on the wash cycle so I checked back later. The wash cycle was complete but the clothing had not been removed. I checked back several times during the next 30 minutes but the clothing was still sitting in the washer. I called the front desk and they said there was a laundry room located on the other side of the motel complex. We got in our car and went around to it. It also only had 1 of the 2 washers operational and that one was being used. We went back and checked the other again and the clothing was still sitting in there. I can't believe people can be so inconsiderate of others. There are no signs telling people to remove their laundry promptly and the front desk did not offer to clear the washer. I finally asked for the location of a Laundromat in town. That was a lot of fun spending our time sitting in a Laundromat but it was better that sitting around waiting for an INCONSIDERATE !!!!! to come back to remove their clothes. On a positive note their free breakfast runs from 5 AM to 10 AM. It was a small area and we expected a big crowd. We were pleasantly surprised. There were only a few people and everything was well stocked. We enjoyed our stay with the exception of the laundry situation.
I've visited Best Western's throughout the United States and this was by far the best experience. Thanks to the entire team! You guys rock and you all have demonstrated excellence in customer service and exceeded my expectations.
This is our favorite over night stop on our way to San Felipe, Mexico. We usually stay 3 to 4 times a year. The rooms are always clean and cozy. The full breakfast is excellent and you always run into people from all corners of the world. The reception staff can be a bit snarky and rude. Oh well we usually check in mid evening. Maybe they have rough afternoons. Morning staff is a bit more friendly. I wouldn't decline staying based on staff attitude. Why let someones bad mod ruin yours Right?
location is 1/2 way point for our family meeting. Motel would be perfect if it had a little restaurant with GOOD food which is lacking in town. With many large trucks parked in spaces, it is getting hard for a vehicle to get passed them.
The hotel was clean, modern and comfortable. The clerk at check-in recommended a great restaurant (Seasons) for dinner. The best part was the motel's location with picnic tables and pool views of Mt.Whitney and the Eastern Sierras. We walked out of our room first thing in the morning (in pajamas!) to take photos of the mountains with the sun rising on them. Great location close to "downtown" but on the outskirts enough to preserve those views. Wonderful!
We stayed here for a 1 night stop over whilst travelling from Yosemite to Las Vegas and found it to be a decent, clean, modern hotel. The staff were friendly and polite, the pool area was clean with fresh towels provided and the rooms were comfortable and modern. Each individual room had an allocated parking bay, so parking was convenient and easy. The breakfast was an excellent buffet style that catered for everyone. However we did not have a comfortable night here as it was mosquito central and we were fresh mosi-meat. So I would strongly recommend taking mosquito repellant with you if you are staying here.
Well located motel as we travelled from Death Valley to Yosemite. Motel room was very clean although a little dated in decor. Room had everything we needed though. Breakfast was included in the price. Staff very friendly. Would recommend staying here if travelling up the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevada.
A/C did not work correctly. Was 107 outside and about 89 inside despite the a/c. A/C is wall unit but place way back next to bathroom; doesnt cool main bed room area. Design layout really BAD. Bed was comfortable enough but the pillows are those huge truck-tire pillows completely unusable to put your head on. They "look" good when stacked on bed; but not useable for sleeping.
This place is a great place to stay, and close to a lot of places to explore with beautiful surroundings. I have stay her many times and have never been disappointed. I had forgotten some personal items behind on my last trip, and called them and they were very accommodating, and mailed them to me, Thank you
Nice but simple hotel on our way to Mammoth lakes. We don't need more. Large and tidy rooms, breakfast included and very close to the village center. Swimming pool was very welcome too. Good address for a one night stop.
Good location. But ants found in the room and on the bed in the morning. If not for this problem it would have been a much better review. Also feel this hotel is a bit overpriced for the type of hotel.
If you are visiting Death Valley or Yosemite please stop in Lone Pine and stay at the Best Western Frontier.Mt. Whitney is beautiful and the hotel has everything you need to be comfortable. The breakfast is good, the staff is friendly, and the view is unbeatable. It's an older hotel that has been renovated over the years, but great for families. I would recommend this place to all.Make sure to visit the Whitney portals and for History enthusiasts, Manzanar is 15 miles north.
My family always enjoys staying at the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel to round out our backpacking adventures in the Eastern Sierra. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff and a nice breakfast bar keep us coming back.
Everything was perfect.Breakfast,internet,location and comfort were excellent. Perfect place for those who plan to hike Whitney.Death Valley, Mono and Mammoth lakes are easy to get around from here.Dont miss out on Alabama hills :)
Stopped off on way from Vegas to Yosemite for one night. We had an accessable room, which was very well done. The wet room shower area was well thought out. We did find it odd the hand wash was in the main bedroom but may not have been room in the bathroom for this. The breakfast was included and included everything you could think of as an option for a good breakfast. Nicely located, easy to get in and out. The staff were very helpful and considerate. The views from the hotel of the mountains were amazing.
Had stayed hear 18 years ago and allways said we would like to explore, so we stopped off on the way to Yosemite. Reception area and outside look good with one car space per room. Room with queen bed and full bath with over shower. Bathroom seemed recent update but room itself was typical motel, good for night or two but small for a longer stay. Small swimming pool outside shielded from road. A good place to explore from but there are other hotels in Lone Pine which maybe better or not.
We only stayed a night here on our way south but we were immediately impressed that we were given a room before 2pm even Hough check in time was 3pm. The receptionist appreciated that we had left Vegas early to get through Death Valley before it got too hot. The room was good, the bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. There is an on-site laundry which is always good news, and it was quite cheap too. Full breakfast was provided - eggs, sausages, bacon, the works. The only thing that wasn't quite right was the bathroom, it was absolutely tiny. The bedroom was more than big enough so it was strange that they didn't design the units a bit better. The shower was so small that you wouldn't have been able to clean your feet. It was a good place though, with a fabulous view of the snow covered mountains which seemed a bit weird when the temperature at Lone Pine was so hot.
The AC worked great, the pool was fab with guest towels poolside even, and the room comfortable and clean. Staff were helpful and courteous. We greatly appreciated that it is a single level motel. A very nice overnite stay while travelling homeward bound.
When we stayed here the afternoon temperature was about 45 degrees C. The walk into town was very hot. The pool was wonderful on our return. The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast okay but plastic KFS & paper plates.
Motel was comfortable in hot weather, breakfast was good, and the staff were excellent. The a/c worked well, but its fan was noisy and too breezy on its lowest fan setting. The laundry worked well, but the low setting on the drier seemed to produce warmer drying than I preferred. Didn't hurt any clothes, though.
We took advantage of the Motel's good location right in front of Death Valley. Rooms are pretty modern and spacious and prices include a very solid breakfast. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful as well.
Hubby and I stayed here to hike the mountain for our 25th wedding anniversary. We were surprised that the rooms were so nice because the outside of the hotel is rather dated. Everything was clean and those beds were awesome.
Very nice motel excellent breakfast, nice pool close to Movie Museum, which is main purpose of our stay in Lone Pine. Also near Alabama Hills where many old Westerns were filmed. I highly recommend the Best Western- Plus Frontier Motel.
We stayed there on the way to Lake Tahoe from Phoenix. We were pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness and comfort of the room. Very welcoming. We stayed in the Gene Autry room. Lots of memorabilia with photos of Gene Autry. Lone Pine has been a town with a history of filming mostly western movies and tv series.
Fair considering the location. Coffin-sized shower. Old bathroom and fixtures. Breakfast good but crowded at peak breakfast time. Good location. Close to Whitney Portal. An hour drive to Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. Met our needs but not up to Best Western standards.
We always stay at BW and know we will have a clean, comfortable room. The points are nice we had three free nights w/our points! How cool is that! Made our Stay at Best Western Mammoth & BW Verdi affordable!!
what a great place! staff is great owner is great its a place away from home.we have been staying here since 2014 for work in this area. From day 1 they were ontop of their game.we have had at least 11 different employees stay here and they all enjoy this bestwestern. they keep this place clean and friendly. price is always fair. breakfast is worth eathing! real food nobad breakfast you have a question on surrounding areas they have an answer.
Wonderful place to stay. They offer free breakfast, not just muffins but a full breakfast! When the front dining is full there is another room to eat at, in the back or if you prefer, tables are outside in a comfortable setting. There is a swimming pool, laundry room, drink machines in several places. The parking lot stalls have the room number, close to your room, so you always have a place to park. Very courteous staff. Thanks for such awesome Place to stay!
Clean, cozy, friendly environment. Great breakfast, pool, local attractions and views (especially of both the sunrise and sunset over Mt. Whitney). My husband and I had stayed with Hilton, Travel Lodge and a Motel 8 on our trip, but it was Best Western that left the best lasting impression. When we go on vacation again, we want to book with Best Western locations only.
The Best Western is one of the best options in Lone Pine for access to Whitney Portal and other Sierras destinations. It is not in the town of Lone Pine so requires driving to get to a restaurant for dinner.
Looking for a dog friendly option. Best Western allows dogs their rooms are comfortable and the breakfast sufficient. This one was located in a prime location on our way to Death Valley.. The only disappointment was there were no restaurant options within walking distance, but there were plenty in the town only about two miles away.
we could not fault this best western hotel the place was very clean the staff where very helpful ,the location was great the rooms where very clean , parking was very good . we had traveled from Las Vegas and this was a excellent stop over for us
Glad we chose this motel. Only needed one night of stay. We went to the concert in the rocks in Alabama Hills. We were impressed with the cleanliness and also the friendly staff. Beautiful view of Mt Whitney and the Sierra range.
This is one of the most beautiful Best Western I have every been in.The views out your door are breathtaking. For the older couple the area is perfect because it has movie road which is a area that did many of the cowboy series,like hoppalong cassidy,Lone ranger series,and roy rogers series. The town of Lone pine is lined with older building and has that old west feel.For rock climbers you can get to Mt Whitney from this town.Down 395 not far away is a World War 2 intermitent camp where the Japanese were kept in from the beginning of the war,to the end.My husband is a Vet from the Vietnam era,and my father was WW2 in the pacific,so we found it a must visit. If you like fishing the area is great.It is in the eastern Sierra mountain range,which give you access to Death Valley
This place was an excellent place to just sit back and enjoy the weekend. The rooms are huge and the grounds are kept in tip top condition. The breakfast was exactly what you needed to get the day going and the staff was super helpful and friendly. The a several cool little sitting areas out on the grounds where you can sit in the shade and enjoy a conversation with your friends while viewing Mt. Whitney. I'd stay again anytime.
Very clean, friendly staff..our favorite was the decor of the room and the courtyard. Enjoyed the free breakfast. delicious, fresh and the variety of choices to choose from. great location. enjoyed swimming in the clean and refreshing pool
This was recommended by trip advisor forum and we are so grateful! Very nice family friendly motel a minute or 2 drive into lone pine where there are some good restaurants. The room was spacious and clean and there are self serving laundry facilities and breakfast included. There's also a little pool which we didn't use and some outside picnic areas too. The views to the mountains are gorgeous. This was a great stop over and I would recommend.
Arrived after dark. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Room spacious, clean and quiet. Left room in morning to be met by the amazing view of snow-capped mountains we'd missed the night before. Breakfast nothing to write home about. All in all very comfortable stay.
Stayed here with my wife and son for 2 nights. Room with 2 queens was spacious. Has MW and fridge. Very clean and reasonably priced. Nice breakfast and coffee included to include eggs, pancakes , sausage, bacon. Items in room were generally in good repair except the fan in restroom was exceptionally noisy. I would not be reluctant to stay there again
Reception staff friendly and efficient. Location with a great view of the Sierra Nevada. Room was comfortable and clean. Complimentary breakfast for limited but adequate. Conveniently located on main route through Lone Pine with access to amenities and restaurants.
This is an excellent place to stay on the way to/from Death Valley. The hotel has great staff, nice and clean rooms, a good breakfast. It gives access to Mount Whitney, Movie Road and Alabama Hills. All great places to visit.
Get up at sunrise and rush outside to see the rosy glow of the sunrise on the Sierra Nevada range with Mt. Whitney dominating against the clear blue sky. You will be thrilled! Then, back in your room for the included coffee or tea, check your email with the free wifi, and head down to the breakfast room for one of the best "included" breakfasts on your trip. Not only do they have a really wide variety of foods from which to choose, they provide it all with a friendly and attentive staff who make you feel welcome. I saw the attendant bring out and graciously serve extra bananas when a patron asked. You can take your time and enjoy your meal. Then, off to the many incredible places to visit nearby: Manzanar, Mt. Whitney portal, Death Valley, Keeler, the Alabama Hills, Diaz Lake, and incredible camera shots in every direction. Dinner places of all kinds are minutes away in Lone Pine and a very comfortable bed and room await you at the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel in Lone Pine, CA!
All the basics are covered wi-fi, toiletries, luggage rack, iron/board, breakfast, in-room coffee, TV, pool etc. I am most grateful that rooms are all ground floor, no stairs to negotiate especially when tired and in some pain.
We were traveling from Yosemite to Death Valley and this was recommended to us. We usually have good luck with Best Western's. I have to say it was clean and modern looking but we had a room with a bathroom that was for a handicap person and it was so inadequate for our needs. Nowhere to put our things, lots of wasted space. And although the bathroom was for a handicap person, the room was so small that I could not imagine a person in say, a wheelchair, getting through the door and into the bathroom. There was a full breakfast but it was adequate...everything to make your glucose level rise an hour after breakfast!!!! Also, when we asked the staff about Death Valley, no one could tell us anything. Thought that was strange, since it is in the area. Would I stay again? Based not the other hotels/motels in the area....yes. But I would ask for a different room.
This is a great place to stay on the way to/from Death Valley. The hotel has great staff, clean rooms, a good breakfast and a pool. It gives access to Mount Whitney, the Movie Museum and Movie Road. All great places to visit.
The motel looks dated on the outside, but was very clean and comfortable. Front desk (Leigh) was great to work with. She was friendly and very efficient. The breakfast was ample with a good variety for any appetite.
We wanted to see the East Side of the Sierras and Death Valley. We have a small plane and like to mountain bike. The hotel was perfect for this as it is walking distance to the airport tie down area and walking or biking its only a few minutes into downtown from there. We went hopped over to Valley on a day trip and that worked out well, especially since it was spring break and the facilities in the Valley were crammed with people. (driving time to Furnace Creek is 2 hours) Overall, the hotel is basic, no frills, but rooms were spacious and clean, breakfast good, staff was friendly. One minor complaint...the hot water in the shower was truly hot and also very cold without warning. The pool area was a nice place to relax in the afternoon.
As snowbirds we travel between SoCal and NE WA. This motel is always our first nights stop. We travel with our pet and they are pet friendly. The room is always fresh and the beds are comfy. It meets our needs and it is a clean abd quiet place to stay after a long days drive. Breakfast has a good selection and adequate to get us going for the day. The views of the surrounding area are spectacular anytime of the year since you're at the foot of the Sierras and Mt. Whitney.
I have stayed here 4 or 5 times now, it is very consistent and great. A few things I would recommend, choose a room facing the airport side, it is a better view and you can back your car up right to the door of your room. Also, if the front room for breakfast is crowded check the back room down the hall, it is big and quiet. And pick a room far from the road to avoid some traffic noise, there are quiet a few large truck driving by.
This is an excellent hotel located on a travel itinerary which includes Death Valley or enroute to Mammoth Mountain. The rooms are spacious, the breakfast complete, and the pool refreshing. A good experience.
My husband and I stayed for one night at Lone Pine on our honeymoon. We picked the hotel based on location and TA reviews and were more than happy with our choice. From a friendly check-in experience, to a much-needed laundry room, and a delicious and varied complimentary breakfast, we enjoyed our stay immensely. The highlight for us was the outdoor pool. We enjoyed sunbathing and swimming with gorgeous mountain views in the background (very instagrammable!) and really appreciated that the layout of the motel made everything really accessible. It is a short drive back into Lone Pine for dinner, but if we return to the area, we would definitely stay here again rather than taking a room closer to the centre of town. A lovely stay, we wouldn't change a thing.
I can highly recommend Best Western Plus Frontier Motel in Lone Pine, CALIFORNIA! The room was great, the Internet was fast, the service was excellent, and breakfast was very good. We look forward to returning soon.
Stayed at this hotel many times in the past when we hiked Mount Whitney, but it is way past due for a major updating at the prices we paid. Doors don't seal and bugs get in. Air Conditioner blows air directly on your face while sleeping. Staff does not seem to care about your stay.
Old but comfortable. Quiet and perfect for a halfway stop between Reno and San Diego. Magnificent views of the Sierra Nevada mountains and Mt Whitney. Nearby restaurants offered good variety but were very pricey.
Plenty of rooms, nice grounds with grassy area, pool. Handy to town but quieter. Decor a bit dated, but no problem, rooms clean. Free internet appreciated. Breakfast included. Parking numbered so no scramble to find a spot. One level.
We were very surprised to find such a nice hotel along the route as we traveled from Reno to Palm Springs. The hotel is convenient to travelers, clean and nicely furnished. Our bed was extremely comfortable and the breakfast was as good as you'll find included with the price of the room.
Stayed here with my daughter on a trip to Death Valley. An older motel, but clean and well kept, with a very friendly and informative staff as well as a good free breakfast. We ended up in a really large room with a door plaque labeled "WagonWheel." We forgot to ask the desk the significance of the label as it seemed to be the only room with a number and a name, but we were very pleased with the room as well as the newly remodeled bathroom. Also a great view of the snow covered Sierra Nevada's out your front door! A nice small town with that serves as a great base for local hiking of a visit to Death Valley.
This is a nice location for people traveling going south thru 395. The rooms are ok, AC is a little bit loud and the parking space is small. The bed is comfortable and of course just like the other Best Western the breakfast is great.
We stay here on our way from Sequoia to Death Valley. Got a great restaurant review from Reception, slept well and left happily ... having left our travel documents behind. No huge crisis, except our Uk driving licences were in the pack. 2 emails and a few days later they arrived at our UK home. We are very grateful. Kind people.
Highly recommended place to stay. Old-style motel with rooms that open to the outside rather than to a central hallway, but the room itself was spacious, clean, quiet, and pleasantly furnished. Lots of options at breakfast. Congenial staff.
This hotel was very well furnished and the staff was diligent in handling every question. The front desk clerk helped us identify Whitney and other mountains, gave great recommendations regarding eating locations and hiking areas, and overall helped demonstrated she cared. The diligence was demonstrated by all the other employees with whom we had contact, from the room service to the pool cleaner! The location and staff make this a great base to experience the natural environment with many natural arches, the history of the Manzanar National Historic Site, and Lone Pine's history of moviemaking in the Alabama Hills. Returning to a clean, quiet, well cared-for room made each day's experience that much more enjoyable.
Located on the edge of town as you come from the west, this hotel is by far the nicest from Lone Pine to Bishop. My husband and ibhave stayed here at least 20 times over several years and we have always had a perfect experience. The rooms are large beautiful and clean. Ask for the "back rooms" which are huge, have views of the mountains and also huge whirlpool tubs n the bathrooms. The Gene Autrey room is the best, followed by the Carry Grant room. Both have views oMt. Whitney. All the back rooms have views of Meadows and mountains. There is also a very nice pool. The staff are super nice and they have a nice free breakfast. Internet is Fred and fast. Close to Mt. Whitney trail head and Alabama Hills. Also nice walking area around the hotel.
Excellent! Great service. I would definitely stay here again!!!! Breakfast was good, bed was very comfortable. Internet was really good considering there is nothing out here in the way of internet. Front desk helped us find attractions.
I always enjoy my stay at Best Western in Lone Pine. The rooms are extremely clean and pets are welcome for no extra charge. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast is very satisfying. I will stay there again
Room was spotless - spacious bathroom, plenty of towels - nice size room with fridge and microwave. As close as it is to the highway, once the door was closed there was no traffic noise - couldn't hear our neighbors, either and the motel was full. Nice seating area near the pool and a more private one around the corner. Dogs need to be walked in the vacant field adjacent to the motel - it is gated/fenced and doggy bags are supplied. Nice breakfast bar with plenty of choices, although refill of the potatoes was slow (again, the motel was full) and my partner had issues with the toaster not working. Fabulous view of the Sierra from the parking lot - I was out early to walk the dog and caught a magnificent sunrise over the Inyo Mountains and red shadows on the Sierra. Beautiful! Close to Visitor Center, Alabama Hills, Whitney Portal, and the Western Movie Museum. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
I was in the far south wing...I think it might be newer. The room was huge, much more than I needed for one person, but not complaining. Bath was beautiful with a large jetted tub that I didn't use other than for showers but loved the huge size. View of Mt Whitney right out the front window. Room was very quiet! I enjoyed my few days there immensely. I would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time in Lone Pine, especially in visiting the Film Museum and the Alabama Hills, but we also enjoyed visiting Manzanar. Our hotel was everything we wanted it to be, with comfy beds and a bathroom with a sink inside as well as having a sink and counter outside the bathroom. Great! The breakfast was really nice and easy, too.
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Room clean, comfortable, had everything we needed for our one night stay. Enjoyed the fitness room, good variety of equipment, looked fairly new. We were happy we could do our laundry here, always nice on a road trip. Plenty of food at breakfast buffet. Good variety, friendly staff. Easy check-in/check-out, friendly staff.
Wonderful location, service, breakfast ( warm full breakfast with many choices),close to Death Valley and has a beautiful federal land area, Alabama Hills....great for hiking and seeing where they make movies, would stay here again in a heart beat!! Great!!!
The room themes were fun and the room and bed were very nice. We had the Roy Rogers room. The breakfast was excellent. The staff and local sites handouts were very useful. Don't miss the Alabama hills or the Mount Whitney Portal drive.
On our Thanksgiving week trip to Death Valley we stayed one night at BW Plus Frontier Motel, and everything was OK! They have the friendliest employees, great breakfast, and most of all - SUPERB Customer Service! They resolved our reservation issue with professionalism!
The Frontier has been good for years...the new remodel simply makes it even better. Reservation process was easy, got the room we like (south side) with a view...room and beds comfortable, convenient breakfast! We'll be coming back.
Stay here every time we travel from lake tahoe to southern california . Service is always good , the road trip is very acenic. Great breakfast before getting back on the road . This pet friendly motel fits our needs.
This motel is the best in Lone Pine. Clean updated rooms, best breakfast offerings, comfortable surroundings, and reasonable price. Help is friendly and everything works like it should. I've stayed three other times and each time the service and accommodations have been five star.
If you're in the mood to see Mount Whitney and explore the Alabama Hills, this location is just blocks away from the road leading to them. Single-story motel, with parking in front of the room, they serve a very decent hot breakfast and some very good coffee. All of the employees were polite, helpful and smiling. The shower was small, but I'm not complaining!
This was a very nice property that was well-maintained and managed. The place was not new but was cared for with love. The room and bathroom were large. The bed and pillows were good aand room very quiet. There was an excellent view of Mt. Whitney from the parking lot. The breakfast was good.
We booked a room for late arrival, called to inform the hotel that we would be later than expected and the front desk responded with, " you do not have a reservation here", I gave them the confirmation number from the Best Western website and still they could not locate the reservation! I asked now what can I do, she responds with I will reserve you a room for you, no problem, GREAT!!! Not so fast, we arrived and started the registration and were informed that we had to pay for two rooms, what, why? Desk clerk responded with you had a reservation and then made a second one, I told her that she stated that there was no reservation in her system and then created one for us, what a complete cluster "UCK", after several attempts on the phone talking with the web site reps, multiple transfers etc., no help!! The manager that was supposed to be on location could not be reached until the next day. I paid for both to get some sleep and tried again in the morning same results, not so inexpensive after all!!!! And the manager was finally reached by phone but I felt she could not be bothered and refused to come in. I did finally get the money credited back but it took multiple calls, several explanations and several weeks, NOT A GOOD EXPERIANCE. The room was adequate, bathroom had mold and multiple layers of caulking to attempt to stop a leak, heating system was very noisy and worked poorly. I would not recommend this place for the above reasons and several others, what a shame to spoil such a great location.
We were two couples of friends staying in a family room, very good price, very large room, spacious, very clean, A/C, nice large window, coffee maker, internet, parking place, quiet place and very kind welcome people. We lost a mobile wire in the room and they sent it to us to another place. Swimming pool not too large but lovely. Very nice place to start visiting Death Valley. Breakfast should be a little more elaborated for this kind of hotel. Great restaurants in Lone Pine especially "Season's", a little pricey but quality was present.
This is the second time staying at this hotel and it won't be our last ....... The only complaint I would have about this place is hearing the traffic pass through the town other than that this is a very nice place to stay......staff is very humble and helpful room is very clean, the bed and pillows are super comfortable and the view is breathtaking..... cannot wait for our next mini vacation.....
Came in late on a Monday eve...almost sold out. "Patricia" was on duty, was welcoming and professional. Nice after being on the road. Good price for the room, and directions TO the room! Layout is that you can drive up and park right outside your room (well, I LIKE that). VERY clean room and quiet, even tho next to 395. Breakfast was included which was appreciated. Would make it a stop again...and probably will.
$89.95 room rate was the best value we had during our road trip. Very comfy king bed in well appointed room, laundry to do a weeks worth of washing cost $3.50, reception friendly and helpful, breakfast included was a bonus. Pool was closed due to the time of year but looked good Would definitely recommend it to travellers
Staff was super friendly and made us feel welcome and important. Room was very spacious and immaculate. Coffee maker had a side by side cup set up so you could make 2 separate cups at once which was nice. There was also a microwave and refrigerator in the room. Shower had a rotating shower head and a spa tub. Bathroom are had two sinks, one outside of the bathroom and one inside which made it nice for two people getting ready in the morning. The bed was comfortable. It was a quiet motel even though there were many cars in the parking lot. Breakfast was top notch, pancake maker, homefries, bacon, sausage, eggs, along with all the more common fare for free breakfast. We were really happily surprised with our choice and will certainly stay again.
On the edge of the desert, just outside the tiny burg of Lone Pine, this motel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly service. We've stayed here before. Both times, we were unable to use the wi-fi, which didn't seem to work in the room (though it did in the breakfast area). If this matters to you, you might inquire at the front desk when checking in.
This property is pet friendly with a one time pet charge not daily, large pet area behind facility. Rooms are large and clean and breakfast is very good. Near some great scenery. The Alabama Hills are nearby. Many other day trip destinations to choose from this location.
First thing I notices was the really strange smell. Still not sure what it was but perhaps their bulk cleaning products. Room was clean although extremely small. Bathroom a good size. The breakfast was great. Buffet with the usual fare. Would not stay more than 1 night, but fine for a quick over nighter .
In town for the western film festival, we chose to stay about a half-mile out of town in this Best Western motel. The room was surprisingly spacious and mostly updated; enough parking, and within view and hearing range of a happy and vocal herd of cows, which made for quite a western experience. The complimentary breakfast had plenty to choose from, and the staff in the breakfast area was cheerful and eager to help. The staff in the evening seemed less friendly and helpful--perhaps it was just the stress of the festival, but they were markedly different than the morning group. On Saturday night the power went out completely, and the young woman staffing at the desk couldn't have been more brusque and unhelpful. Perhaps she was distracted by the toddler she had with her, and it wasn't like we were expecting her to magically put the power back on, but her attitude seemed to be that it was our fault it was out in the first place. Overall good value for the money, and conveniently located for downtown, the visitor's center, and just a short trip to Manzanar.
the management and all the staff are wonderful. our room was neat clean and very comfortable, you cannot do any better then staying at the best western lone pine ca. close to good places to eat the film museum and the views are something to see.
Stayed here for two nights in September. Friendly welcome at reception and a numbered parking space outside the room. It does look like a motel, but the rooms are better than first impressions suggest. Good breakfast with pancake machine. Only one we encountered on the whole holiday. 15 minutes brisk walk into town, poorly lit of a night so take care when coming back when dark. Would stay here again if in Lone Pine.
Stayed here on a business trip. Very comfortable place. Beds good. Breakfast good. Staff very friendly. Would recommend this place if passing through the town. They do have a fitness center also. The pool is outdoors though.
Clean, quiet rooms; good breakfast; friendly staff. Typical old Best Western motel from the 70's. The back section has only one way in/out so you have to make a tight three-point turn to leave. There is also no place to park while checking in except on the street.
Very disappointing for a Best Western Plus. One night stay. When we called reservations and asked the difference between a King and King Deluxe room, we were told only the Deluxe King at that location had refrigerators (not true) so we upgraded. Large, clean room, but the refrigerator and bathroom fan were too loud to leave on and one of two electrical outlets in the vanity area was non-functional. We did fill out a card about the room and mentioned to the desk person on checkout about the problems, but she didn't seem to care much.
Very nice hotel. Quiet even close to busy Hwy. Very Friendly Staff. Full Breakfast and Ample Parking. Easy drive, 1/2 mile to great restaurants in Lone Pine. Will stay there again. Normally stay in Bishop, however glad all hotels were sold out in Bishop. Introduced to a better BW in Lone Pine.
Visited the hotel with 2 children. Lrg rooms. Clean. Well mainteined. Excellent full breakfast. Coffee kit. Ref and microwave in rooms. Nrxt to room free parking. Right at the enterance to death valley on the way to Vegas.
A fairly large room, confortable, and a tiny bathroom rather well maintained with one exception : the air conditioning unit.So noisy that it would be impossible to sleep with that unit on. For us, we managed as we were there in September and the temperature was already easing off but I cannot imagine how it is during summer months. Breakfast is included in the room price but the breakfast room is far too small and we never could get a table. We gave up and went "downtown" for a good and confortable breakfast (at our expense, of course).
I've stayed at this motel 3 times in the past 3 years, each time for between one and two weeks, so as I keep coming back, I obviously think it's OK - but the only other similar motel is marginally more expensive, so competition at a similar quality end is limited. There are quite a few other motels in Lone Pine, but they are lower budget and less attractive ( in my opinion). This year my stay was OK, same good free breakfast, (perhaps slightly better than last time with the introduction of rather tasty sausages in the hot food section!), same friendly and efficient staff, but there were a few niggles which took the edge of my stay. Firstly the quality of the TV reception was poor, a friend who stayed at the Comfort Inn down the road said the reception there was much better. Looking behind the TV -while not being an expert - I think they were using the wrong type of connections between the cable box and the TV to get the best quality picture. Secondly, although advertising improved wi-fi, while it may have been faster, it was only faster when it worked. On several occasions it didn't - which was extremely frustrating, other guests reported similar problems. Thirdly, I stayed for 9 nights, my sheets were not changed during the stay. While I could (and should) perhaps have asked for them to be changed, the fact that they weren't changed suggests a lack of quality control on the housekeeping side. Finally, as I said I've been staying there for the last 3 years, although still very clean and well cared for, the rooms are not quite as pristine as they were 3 years ago. Having said the above, the criticism are minor and the motel is still a good one, however for the price (over $130 a nigh including tax), I feel they could improve. As for the price, I think it is high - I paid between $80 and $90 for similar quality motels at other places during my holiday, but the high price no doubt reflects the remote location and they have a captive market.
I stay here often and I am always very satisfied with my room and quality of service I receive. This is really a nice place to stay. I enjoy the naming of the various suites after movie stars. The rooms are large and usually have a comfortable chair of sofa where you can relax, read or get some work done. This is a nice place.
I would have given this a 5 but our room didn't have a hair dryer. I expected extras since this is a plus motel. The room was nice and clean. We enjoyed walking around their large property. There is a nice grassy area with tables and chairs. People were sitting outside enjoying the pleasant evening and mountain view. Breakfast was very good with a wide selection of food. Breakfast attendant quickly replaced items if they ran out. It's at edge of town along highway. Our room was quiet.
It was a basic room, with clean linens. I was unhappy with the stained carpets and drapes. The light in the bathroom strobed all night. The custodian did come in the next day and change the bulb. The toilet was loose and rocked when you sat down. I did not mention this when the custodian changed the light because I did not want to have plumbing work done while we occupied the room. I did notify the desk of the problem upon checking out. So, while the room was quiet, the breakfast was great and the staff were helpful, I expected a higher level of repair and cleanliness in a room at this price point. The hotel responded to me that those issues would be addressed. I hope so.
We had the John Wayne room and it was huge!! Great view of Mt Whitney right from our room. Our room was on the end near the highway but we were not bothered by noise from the highway. We stayed here 3 nights because we were hiking Mt Whitney. We had lots of space in our room for our luggage, cooler and packs. This room had a living room, 2 queen beds, microwave, 2 refrigerators, 4 large windows and 3 AC units. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The free breakfast was good and filling. The pool was chilly and no hot tub. A hot tub after Whitney sure would have felt nice. Town and most of the restaurants were about 6 blocks away. I would recommend this place and would stay here again.
We stayed one night at the Best Western Frontier on our way to Death Valley NP. It's located on Hwy. 395 a few blocks south of Lone Pine's small main drag. We asked for a room near the rear to minimize road noise and found the room reasonably quiet. We had the AC on for awhile and it worked great. The room was clean, roomy enough and comfortable. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was more than adequate for our needs, with cereals, bread, fruit, pancakes, bacon, eggs & potatoes. The views of the Mt. Whitney crest are outstanding. Our stay was brief, but we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return.
During our round trip along the west coast we crossed the Rocky Mountains on the way to Death Valley and stopped in Lone Pine for one night. The Best Western Motel is a typical motel directly next to the main street through Lone Pine at the south exit of the city. The motel itself has about 30-40 rooms - all with access from the parking area. So each room has its own parking lot in front of the room. The room itself is small but big enough for a couple and two suitcases. It is equipped with a double bed, a microwave and a TV. The bathroom has a shower and a toilet and is big enough. During our stay it was really quiet and we had a good stay. North of the hotel you can find a gas station and a few supermarkets as well as some fast food restaurants.
We stayed here two years ago and this time the Motel has been upgrades to a PLUS which is by far the nicest BW+ we have stayed in.. Don't forget to head to the hills to the west and see where all the movies have been filmed. Its spectacular. Coming and going from Canada when on the 395 this is the place to stay..
Stopped for one night on our way North, Dog Friendly Best Western in a small town Enjoyed our stay and would stay again if passing thru. Good Breakfast very comfortable eating area good selection, great tasting coffee, clean comfy room, nice area for people and dogs, did not use the swimming pool but looked very inviting, overall very pleased
After an amazing but very long drive from Yosemite Valley we were so pleased to check in here. The Receptionist was very welcoming and helpful and our room was lovely and modern. We were up at 5am to have an early breakfast before our drive across Death Valley to Las Vegas and despite the early hour it was delicious with a great selection on offer and one of very few hotels that offered a breakfast inclusive room rate during our tour of the California, Nevada and Arizona. Our children loved their late evening dip in the pool which they had to themselves on the night we stayed in mid-August and we enjoyed the amazing views of Mt Witney and the lovely atmosphere of Lone Pine. All in all a good motel for any type of traveller and a great little town, top marks! :-)
we stay there every year. we are tour guides for the Lone Pine Film Festival. Best Western is our second home. we look forward every year, at least two or three times a year staying at the Best Western.
The motel is located on the edge of Lone Pine and is in excellent location for either traveling through Death Valley to Las Vegas or coming from Las Vegas through Death Valley. The motel is a classic roadside motel with good sized rooms with good TV and Wi-Fi facilities. The bathroom was ample sized although the toilet seemed to be in an illogical position but I guess that is how they built the room. The breakfast was a standard motel breakfast and the staff were pleasant and helpful and the motel has great views of the mountains. The one negative was that there is literally nothing but 10 feet of concrete between the motel and the highway, I had an end room and you could clearly hear cars and trucks passing at speed ten feet from your room. This didn´t both me as I am a good sleeper but if you are easily disturbed by noise, request a room deep into the motel complex to minimize the noise
This is a Best Western Plus and I am a Platinum Member. Nevertheless I paid $162 on a Thursday for what is more like a plain Best Western and was not allowed a Senior discount. The motel looked half full that night and there were vacancies. Furthermore, the advertised heated pool was very cold and certainly not heated. Other guests also found it uncomfortable. I also was invited to contribute 'gratuities' to cleaning and breakfast serving staff. I would have thought paying that amount of money management could afford to pay their staff properly.
We stayed at this hotel on our trip to Yosemite National Park from LasVegas. The hotel was comfortable, quiet and clean and the staff polite and cheerful after our long journey. We eat at the lone pine smokehouse which was a simple eatery with good simple food and excellent service. But it was late when we arrived so be prepared for most places to be closed earlier than normal.
I live in Reno and my boyfriend lives in San Diego so we meet in at the Best Western in Lone Pine, CA at least once a month.I bring my dog. They have a dog area. The rooms with little patios let you sit out in the back at night and look at the bazillion stars and in the morning you can sit out there and enjoy the view of the mountains and drink your coffee. There is great hiking in the area The rooms are clean and the beds comfy! The breakfast is good. We always enjoy our stay!!!!!
After 2 nights in Las Vegas being robbed blind at The Bellagio this place was the perfect antidote. Our king room was spacious, well equipped, very clean and far less expensive!! There is a very adequate breakfast included, with bacon strips, sausages, egg, pancakes, oatmeal, fruit juices, toast and fresh fruit, plus 24 hour coffee. There's a lovely pool, with patio and loungers, a well tended lawn out front with tables and chairs, and fabulous views over Mount Whitney and the rest of the Sierra Nevada range. The staff are courteous, friendly and helpful, which counts for a lot. This is a lovely little town, and we are pleased we stopped here for two nights on our road trip.
This is the type of hotel you would like to stay in after a long drive thru' Death Valley. Very well maintained and kept clean. The rooms are cozy and clean and have all basic amenities like Fridge, Microwave etc. The bathroom in our room was a bit small for our liking. they provide you parking just outside your room, so that helped us as we didn't have to move any luggage inside the room and kept it inside the car itself. Breakfast options were standard as well. One more great thing about this hotel is the view from the outside sitting area, we got some really good picture from that setting.
We usually stay at another hotel in Lone Pine, but due to availability, we had to stay in the Best Western. A pleasant surprise, for a small town like this we thought it to be a very clean, quiet, large room. Everything we normally find in Best Western's in larger cities was here, including an over-size bathroom that was a great change from the normal tiny spaces. Comfortable bed, table and two chairs for seating, all in all, a good place to consider in Lone Pine.
Old classic movie films were shot here. Everywhere you look from Mt Whitney to fields and streams. Right out of a John Wayne movie. Our room was very nice and comfortable. Large bath and tub, soft towels. Except for breakfast bring your own food, very little in tiny town to eat.
Old motel nicely redecorated and located. Good staff and rooms quite comfortable at reasonable price. Have stayed here dozens of times. Very nice outdoor sitting area with fine view of Sierra's including Mt. Whitney. Only issue was that staff allowed a tour bus to park immediately in front of sitting area and entirely blocked the lovely view. Bad idea.
After visiting Death Valley the one thing that was wanted was a good air conditioned room, & it had one. The room had 2 beds, was large & clean. There was also a swimming pool which was certainly a plus. The breakfast was also very good with a great variety of choices.
Coming off 14 days backpacking the John Muir Trail (jmt) I was looking for a simple room to shower and get a good nights rest. Turns out this Saturday night every hotel was booked and I got the last room at this terrific hotel. This oversized room rivaled those at any fancy hotel. The detail the staff went to to ensure nothing was overlooked was overwhelming. The room had two desks, a full couch, chairs, microwave, refrigerator, huge Jacuzzi/shower, king bed with 5 pillows ,and plenty of towels. It was quiet, comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. The breakfast options were many and were quite good. The hotel staff, particularly Patricia, were friendly, helpful, and professional. This was indeed a treat at the end of a tough 2 weeks.
This property is very well kept and clean. The location of the Hotel gives every guest a spectacular view of Mt. Whitney and the Southern Sierra Nevada Range which is amazing and beautiful any time of the year. The rooms are very clean. The breakfast provided was fresh and lots of choices to choose from. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating should you have a problem or are just looking for a good restaurant to eat at, or need to find something.
We stopped here overnight on a drive from Yosemite to Las Vegas. While a little older in decor everything was clean and well kept - except the air conditioner which sounded like a plane taking off .. all night long. Happy with everything and else and the included breakfast was OK.
This is an old hotel, for a two-night stay. The rooms have been partially redone with, surprisingly, a jacuzzi in the bathroom. There is a revolving shower head with a somewhat puny spray, and as a result, the water pressure is uneven. The towels were excellent. The breakfast was fair, helped only by the pancake maker. The staff is very pleasant and helpful and the location is excellent.
our room was clean and comfortable ,very very quiet at night ,very good service , receptionist very helpful . parking is just in front of your room , will come again to this place again on our next trip . will recommend to anyone .
Lone Pine is a small town, so choice of hotels is limited. This hotel has been remodeled, the rooms are very nice, the service and staff are great, and the included breakfast is a definite plus. I have stayed here once before, and will definitely stay here again when I am in the area.
We called these folks just hours before arriving in Lone Pine to see if they had a room. We took their last room which happened to be a room designed for those with disabilities. When we arrived at 11 pm, the front desk was manned, and they were expecting us. I was told the front desk has someone there 24/7, which is cool. The room was fantastic. Super clean and about the biggest motel room I was ever in. The King size bed was one of the most comfortable beds my wife and I had ever slept in. This particular room had a huge "whirlpool" tub (which we did not use). There is a room fridge. I would expect the standard room to be smaller. The property itself is older, but very well kept and maintained. Others have commented on the breakfast buffet, which I thought was good, but not excellent. The sausages were great, the bacon, not so much. Pancake machine was really cool and quick to use. Lots of choices on bread and cereal and juices. I highly recommend this place if you need lodging in Lone Pine.
As I said, the rooms could be larger. I also thought that a Best Western Plus have a cook who makes eggs to your liking. I like that fact that the parking places are numbered (to your room). And the refrigerator and microwave is nice. The wi-fi is fast.
Broke our journey between Vegas and Yosemite here and we were very pleasantly surprised at the all-round quality of the place. Rooms were clean, comfortable and spaceous with good facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful and even the breakfast was good - the kids loved the automatic pancake machine! All-in-all a pretty good place .
The BW Plus Frontier motel in Lone Pine, CA was a complete and utter delight! I was there in Lone Pine to experience the Western Movie history and culture. The motel is decorated perfectly. It is totally updated and modern in every way and yet still possesses the old motor court design and feel of the old days of Route 66. Nostalgia with all the modern perks! Cant wait to go back. We loved Lone Pine and the Frontier! Alabama Hills, Mt. Whitney, Manzanar NHS and Death Valley!
Very clean and easy access to Lone Pine downtown. Great location if you are planning on hiking Mt Whitney. I would definitely recommend this hotel again. The breakfast options were good but needed to have better selection of hot items available. It was a very quiet hotel and this was welcomed after hiking for 18 hours up on the mountain the previous day.
The rooms were pretty clean rooms, Very comfortable beds. Pool and outdoor tables were nice. Excellent view of Mount Whitney. Friendly staff. Breakfast was just average. Waited for food to be refilled and finally just left with a coffee...
We had the corner room - so no window - but beds huge, comfy and room was super big. Pool was lovely and refreshing and the scenery was staggering. The breakfast was buffet style - and was of a high standard. Cook your own waffles !!
We stayed in Rm 125. Nice and cool in the summer because of it's particular location. Minimal amenities but o.k. clean. Buffet breakfast starts early, which is helpful. Terrible sind and faucet arrangement. Frog doesn't have a freezer section.
My expectations were pretty low when I booked one of the few motels in Lone Pine, CA. I've never stayed at a Motel and honestly, I didn't hold the highest opinion of them. SO NOT the case with this Motel. The property was lovely and very homey. The staff were incredibly accommodating, sweet and helpful. My room was spacious, clean and that goes double for the bathroom. Every amenity I could need in my room I had and it didn't cost me extra. If you're gonna rough it in the outdoors in Lone Pine or nearby, this is the place to stay.
We were in Lone Pine for two nights of our 10-day photo tour. This Best Western was a perfect place to operate out of. The room was large and comfortable. All the necessary amenities were available: refrigerator, microwave, flat screen TV, pool, ice machine, Internet in the rooms, hot breakfast (beginning at 5:00am), computers available and great air conditioning. The beds were comfortable and bathroom vanity ample. We would highly recommend the BW Frontier Motel to anyone passing through.
We stayed here one night after coming from Yosemite. The hotel is the perfect location if you want to drive through Death Valley and head to Las Vegas. The rooms are spotless, spacious and reasonably priced. It was actually the only place on our 10 day trip that we were able afford two adjoining rooms one for the kids and one for my husband and I. Rooms are huge! But don't just pass through Lone Pine. You must drive through the Alabama Hills. Incredible landscape. Not to be missed!
I really loved the spacious rooms at this BW and that you drive up to your room. We had four women in one room with two queens and even with all our hiking gear there was plenty of room. The people that run this are first class and the breakfast plentiful. Also they will keep your excess luggage for $5 while you go up the mountain. Will definitely stay here again.
The rooms are relatively large and clean. It's convenient to have two sinks, one in the bathroom and one in the vanity area. Staff is friendly, breakfast was good for a motel breakfast, and there are nice places to sit outside and enjoy the evening. This is right on Hwy 395, so we spent a few hours in the evening looking at the Eastern Sierras, watching bats fly overhead and trucks head up and down the highway. On the negative side, the style is 50's motor car hotel, where the cars park right up to the door, and the windows face the walkway next to the parking lot, so you will get some noise from cars and guests at night. Fortunately the air conditioner has an option to keep the fan on continuously so we were able to block out the noise at night and slept well. I also think it's a little pricey for a motel style room. But one of the nicer places to stay in Lone Pine.
The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The views from the pool toward Mount Witney are amazing. Fresh towels were available at the pool and the pool area was quiet and relaxing. The hotel has free wifi and the breakfast is tasty with a wide selection. The bathroom was fab, with a jacuzzi bath and turning shower head. Perfectly situated to visit Lone Pine and movie flat road and mount Witney trail. I would also recommend this hotel and a visit to the film museum.
I was very pleased, it was an awesome reprieve after a few days of hiking and tent camping. I would recommend it to anyone sho plans to stay in the area. It i svery close to Mount Whitney and Death Valley, and not far from Yosemite either.
We used this hotel for the night before and after our hike up Mt Whitney. We got a big room so we could easily sort out our gear, slept 6pm-midnight, hiked, and then came back and slept the next night after our hike. It is clean, AC works well, Great Lobby, and very helpful staff. the only issue was that the fan in the bathroom didnt work, there was a window. There were 4 switches in the bathroom but only one of them worked to turn the lights on and off. the shower was new and they had dispensers for conditioner, soap, and shampoo so you didnt have to mess around with tiny bubbles. They use modern key cards as room keys, and even to access the ice machine. the rooms are nicely decorated with images from western movies filmed in Lone Pine. Lone Pine is really proud of its film history. The staff in the lobby and cleaning staff is really helpful and friendly.
Made last minute reservations; Called Best Western direct and received AAA discount. Everything was great: evening and morning service desk staff, super clean room with everything, comfortable bed, microwave, frig, tv, internet access. Traveling alone felt very secure and safe. Pool and grounds was clean and very nice.
I do feel that the Best Western in Lone Pine is your 'best bet' for a short stopover or possibly a longer stay in Lone Pine - whether you are passing through from Death Valley/Vegas like we were or maybe staying longer to explore the local hills and mountains. The place is set out as a series of single floor apartments each with a front door and a parking space which was ideal for us. The hotel has a small outdoor pool surrounded by a green lawn with seating and lounging. The grounds were clean, well kept and tidy and it all looked lovely in the sunshine! We really liked the peace and tranquility of the place, especially with the fantastic mountains in the background! Check in was swift and friendly. The room is kind of standard USA 'motel' fare but much better than a comfort inn! The room had a nice big 32" TV with plenty of channels, a fridge, hair dryer, iron etc. The AC unit was rather dated and a bit noisy though. The bed was large and comfortable, the pillows were nice. The bathroom was small but clean if rather a bit old and dated which did make it look tired. Most importantly, we had a long, uninterrupted comfortable sleep which is all you want really! Free breakfast the next morning was adequate with a continental style of cereals, fruit, pancakes, a bit of bacon and coffee/juices. It was enough to keep us going as we began our drive onto Yosemite. Finally, location wise this hotel is excellent. It's a great place to stop if you are taking the drive to/from Vegas/San Francisco or are driving through Death Valley or on to Yosemite. Staying here allowed us more time to explore Death Valley as we drove through from Las Vegas and we were able to get up bright and early and take the shorter drive to Yosemite.
Great hotel....good shower with twirling shower head. Quiet,clean...when you first drive up it is not impressive. But we had a great stay. Staff was very nice and attentive. Sent us to a wonderful local restaurant. Breakfast was very good. View of Mt. Whitney is breathtaking.
Clean nice two queen beds. Two sinks one outside the bathroom. Very basic amenities hanging in the shower. Nice size TV. Refrigerator is quiet and microwave. Air a bit noisy. Good lamps with plugs. Several pillows. Room for 2 large bags. Green area with tables in front by the pool to have a picnic or a drink. Breakfast had walnuts and pecans. Wished for waffles but they had this plastic like pancakes. The geological rock formations in the area are spectacular. I wish there were better signs. They are fixing the road so hopefully they will sign post for tourist in detail. Pizza Factory not that great. Stop in Fossil Falls on your way here. The loop to take is after Diaz Lake turn onto Lubken Canyon to Tuttle Creek to Whitney Portal, Amazing!!!! PS you can buy a HWY map in the lobby 5.95 worth it!
After having stayed at other hotels in Lone Pine, the Best Western is my favorite by far. It's nothing fancy, but they do a great job with what they have. First, the rooms are clean and have everything you need (good TV, coffee, lots of room, etc.). The people are friendly and they keep hikers and outdoors folks in mind by starting their free breakfast at 5am. I stayed for 4 days to do multiple hikes and some bike rides, and the room was big enough to keep all my gear, and pack / repack for each day's adventure. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. Everything was done well. Clean, safe, and friendly.
Excellent hotel for price and area. Very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast, super clean and super comfy beds. I would highly recommend this to anyone. We were there to climb Mount Whitney and used this as our before and after stay. Even the pool was perfect and clean.
This was our first visit to an American Motel . A pleasant surprise really the room was clean and the bed was ok . I left a can of coke open overnight which attracted a load of ants from somewhere. I didn't see any signs of them anywhere in the room .Other than that the room was ok . There is a small pool outside for the guests to use this was clean with towels nearby to use as well . The pool was a welcome respite from the intense heat of July in Lone Pine . Breakfast is self service and was ok as well. Overall we would use this place again if travelling in the area .
Stayed for one night en route to Vegas. Two rooms. Very clean, spacious and delivered what we needed. Shower good m, air con efficient. Pool was lovely with a fab view of Mount Whitney. Breakfast was complimentary and was fine. Bit basic but everything there that you would expect.
This delightful hotel is western in appearance and Southern in hospitality. I found every worker to be pleasant and ready to help with any question about the area and any services. The room was extremely well kept and up to date. Would highly recommend this as your first choice in Lone Pine.
Very clean.... Doesn't charge " extra" for pets.... Free breakfast, Wi-Fi and HBO.... Very much enjoyed this hotel. Everything is updated as well. Nice spacious bathrooms. Shower even has hand pump shampoo, conditioner and body wash, and they all smell great! Highly recommend??
I stayed at the Lone Pine Best Western with friends, the nights before and after our day hike up Mt Whitney. The place was very clean and new, a large room with two beds, great air conditioning, nice spacious and clean bathroom. There's also a pool (closes at 9pm; we returned just in time for a short swim to calm our legs). Nice breakfast is included. The staff was very friendly and helpful; I could not ask for more.
This Best Western is far and away the best place to stop in Lone Pine, CA. Great view of Mt. Whitney, full breakfast, well equipped room, and reasonable rates kept the vacancy sign off. Make reservations! One of the best stays on our 10 day driving tour of California National Parks and northern CA coastline.
We stayed for only 1 night at this hotel. It was in great condition with the room being nice a big with 2 huge double Beds. There was a small pool and a small fitness room. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was also included which was ideal and the kids loved it. All in all we enjoyed our brief stay at Line Pine. There are some nice restaurants a walk away from the hotel in town. A nice small American town.
This hotel is surprisingly nice for a sort of out there, old west town. We stayed here to hike Mt. Whitney and had a great time! Rooms are clean and very well appointed. Plenty of coffee in the room. A fridge, a microwave and an exceptionally nice bed! Our room had a Jacuzzi tub though we didn't use it. This hotel has a pool that is just about big enough to swim laps in. We didn't use that either because we were a bit too busy, but maybe next time. I would stay here again if I'm ever back in the lovely town of Lone Pine.
Great service, clean and comfortable rooms, adequate breakfast, pool. Staff are all helpful and pleasant. The views of Mt. Whitney at dawn or nightfall are great. It is of course on the highway, which makes for road noise outside. But the rooms are set back a bit and quiet
Outstanding Motel, friendly staff, great location to tour the Alabama Hills where lots of movies were made. Good fishing in the area, and close to the Mt. Whitney trail. Good movie museum in town. Fun small town to walk around, careful in the fall as they have the Movie Museum Week and reservations are hard to get.
No frills but overall pretty quiet and clean. Pleasant staff. Good breakfast with a nice variety of patries, muffins, yogurt, juices, cereals, mini omelettes and make your own pancakes. We were here to acclimatize for Whitney and spend a day afterward recovering. Nice little pool to relieve the heat. Perfect place for our purposes.
After camping 3 nights at Big Pine Creek Campground, the Best Western was a nice and relaxing change. It was as I expected, the room was clean, bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked well! And as a plus, there's a laundromat!!! Refrigerator and microwave in the room. Lone Pine is a sleepy little town, many restaurants close by 10. Included breakfast was ok, nothing to write home about except it was the right price.
This is a great location if you want to drive across Death Valley before the heat of the day sets in. Fun memorabilia - I had the Roy Rogers room. Good, clean basic accommodations. They start serving breakfast really early which is a great plus if you want to hit the road.
We stayed at this hotel prior to our hike to Mount Whitney and it was great. Front desk staff helpful and kind - helped us sort out our group reservations with good humor. Rooms are clean and upgraded and comfortable. Wifi works great. Breakfast is substantial and perfect to start an epic hike and it is available at 5AM. Best spot in town.
This is a nice enough motel, kind of a throw back to motel travel in the 60's/70's. Parking is extremely close, tough to open your doors. I think we paid a little extra for a "Mt." view, but the view is across the highway, through some telephone wires... Breakfast included, again, nothing special. Best thing though: Front Desk gave us excellent advice - wait until Bishop to buy your camp food at Vons..thank you!
Nice hotel, clean rooms and friendly staff. Kids had fun at the pool. We stayed here one night and it fit our needs perfectly. It was close access to Whitney Portal Road and the Alabama Hills Area. It's on the main road but we didn't hear any traffic. It also had an area out front to sit and enjoy the beautiful mountain views!!
Lone Pine is a convenient mid-point stay location when traveling along Hwy. 395 between Lake Tahoe/Carson City area and San Diego area. The motel is older but the room, grounds, and swimming pool area are well maintained. The staff are friendly, efficient, and helpful. Each room has an assigned parking space, which is helpful. The room is large and appropriately furnished (comfortable bed). The free breakfast was good.
On a road trip between the national parks, this is a great stop on the way to Death Valley. Your basic motel but everything is there: good, comfortable beds and good shower. Nice rooms. Great a/c and small quiet pool on the premises. Quiet area but a close drive to reataurants etc. Breakfast was ok, although mostly sugary, processed and high carb. There was fruit and yoghurt but I would have appreciated more healthy /fresh items but that's really personal. I think most people would find the breakfast selection more than ok. The price was reasonable. Would stay again.
We stayed here the night before heading to Death Valley. Fortunately the hotel proposes breakfast (included according to formula) as soon as 5:00 am, which is very appreciable. Breakfast is good, although it is not the best I've seen in a Best Western. Otherwise all comfort is provided : swimmimg pool, fitness room, ice, laundry. And the room was nice, clean, comfortable and convenient. Inside, we always appreciate when functions of bathroom are separated, and here is the case with the bathroom sink located ouside the bathroom, which accommodates shower and toilet. Beds, carpets, air conditioning, fridge : all ok. Conclusion : A good place to stay for a price that I judged acceptable when I booked, 141,11 usd all taxes included for 3 people including breakfast, in July.
I had my big day with mount whitney and found this to crash in before and after. One of the best places I can say. * Rooms are clean and comfy, though look very tight on space. * The breakfast includes hot omlettes, spiced potatoes, yogurt, breads, fresh fruit and juices.. It was really helpful when my family including two kids were staying back. And then we went ahead to death valley but really enjoyed the stay here for two nights.
We were only here for 12 hours following our Mt Whitney hike. It was perfect after a couple nights camping - we got hot showers, had nice comfortable beds, and a cool room which was nice since it was over 100 degrees out. The room was quiet and dark and I slept well. In the morning we had a great breakfast - pancake machine, eggs, toast, cereal, lots of options. We didn't get to try out the pool. I'd stay here again if I were in Lone Pine and not camping.
We stayed one night here - nice hotel, excellent air conditioner in the room (critical in 100+ degree Lone Pine), very nice breakfast in the morning. I had a reservation for a second night 2 days later, but plans changed with some problems with our group hiking up to Mt. Whitney; due to being up in the mountains I didn't have cell reception and missed the hotel's cancellation deadline by 1 hour. The hotel refused to cancel the room and we were fully charged. The day of the reservation I called the hotel to ask if there were any available rooms and they said they were fully booked, so clearly they were able to book our room and made double money on the room that night. I acknowledge they didn't break any rules but I thought it was poor customer service that they would not agree to cancel our reservations, especially at such a busy time of year when it was likely they would be able to book the room.
We visit lone pine quite often. We come here to hike the Eastern Sierra mountain range. This is a great place to stay. Very friendly and nice and clean. They do have dog friendly rooms. Just on the edge of town. We will stay here every time.
This is a GREAT place to stay with children and pets...nice pool for the kids....great outdoor area for the dogs....I would definitely stay here again when I'm driving north and south on the 395! Good breakfast too! AND, the air conditioning works!! That's a huge plus when it's over 95 outside!!
Seems like rooms have been recently remodeled. Beds were very comfortable. Ice machine worked great which was needed as it was 107 degrees outside. TV volume could not be raised to loud which was an interesting feature (good for guests next door!) breakfast was open at 5 am - perfect for Mt. Whitney hikers!
We stopped here for one night on our way to Gardnerville. We enjoyed our stay. The room was large and the king bed was very comfortable. Nice towels and everything was super clean. The pool was so much fun. The hot breakfast was very tasty and included eggs, potato, and sausage. The view of the mountains was amazing. Highly recommend!
We stayed here with our uhaul. Many people where there for Mt. Whitney and they have a great pool outside with a good view of the mountains. It's dog friendly as well which was what we needed since we where moving. The room was clean and nice. Free breakfast in the morning. No problem with parking our uhaul overnight.
Booked for one night as a stopover between Mammoth Lakes and Las Vegas and to be honest didn't expect it to be such a great experience. Allocated parking space outside room, outside areas very clean & well appointed, room & bathroom were spotlessly clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable - had a fantastic night's sleep! Wifi connection was excellent & the air con very effective. Breakfast was ok, included all the basics. Excellent value for money & very much exceeded our expectations
We stayed here before and after we hiked Mt Whitney and were very happy with the staff, the hotel room itself and the fact that we could leave our second car on the lot when we parked at the trailhead. (When you have an overnight pass for Whitney, they only give you one parking pass. Some people are forced to pay $20 to pay for their second car to be parked on various lots in town, but BW let us park there for FREE even though we were not staying there the night we summited!!) The breakfast started early (great for hikers) and the rooms were cozy. My only negative feedback would be that the walls between the bathroom and bedroom areas are too thin, so anytime someone flushed at night, everyone would wake up.
Traditional single-storey motel, our own porch & front door, decent size room, large bathroom, well-equipped, up-together & clean. Specific allocated parking bay close to the room. Good pool, better breakfast than most. Only minor downside is that it's not walkable to town, just a two-minute drive.
Spent one night here. Room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. We appreciated that there were 2 sinks in the room to facilitate the family getting ready in the morning. Breakfast was standard hotel fare, breakfast area was really hot the morning we were here. Staff was very friendly.
This is our second time staying in Lone Pine, and both times we stayed at this motel. When arriving for the first time, I thought that this would be like any other inexpensive motel. However, the rooms appear to have been recently renovated. They are very clean and spacious. Both times we stayed, our rooms we had two queen beds and a sitting area. One of the best features was that there were two sinks, which is a great benefit when traveling with a family.The hotel is conveniently located right off of the 395 and is a short distance from the Eastern Sierra's Visitors Center and from good places to eat. Breakfast was complementary and was not bad. We will definitely stay at this hotel again if we are in the area.
We stayed here on our way to Death Valley from Eastern Sierra. The hotel was very comfortable & clean. It had all the facilities it needed to make our stay comfortable, tea & coffee making facilities & also a pool. Breakfast was very good too - would stay here again
The only complaint we had was that the breakfast room was too warm. This set up an amusing situation. Since we elected to take our food outside where it was more comfortable we had the occasion to pass the staff at the desk several times each morning. Every time we entered one staff member would say good morning. When we left the other staff member would say "Have a nice day." At any rate we enjoyed the hotel and Lone Pine.
What a great hotel just outside Death Valley NP in the Mount Whitney Portal. so clean, comfy beds, fantastic breakfast all with an amazing view of the sierra mountains. this place will put a smile on your face.
My sister and I pulled in late, and we were pre-checked in (convenient) since we called ahead. The room was very comfy and had a fridge. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was nice and dark so we slept in a bit. The price was great too! We parked in front of our room, so it was very easy to load / unload our stuff. Great, simple sleep!
What a surprise when we checked in last night... Drove arround to our room and all loked like they used some new paint... Then we turned the key... And here we stood: A completely new and beautiful room... If you follow my critics, you see that me saying this normally only happens with a few 5* hotels... Great job!!!!
Arrived to Lone Pine on a Sunday evening expecting a subpar motel room. We opened the door to our room and we were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. The room must have been newly remodeled because we could smell the fresh paint. Everything was clean and bathroom was fairly large. Here is the breakdown. Pro Dog friendly (no extra charge) Clean Updated Free Wi-Fi (no Sprint service) Assigned parking Continental breakfast Con Bed - hard and squeaky Pet relief area was behind the Best Western in a dirt field and no bags. I would totally recommend this Best Western to others.
This motel is clean and has a comfortable bed. The bathroom is small and shower has weak water pressure, but it is good enough for a night or two. Breakfast is a typical continental with standard options. Staff is friendly.
Comfortable hotel about 1 mile south of downtown Lone Pine. This hotel is a good base for exploring the area, nice breakfast included. The oversized rooms are very nice, in fact one of the nicest BW rooms I ever had, highly recommended. Also the in room, free wifi was very fast via fiber optic.
Well situated south side of town, great views of Mt. Whitney. Front desk staff go out of their way to be helpful. Rooms are nicely-sized, quiet, clean and neat. Breakfast is good as they come, with helpful attendents and often includes cheese omelets. We always make a point of staying at Frontier Best Western !
Specifically aimed for families and hikers. Very nice amenities and a great breakfast. We had a king mattress and it could have been more comfortable; however, this is my only complaint. The showers also had their own soap, shampoo, and conditioner dispenser. The breakfast had an awesome cheese omelet, which I believe was made on site, and the typical free breakfast items that consist of muffins, coffee, cereal, etc.
One of the better best westerns. Room very clean and tidy, easy to find on the interstate. Quiet, nice showers and a better breakfast than many (still paper plates etc). Only negatives were the pillows are like rocks and too high and the air con is noisy (but constant) and boy you need the air con
BW Lone Pine gives you everything you could possible want in a motel. Prices are very reasonable. The fact they are pet friendly is very important to me. I stay here quite often on my way to and from Reno and San Diego.
Lovely hotel located in Lone Pine, room spotless, everything we needed, coffee machine, iron and board, hair dryer, comfortable bed washed down with a lovely breakfast plenty of choice orange juice, coffee, cereals, breads, muffins, bagels, bacon, potatoes eggs - what more could we ask and good value for money.
This is an older property that has been refurbished, but they did a great job. Room was spacious and gleaming clean. We arrived late and appreciated quick check in. Breakfast was decent for a motel breakfast, and eating area was large enough to accommodate all. We were so tired that we could have slept through anything, but if you're bothered by noise, ask for a room in the back of the property away from the highway. The trucks going by on 395 are pretty loud.
This was a nice place except they could not keep their internet working. It was off 90% of our stay on the 21st of June. I will file a formal complaint. I called their high speed internet specialist four times. He got it going once, it lasted 15 minutes before it failed again.
We were on our way from Reno to San Diego and this place was half way. The property is impeccably maintained. Front desk person Patricia was excellent and helped me move to a room that fit my needs. This place is a gem, just a half mile south of town. The room is spotless, and there is no hint of chemical cleaner smells. Would recommend to anyone who wants a good end for their trip to Mt Whitney. Ask for rooms number 170-178. We stayed in 174, and it had a nice whirlpool bath.
We only stayed one night, a Sunday, and boy was this place ever popular. I liked that it was one story and each room had a correspondingly numbered parking spot near the room. No worries that you would come home late and not have a space to park in. Guests were outside enjoying the pool and tables and chairs set out on the lawn. Grounds, lobby and dining room were clean. Rooms were clean and quiet, and the beds were quite comfortable. We would stop by again.
The staff was friendly and efficient. The room was clean and comfortable with good internet access. Breakfast was included with room. The selection of items was comparable to other hotels (less the ubiquitous waffle making station) but could use addition fruit options besides apples and oranges. I would stay here again.
Awesome! Quiet and up to date. Breakfast has good selection and comfortable surroundings. Pool area is clean and neat just like the rooms. Best value in Lone Pine. Stayed there many times and will return again!
The hotel was very clean and all the service staff were friendly and helpful. There was a swimming pool and tables and chairs to sit outside. The breakfast was very good and have a very friendly atmosphere.
This was the first time we stayed in Lone Pine. So glad we chose Best Western to stay for a night between Death Valley and Yosemite. Best Western offered everything we needed after the long drive and a very hot day in Death Valley. It is in a very convenient location, with many nice restaurants nearby. We were able to park the car right in front of our room. The room was big and clean. The staff was very patient when we asked about the directions and local attractions. We would highly recommend this place to our friends!
Stayed in December 2015. Very clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. Room was very spacious, with plenty of room to spread out. The continental breakfast was probably the best I've ever had. Fun ambiance and great location. We'd definitely stay again!
we have stayed at many Best Western Hotels over the years and this was one of the best. Quiet, private rooms, excellent hotel staff. When we had breakfast, someone was right there to clean the table when they left. Rooms are a nice size.
We stayed one night in this clean, helpful motel.We were able to sit out by the pool after our long drive.The town was well worth visiting for its bars, restaurants and old pioneer railway station.We were told it was a favourite place to visit by John Wayne
The exterior is a bit rustic, but pretty much what one would expect in a remote area devoted to outdoor activities. The rooms were surprisingly well appointed; great bed, attractive furnishings, large tv, mini-fridge. The staff was terrific. The pool was clean and attractive, the breakfast included hot fresh items, and starts at 05:00!
Stayed one night in this motel. Helpful and quick check in staff. Room was very clean but somewhat basic for the price. However it very quiet and did the job. The pool was good and the breakfast was really good, one of the best of the whole trip.
Excellent experience. Added bonus to have stayed in the "Cary Grant" room. I got to sleep next to a picture of Cary from the Gunga Din film. Most of the rooms had a motion picture theme from the films that were filmed in the region.
Rooms are clean. Our room had a very small shower though and the water temp. in the shower fluctuated occasionally. Bed was clean and comfortable. Free breakfast in morning has a nice variety of food and is well displayed. Was not happy with parking though. Spaces are very small. We were driving a 2016 SUV ford explorer and barely had room to get out. Looked out the window the following morning to a woman with her door wide open and banging into the side of my new car. I had to open the window and ask her to not bang into my car. The staff were wonderful though and overall we enjoyed our stay.
What I call the "name" rooms (on the south side of the hotel), are huge and comfortable. Large microwave and refrigerator under the TV are big plusses. Lots of space in the bathroom area makes it great for people traveling together. Internet was extremely fast and always available. The breakfast area is large and well-stocked. i always get there early, so maybe that's the key. If the hotel is full, then yes, they use up what they have. It happens. Lots of restaurants in town, that you have to drive to, but that's minor. And the location, with the view of Mt. Whitney, can't be beat. Would never stay anywhere else in Lone Pine.
Lone Pine is a lovely little town with a fabulous view and this Best Western is set up to take advantage of it. The hotel came recommended and I was delighted when we arrived. If this location is on your agenda, make reservations early, as everyone else seems to have the same idea. Pets are welcome as well. We found our room to be very clean and quite comfortable, with easy access and plainly marked parking outside the door. The room had two doors, one to the back to sit on the patio and enjoy the mountain view to the west. It securely locks after one comes back in. Great breakfasts. BW is known for this and we were not disappointed. Friendly front desk people who were willing to go the extra mile. Close in town location to find the evening meal with many good choices. I would have liked to stay again on my way through going the other direction, but they were full.
Way beyond our expectation. Our day with our kids at Yosemite was awesome and punctuated so well with our experience at Best Western plus Frontier Motel. Margarita was working at the front desk alone during a convention of sorts with some inebriated but pleasant guests and still went out of her way to find us a last minute room and to ensure all of our needs were met. She was grace under pressure. Our room was beautiful. She even helped me register for a Best Western rewards account, since we stayed at Best Western Saunora last night, and had another awesome experience there. This place is a diamond in the rough, and I mean that, given the places we stopped before that were gnarly and overpriced. Anyway, we have been highly impressed so far with Best Western. This property was great, and in a beautiful location!
Rooms have been updated since my last stay - very attractive and nicely done. The room and bathroom were very clean and well stocked. Pool area was clean...pool was cold but refreshing. Wish there was a hot tub for soaking muscles tired from hiking! We tried to get the "included" breakfast at 9am on Saturday morning, but there was literally nothing to eat - the pastries were empty, hot food empty, no yogurt or cereal to be had. We asked the gal at the front desk and were told they were working on restocking it. We waited for 10 minutes. All they brought out was a small amount of mini muffins. We couldn't wait any longer so we left with no breakfast, and that makes the value of this motel go way down.
Our queen room was small, but otherwise top-notch. We noted that the two-queen rooms were much more spacious. Our room had a small frig, the larger rooms have a microwave as well. Everything is neat, clean, freshly-painted and works as intended. Everything is on one floor. Parking is in a designated space just outside your room. Breakfast offers eggs, bacon, potatoes, cereal, bread, limited fruit and the usual drinks. The location is not within easy walking distance of the downtown area, but that is about the only negative. It is not even a negative when the view across the street is a pasture and Mt. Whitney!
This hotel is very spacious and comfortable. It seemed like a mid century classic, almost like a place where Desi and Lucy sould have visited. I would like to return and stay a week.. Good breakfast too. Nice field for walking pets. Very quiet but was located on highway.
Super Clean facility and easy access at the south end of town. Easy parking. Pool onsite. Fitness room. Shower has a rotating, high pressure hot water nozzle, excellent after a long day of hiking at Mount Whitney. Overall was very happy with facility. Owner is a supporter of Warrior Hike Charity which is also a charity I support,
This was one of the nicest Best Westerns we stayed at on this trip. The ease of accessing the room with single level parking right outside. The staff was extremely friendly and the girl working in the breakfast room did a great job keeping all the food supplied and always had a smile on her face. We would definitely stay here again.
Our family had a really great time on this hotel. It was supposed to be an improvised option just to put a break on a long shot drive between LA and Lake Tahoe, but it turned out to be an amazing experience. The room is huge, everything very well mantained and comfortable. The breakfast exceeds by far the ordinary for this kind of hotels. The staff is lovely. The lady responsible for the breakfast buffet gave us some really awesome advise about the local touristic spots, which made out trip much more pleasant. I can't find words to say how far that hotel overcame our expectations.
We received a lovely welcome, but if you want to dine or socialise you have a long walk on the side of unlit roads on a main thoroughfare for large trucks. Lone Pine is a fantastic place to stay, steeped with western film history
This little motel in Lone Pine has never disappointed us on our way along Rt. 395. We stayed two nights on this trip to see some of the sights in the area. Very comfortable place and the breakfast was a nice start for the day.
We stayed at this hotel three nights out of a six-night jaunt through the Eastern Sierras. Lone Pine is a great location as it is midway along the range. There are plenty of good restaurants (especially Seasons) and lots to do right around Lone Pine, including the film museum, Manzanar, and the Alabama Hills. Plus, Lone Pine is the only town from which to view Mt. Whitney (the highest peak in the contiguous States). And you can gaze upon it as you float/lounge around the hotel pool. The rooms are clean and comfy. The breakfast includes the fastest little pancake makin' machine in the West. But the staff is what brought us back the third night. They do this hotel a great service and more, providing guests with information, extra conveniences, and even daring do when necessary. For many reasons, Lone Pine was my favorite town on the trip. And this hotel was part of what made the Lone Pine experience so great.
Three of my friends and I took a motorcycle trip from Carson City to Las Vegas by way of Death Valley, and stopped for the night in Lone Pine. This Best Western motel is located right on highway 395 just one mile from the highway that lead to Death Valley. The view of Mt. Whitney and the Alabama hills was amazing! Our rooms were clean, comfortable, and included a refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave oven, and large flat screen TV. The free breakfast included eggs, waffles, assorted pastries, fruit, yogurt, juice, and coffee..a perfect start for continuing our ride! We would stay again when traveling through the area.
Needed a pet-friendly motel for one night. Best Western Frontier offered exactly what we needed, at a great price, and with only one day advanced booking. Desk staff were helpful and friendly, our room was spotless and comfortable, and I can see no reason to stay anywhere else. Lone Pine is a great place, and whatever brings you to the region, the Best Western Frontier will be a great place to rest your weary head.
The BW Frontier Motel in Lone Pine reminded me of family trips with stops at motels along the highway. The motel has that one-story look and cozy feel to it. Of course it is clean and well-managed for a comfortable one-night stay, but it is fun, too. Some of the rooms are decorated with western movie character photos and names on the doors. I also like the pancake maker at breakfast--fast and tasty.
Nice hotel with good rooms. Clean and with good space. Good breakfast and had a nice pool. Located next to a road which had little traffic. Walking distance to lone pine center. I would go back to this hotel again.
A nice, clean, well presented place not quite in the center of Lone Pine but close enough. Between the visitor center and the main drag. Room was clean. Very comfortable bed with in room coffee maker, though as with other hotels in the bathroom!. The view towards Mt Whitney was awesome from my room and the nice swimming pool. Breakfast was served from 5 am which is great for hikers wanting to hit the trail early. And what a breakfast!!...cheese omelets, bacon, sausage. delicious potatoes and everything else you need. The parking spaces were cramped and coming back from town it was awkward turning right into the hotel if there were cars flying along behind you. I , a few times drove half mile past then done a u turn. Apart from that a very nice place.
We stayed here just for a day to get to Lake Tahoe, actually the 2nd time already. The rooms are ok and clean. We have never been disappointed so next time we would stay here again. Good breakfast that you can enjoy outside with a phenomenal view to the Sierra Nevada.
Great little place in Lone Pine with fantastic views of the mountains. Bathrooms aren't the biggest but ok for the one night we stayed. Breakfast is good for a motel and swimming pool is good too. Great location for the Western Film Museum, Alabama Hills and the Manazar Relocation Camp which is a must visit.
Lovely spacious room with the most comfortable bed and pillows I've ever slept on in a hotel/motel. The staff were quick and efficient and the breakfast very satisfying. Would definatently stay here again if I'm in the area.
Everyone friendly location. Rooms large and clean. Facility very quiet at night even though it is on the main road in the area. Loved how you walk outside or the main lobby, or the breakfast room you have the Alabama Hills and Mt Witney to look at. Beautiful.
If you're looking for a place to access the Alabama Hills, this is the place. First off, the lobby, the grounds and my room were spotless. Good size room would be perfectly comfortable for two people and their stuff. The bathroom was very clean and surprisingly large. Breakfast is a pretty good spread. Fresh eggs, sausage and bacon. Cereal, fresh fruit and juice. Best of all, they start serving at 5A. The pool and the pool area were also clean and the pool furniture in great shape. I'd definitely stay here again.
I love this hotel and have stayed here before. The room was very clean and spacious. Good complete breakfast included. It's located in a lovely little frontier style town and the highlight for us is the nearby Alabama Hills where a lot of the old western movies were shot. That is a good reason to stay at least 1 night in Lone Pine.
This hotel is in an excellent location. It's a bit out of town but has an amazing view of the Sierra Nevadas on one side and the Inyo Mountains on the other. Highway 395 out front is busy but it didn't disturb us. Good breakfast, good WiFi all included. We stopped there again on the way back when it was warmer and the pool was very tempting.
We spent 3 nights at the BW Plus Frontier Motel in Lone Pine. It has been newly renovated and is really quite nice. The bathroom was very large. The sleeping area is cozy, but met our needs just fine. The breakfast area is also newly renovated and had nice selections. We enjoyed our breakfast all three mornings. The pool was open and we spent an afternoon lounging beside and getting a bit of sun. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
This hotel has been here for a long time but all the usual Best Western amenities are available. Great location with views of Mount Whitney. Try to get a room farther back from the highway to avoid the traffic noise. Nice outdoor pool area and very good breakfast. A short walk into town for available restaurants although I suspect most people will drive.
Not the newest or most luxurious motel ever, but perfect for the location and what I needed. The room was exceptionally clean, fresh (meaning, it didn't smell like anything but clean), and the bed, while soft, was very comfortable. The property was well cared for, and I would recommend this motel to others.
Although it appears when driving up to hotel may seem outdated, we stayed in one of the buildings towards the back and all rooms have been updated and beds comfortable. Pool was clean with plenty of towels supplied and the surrounding area clean. Nice little refrid; clean bath and loved that we could open the windows. Great views of the Eastern Sierra. Food okay but not great. Worth the stay. We would stay here again.
Check in & check out was easy, great Breakfast & service. Close to Mt Whitney & town . The rooms were kept clean & modern with Jacuzzi bath available, didn't use it cause just traveling thru. It was sold out so make sure u make reservations at least a day before. They give Government rate & AAA.
Considering that I am a picky person especially when it comes to hotels, I was very stratified with Best Western Plus. The rooms were clean, and the breakfast was fantastic.. they had a variety of food to choose from. :)
I generally stay at less expensive, less quality motels. However, I brought my moderately handicapped wife along to look at some property in Lone Pine. I called the night before to make reservations and asked specifically for an ADA compliant room. One was available so I reserved it. Exterior accessibility was excellent and easily allowing us to use both her wheelchair and quad cane at different times when going in and out of the room. Interior of the room was very spacious, bathroom was HUGE. Because of this experience, I will be taking my wife with me on more trips and will specifically seek out and stay at Best Western Motels/Hotels.
Stayed one night here as a first time in a Best Western. Clean comfortable and peaceful. The rooms are spacious with all you could need. Breakfast adequate. Delightful view of Sierra Nevada mountains from the parking area. All in all we were very happy here and would recommend
I've stayed at this hotel multiple times and have found the staff to be very accommodating as well as helpful. Both times we checked into our room many hours before check-in time. The breakfast is quite large as far at "FREE" breakfasts are concerned and there is something for all diets and tastes. You can sit outside the hotel and the pool area to get fabulous views of Mt. Whitney when the weather is good. The best deal in town!
A simple but lovely hotel that offers everything you would like in a one night stop. Lone pine itself is beautiful and a surprising green and luscious area after travelling through death valley. The hotel offers simple but well maintained and furnished room. The welcome was warm and friendly. There is a swimming pool in the middle of the car park and some chairs and tables so you can sit outside on a warm evening. The breakfast was delicious with a waffle maker, fruit, cereal, yoghurt, hot food and variety of drinks.
If you are "ungreeted" by the same individual we were, so desperately unclear on the concept of the hospitality business, you may have trepidations. Don't be scared. The basic minimal amenities of Best Western are there: good bed, tub, fridge, microwave, wifi. Kids can go crazy in the pool and you can sit outside. With simple flick of the wrist you can transform the hard spherical rock into an actual pillow (untuck the pillowcase). If you examine the labels on the shampoo dispensers on the wall in the bathroom BEFORE you get in there without your glasses you can save yourself a dripping trip. We rebooked for the return trip not because it was nice, but because it could be a lot worse. Fourth day of road trip, anyone cranky? We stick with Best Western because for the price even when it's uninspired it's still workable.
We stayed here overnight during a western road trip, breaking up the drive between Orange County, California and Boise, Idaho. The hotel was clean, quiet, and welcoming. The breakfast included with our stay was top notch as far as continental breakfasts go. The view of Mount Whitney right from the hotel was spectacular.
We stayed one night and had a room with two queen beds. The room was surprisingly spacious and clean. We had 3 adults in the room so it was nice that there was some extra space. Breakfast in the morning was good and hot with a lot of different choices. The staff at the front desk was friendly and service prompt. Pool and outside tables were nice but it was too cold out to swim. We will definitely be back!!
This hotel is nice it was clean and comfortable the staff was nice! I wished they would have turned on the heater in the pool sooner then that. We were there April 29th. Overall I would stay there again.
I have stayed at this hotel for many years on many trips to Mammoth Lakes. it is always clean comfortable and quiet. The theme rooms are very large and away from the street. The staff has always been very helpful and cheerful . They go out of their way to be kind. And of course the view from the breakfast room is just fantastic. I would give this place 5 stars every time.
Great stay in a great location close to the Alabama Hills and Mt Whitney. Room was clean and had plenty of space for everything. Quiet in the evenings, no noise from neighbors or the highway. I liked this motel.
The Best Western brought a return to normality after leaving unreal DV ( not just the landscapes). The room was spacious and comfortable with good facilities. And the pool was a great bonus. On closer inspection the windows were old and far from robust, the aircon unit was in a recess and didn't cool the room effectively, and the taps on the bath and shower were screwed on so tight they needed brute force to open them. And then they dripped all night. The breakfast room was better than some other BWs and the food on offer was above average. A healthy start to the day was quite possible. And a friendly lady kept everything shipshape. All in all a pretty good place to rest for a couple of days.
Whenever we are in this area we stay here. The staff is always super friendly. The rooms are always neat and clean. The breakfast is always hot and/or fresh. Best Western hotels/motels always provide a great value for a reasonable price.
The choice to stay at this location was made by our group leader based on his prior experience in Lone Pine. I am happy to say that I agree with the selection. I found Frontier Motel to be clean and convenient. The staff was very friendly. The wireless internet connection was very good.
GREAT place up to date rooms comfy beds great breakfast lots of space nice pool..just a bit out of town but nice view of Mt Whitney and eastern sierra mountains good night sleep.. they had office you could use for printing
The Best Western is my choice in Lone Pine. Comfortable room, easy parking, and a great (and early) breakfast. A glitch with computers at check in was easily handled by staff. Simply a fine base for enjoying the Eastern Sierra.
Television reception not good...Refrigerator was loud. We had to turn it off. Room was clean. Our room was next to main highway. This is why I gave it an average rating. Parking was nearby room. Several good restaurants were also nearby.
We like it because the room was clean and roomy we stay in the Gregory Peck room. the breakfast was good and we had internet with no problems. It was easy to find as the next day we were headed to Death Valley. The cost was very good also and if you wanted there was a lot to do there if staying longer.
We arrived at the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel after a 3 day stay at the Stovepipe Wells Inn in Death Valley. After a fast check-in we entered our room and felt in luxury in comparison the the Death Valley experience. Wifi, bright clean bathroom, a desk, etc. plus breakfast. All this came at half the price of Death Valley. We found wonderful adventures in the Alabama Hills, Whitney Portal, Fish Hatchery and educational experience at Manzanar. Friendly staff and nice accommodations made our stay very enjoyable.
Manzanar, the location of the internment of Japanese living on the West Coast at the start of WWII, many of whom were U.S. citizens, is about 10 miles North of the Motel. Our room at the motel was relatively large, clean and well-appointed (TV and small refrigerator in the room), all for a very reasonable price. The staff was cheerful, friendly and helpful.
Very good motel if you are traveling CA Hwy 395. Rooms and beds were very comfortable, and breakfast was quite good. Was worried about the truck traffic noise on 395 but that was no problem once in our room. Had stayed in Dow Villa previously, but will definitely consider BW Frontier next trip.
We stayed here for two nights while visiting Death Valley. I had requested a quiet room, so the desk clerk gave us a room tucked into the back of the hotel; it was just what we wanted. The unit was roomy and comfortable. Decent breakfast buffet in a smallish breakfast room. Most of the rooms are named after Hollywood stars, especially ones from Western movies, in tribute to the many movies filmed in the nearby Alabama Hills. Glorious views of the Sierras right across the street.
Best Western Plus Lone Pine is a place to always count on consistency. Their rooms have been upgraded very nicely and the beds are comfortable. Rooms are clean and decorated nicely. The hotel is across the street from a great view of Mt. Whitney
