We stay in bishop all the time and we love this motel super clean quiet with kitchens and free wifi it has all we need this motel even offers local restaurant discounts so friendly and helpfull will always come back!

My wife and I spent a weekend at the Bishop Village Motel. I should have read Trip Advisor first.

I was originally quoted a particular rate by phone, but when I got there the total price was nearly $50 more for the weekend. The manager shrugged and didn't have an answer - or apology - as to why her promised rate had gone up, other than to blame some tricky new reservation system she was using. Oops!

Then I discovered a charge to my credit card for an additional night I didn't stay (oddly, at the original rate I had been quoted). By phone the manager blamed that pesky reservation system again. Oops!

It took nearly a month and multiple phone calls to the motel manager to reverse the erroneous, additional night's charge. Throughout the entire process the manager blamed her reservation system for all the delays and run around, never once apologizing for my trouble. She never once called me back or followed up though she promised to do so numerous times. If I didn't hound this woman the reversal would simply never have happened. Oops!

- Interesting how other TripAdvisor users have been complaining about these very same "accidental" overcharges and problems with refunds for YEARS, and it is always the fault of some evil reservations system which is out of management's control.

- Interesting how all of the "mistakes" always accrue to the motel's favor.

The Bishop Village Motel: wildly incompetent, or untrustworthy? You make the call.

Accommodations in the eastern sierras are absurdly expensive, and the Bishop Village Motel is no bargain, but at $90 a night (plus taxes) for a room with two beds and a kitchenette it wasn't outrageously expensive either. Our room was large, clean and tidy, though tired and outdated. It was quite large, with a queen size bed and a double bed. The beds and bedding were fairly comfortable. The kitchenette was small and there were only 2 chairs, but it wasn't too big a deal for one night. A larger problem was the lack of internet access - the wireless did not reach that side of the hotel and the wired internet did not seem to work.

The manager was very nice, and my kids liked her dog and cat.

I have been traveling up and down highway 395 regularly since 1986 and have stayed in many different motels in Bishop. Last year the Village Motel was recommended to me by an aquaintance who cited the reasonable rates and comfortable accomodations. I gave it a shot and have been staying there every time I pass through Bishop. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rates are reasonable year round and I really enjoy the quiet surroundings off the highway.

Over the months since I first stayed there, I have encountered many fellow guests who make this motel their regular place to stay in Bishop. I am looking forward to my next visit.
