I had bedbug bites from hell. This place is a serious health violation. The manager who checked us in was a complete AS%^&(ole. Never again. There was zero information in the room as far as where to eat. Not even a phone book. I'll probably have to see a doctor to get rid of the scabies.

We left, after a one night stay on our trip to Yosemite and Mono Lake, with several bed bug bites and a ridicuously expensive bill considering the basic, rather shabby accomodations! Lee Vining is a tiny town with other options, or better yet, stay in Mammoth Lakes.

This was the most expensive (per night) stay on our 1500 mile road trip and chosen because of its proximity to Moro Lake and the start of the Tioga Pass and it was the worst value. The place is shabby, cheaply constructed and offers few facilities for the guests. The photos on the website are VERY flattering!
Check-in was literaly, 'Here's the key, the room's over there.' That was our greeting. The room with two queen beds did have a view of the lake - just! At least our room was not at the side of the very busy road as some are. Make sure that you check and avoid these.
The bed covers were a dark maroon satiny affair. I'm sorry but I like my bedding to be light coloured so that I can SEE that it is clean. Anything else is rather unsavoury. In addition, the sheets were un-ironed. Not acceptable.
The room and the (very small) bathroom were clean.
There WAS free wi-fi but there was no fridge, hair dryer, ironing board or iron nor a safe.
WE chose to stay here, nobody forced us, and accommodation is limited in the area, but it was a disappointing experience given the high standards of hospitality and facilities we have found everywhere else in the U.S.
Nicely's across the road was a friendly place to eat.

This place has it's charm but don't expect anything fancy at all, just a place to rest your head although it is a great location where you can walk across the street to three different restaurants for dinner or breakfast. The town and this motel made me feel like I stepped back in time to the 50's but it was fun. There is a lakeview from this motel as well, the lake is awesome.
