Location is just fine; however, this hotel is very run down and in need of an update. The carpet is worn and should be replaced. It was about 80 degrees during the day that we arrived (unseasonably warm); however, the air conditioner in our room did not blow refrigerated air. We had to leave the window open in order to cool the room. As a result, we heard street traffic all night long. While the bed was fine, the pillows were very hard. Needless to say, we did not get a lot of sleep. We have stayed across the street at the Holiday Inn Express several times before and it was much nicer, though it is more expensive. Additionally, we routinely stay at La Quinta Inn's because they accept our small dog and this one is substandard compared to just about every other La Quinta Inn where we have stayed. We stay overnight in Bishop a few times a year and we will stay at the Holiday Inn Express next time.

We stopped in Bishop because we realized we couldn't make the long drive home from Reno to San Diego. We pulled in town around 7pm and had no idea where to go. We had 2 dogs and a 1 year old and I am very picky about clean hotels that don't smell of smoke! This hotel had vacancy and were so nice. It was a great room (better than the ones we had been at during our trip that I researched). We were so glad we made the stop and will stay there from now on.

We supposedly got the last room. It was $118.00 for a small room with 2 beds, no refrigerator or microwave. Bathroom was very small. A large person would have been very uncomfortable getting through the narrow doorway. A couple weeks prior we stayed at a La Quinta in Las Vegas for less than $60.00. Large room with refrigerator & microwave. Breakfast area was very nice and well stocked.

Arrived late evening after a long day driving from Yosemite and was looking forward to a well deserved beer and a bite. On arrival was told by the most unhelpful and basically rude receptionist that my reservation had been cancelled and if I wanted a room I would have to pay the current rate which happened to be around $40 more than my reservation. She also claimed that they only had one room left so if I didnt like I should look elsewhere so I had little choice as all other hotels were showing no vacancies. I stood in the lobby and watched her sell that last room at least 8 times over! - A scam for sure preying on tired tourists driving up from Vegas or from Yosemite with little choice late at night.

My credit card company is investigating and it sounds like I`ll get some of my money back as I have proof of reservation but this is one hotel to avoid. Sad thing is the room was ok. At breakfast the receptionist was the talk of the crowd so I felt better knowing I wasnt being unreasonable in my assessment of her.
