We unplugged the refrigerator, everything we could think of but the grinding sound like when your Keurig starts to brew never ceased. Also, we could annoyingly hear the neighbors laughing into the wee hours of the morning. Lastly, there are no food options in Independence, where the lodge is located. After a long drive from Reno, who wants to drive 30 minutes round-trip to Lone Pine to get food for dinner. We ate from the Mexican food truck, which was less than mediocre. For upwards of $150.00 that we paid for one night, you must be able to find nicer lodging with food options for that price in Lone Pine. I selected the lodge from the high rating and reviews on Expedia (which I do not understand at all) and was terribly disappointed. I hope that you read my review to save yourself the poor experience that I had. ##### Terri Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Laurence Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Spartan, but adequate for an overnight stay. The town is itself is not worth staying at (though it has an awesome view of the Eastern Sierras). ##### Laurence Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Casey Jun 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place was adorable. We stayed in room 4. We appreciated the snacks and charm. The check in was super easy as they text you all the room access. Since we showed up late this worked great for us. ##### Casey Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa Jun 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed our stay at Eastern Sierra Motor Lodge. It was easy to check in and the owner quickly responded when we needed anything. There are very few restaurants in Independence so we had to drive to Lone Pine to eat. There was no grocery store either. ##### Lisa Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Yukihiko Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The office manager who works remotely was very helpful and responsible. ##### Yukihiko Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Steve Sep 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities The building itself is clean and well kept. Would be nice if parking lot was paved. Shower was an afterthought. So tight you can't bend over. ##### Steve Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Darin Nov 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Noisy, cold, cramped, overpriced If you’re into non stop trucks going by less than 20 ft from your bed, if you’re into heaters being too small to keep you and yours warm, if you love your shower not draining and flooding the floor, and you enjoy stubbing your toes on furniture too big for a small room - and you really love over paying for getting no sleep - this place is for you! ##### Darin Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sam Jul 6, 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Our shower was broken - otherwise it was ok. Overpriced for what it was ##### Sam Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed this property. No it is not a Hilton but great in its own way. It is a small motor lodge that is cute, clean, comfortable. It is 15 minutes from Lone Pine. The room is a large basic room with a very comfortable bed. There is a refrigerator, microwave and kettle in the room. A wide range of snacks are in the rooms. (Popcorn, chips, granola bars, and sweets) We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the Adirondack chairs looking at the mountains. We were very happy with this cute motel and will be back. ##### Amy Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### subodh Jul 8, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was not a nice experience. It was the worst place we ever stayed. It wasn't clean and no nightly housekeeping and overpriced. ##### subodh Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16130.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-I.h661796.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntington-Beach-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Huntington-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h890502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h23876.Hotel-Information) > > [Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miramonte-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16768.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embarc-Palm-Desert.h328421.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Villas for COACHELLA 2020 (1st weekend)](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Cochella-Stay-At-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Resort-Villas.h34078793.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Anaheim, CA](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Anaheim.h14910044.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Renaissance-Esmeralda-Resort-Spa.h12274.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Paradise-Point-Resort-Spa.h3731.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Half-Moon-Bay-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h602927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Orange County](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Orange-County.h15965.Hotel-Information) > > [San Diego Mission Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-San-Diego-Mission-Bay-Resort.h25598.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel and Swim Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-And-Swim-Club.h22864.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Palm-Desert.h201084.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Mission-Bay-Spa-And-Marina.h858.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Oasis-Resort.h1180912.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Garden-Grove.h519819.Hotel-Information) > > [Solage, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Calistoga-Hotels-Solage.h1640078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-II.h57218.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim South](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Anaheim-South.h662857.Hotel-Information)
