"Clean and pet friendly."

"easy access ground level rooms perfect for any early start for backpacking"

"What I liked most was the brick walls. Didn't hear any neighbors, outside noises. Clean and comfortable. And the front desk was very friendly and helpful."

"We were disappointed in the Trails Motel. I was reminded of motels that my family stopped at in the 50's and 60's; while some of the features in the room had been updated there wasn't much change. If we find ourselves in Lone Pine again, we would definitely be looking for somewhere else to stay."

"This was the perfect retreat to come home to after an exhausting day of hiking. The rooms were clean and stocked with linens, kitchen was fully equipped with appliances and utensils for cooking, bathroom was spacious and stocked with towels and toiletries. We will definitely return!"

"The place was clean the air conditioner worked perfectly. The person at the desk was very helpful. We got there late, and I asked him if anyone in town would deliver food. He said no. It is a small town. A few minutes later, he knocked on our door to let us know the restaurants might close if we waited too long. Thankfully, he did we made it just before the store closed."

"Very functional, if quaint for a small place. Thoughtful hosts left snacks and drinks. Would stay here again for one night visit."

"Don’t judge this place by the outside- this little motel ended up being exactly what I needed after an intense hike. The room is small, as expected, but perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for a clean, comfortable place to shower, cool off, and rest. The AC absolutely cranks, which was heaven after being out in the heat all day. The owners have added so many thoughtful touches: toothbrushes, single-use toothpaste, makeup remover wipes, bath gels, plus a mini fridge and microwave in the room. When I checked in, I was greeted with bottled water, fruit, and cookies, such a kind welcome after a long day. There are also cute patios with hanging lights where you can sit and eat takeout, and there’s even a homemade ice cream shop right next door with a really vibey outdoor patio. One of the owners mentioned a nearby trail just behind the motel, and I’m so glad I listened. I ended up walking through the beautiful Mary DeDecker native plant garden alongside a babbling creek with little bridges and an incredible sunset view over the mountain ridge. It turned into one of the highlights of my trip. This place may not look like much from the outside, but it has heart, kindness, and everything you actually need for a peaceful stay."
