Big Pine Motel - Big Pine, California

Wonderful little motel! My friend and I stopped here for the Big Pine Lakes hike the following day, when we arrived it was already dark and we were hungry and the sweet lady that owns the motel not only stayed late especially for us, but offered us homemade soup!

The room we had 2 beds and it was very cozy and clean, and we really enjoyed our stay! The Big Pine Lakes trail is also only a 15-20 min drive from the motel, pretty much a straight shot.

Big pine motel was a cute little motel! Very clean and well taken care of! The lady at the front desk was very nice and let me borrow a hairdryer!

Staying in this Motel was the best thing that could have possibly happened to us! The manager is just amazing, she helped us through a very difficult situation- an incredibly kind, helpful and strong human being. Thanks again, so so much!

I had an unplanned stay here for one night due to some car trouble. The proprietress here was very friendly. The room, super clean and recently refurbished, one of the cleanest rooms I've stayed in. I appreciated having a small refrigerator. It is an older and simply appointed establishment. The main structural walls are painted cinder block. One might think block walls would make for good soundproofing, but I found that not to be the case. I had loud-talking neighbors that stayed up very late and had to run the AC all night in order to drown out their noise, even though I would have preferred it off. The AC unit in my room was kind of loud; they always are to some extent, but this one was on the louder end of the spectrum, though not the worst I've experienced. It could be the neighbors were talking loudly to hear themselves over their own loud AC unit. There is a nice picnic area in front of the rooms. I didn't make use of it on this visit but I can see possibly doing so on a future visit. If I ever need a room in Big Pine again, this motel will be my first choice.

My boyfriend and I stayed there for 1 night on our way to Yosemite and I would definitely stay there again. The lady at the front desk was very friendly even when we called her & woke her up at 11pm and asked if she had any rooms left. The room bathroom was clean, bed was clean, AC was working well, there was a small fridge and a TV. Parking was free and it was quiet. Would definitely recommend staying there! No complaints.

Motels like this make me nervous in terms of safety and cleanliness. But the location seemed the most convenient to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. In the end, I'm glad I stayed here. ||||ROOM: It's no frills and the furnishings are outdated, but it was comfortable. The room was clean - the carpeting in particular was in really good condition. The AC unit worked, but when it was 100ºF plus outside, it struggled to produce cool air. I noticed this was also true of the AC unit in my car, however. So I wondered if past a certain temp, they don't work really well. ||||The room had supplies of facial soap and a small bottle of shampoo, which was good enough for me to take a shower. There's also a tiny fridge, which I put my water bottles in. ||||The door has 3 locks. I didn't feel unsafe generally in this area. Big Pine seems like a sleepy, one-horse town. Maybe because it was boiling hot outside.||||SERVICE: The reception desk lady, who I assume is also the owner, is very warm and friendly. A big asset to this establishment.||||VERDICT: I could've stayed in a nicer place in Bishop, but in the end, I'm glad I picked this motel. It was comfortable enough. Plus, it shaved off a few minutes of drive to the forest and I also saved a good chunk of money staying here.

Nice staff, comfortable bed, decent WiFi. Great shower! A good value for the money. The rooms are a little worn, but very clean. There isn’t much to choose from in Big Pine, but this is a dependable option.
