The only negative we have comds with a positive...the room was very clean but the lemon smell from the cleaner used was so overpowering! We had to open the windows and turn on the A/C just to ventilatr the room and make it breathable. Aside from this, our stay was wondedul. The pool was warm and the hot tub was hot! Great place to stop and stay a while.

Lovely sized rooms and sofa bed. Shower left a bit to be desired, turning it on was tricky. Location was good. Area outside room was good too, though didn't get time to enjoy it properly. Hot-tub was the size of a thimble and bubbles didn't work so bit of a bummer there. Overall a nice stay, Bridgeport is unique.

The room was clean and charming with a small back deck and view of the walker river. There was the cutest little cottontail bunny hopping around on the lawn. The pool and hot tub were clean and it was the perfect spot to unwind after our long drive. Would absolutely stay here again.

Sink faucet was extremely hard to use and water was very dirty. We didn't trust the showers. Felt unclean. Sliding glass door had only a very small bolt added to it since original mechanism had failed. Front door did not feel safely shut. We entered a hot room since heater was left on. Way too expensive for what we got. No snacks or food. Scenery was very nice with little stream but just a gross place overall. Needs massive upgrades.

I don't think the room was worth the high cost. Older decor, beds were rock hard and AC was soo loud on the low setting, that it was hard to sleep. The town is cute but almost $300 a night is a little steep for what you get and no breakfast.

Left 1 x day early as: no hot water on morning after driving 450mi to Bridgeport. Was informed there would be no help after 10pm….as a matter of course. PTAC was too noisy to operate. Toilets are old, don’t flush well and are too low for most male adults. Lots of flies in my room and bed is ridged in the middle. In other words, the mattress needs to be flipped or replaced. Lots of outside noise at 0205 from either a motorcycle or quad bike roaring up and down Main St. Quiet after several Police cars turned up. Sign outside says “Voted best motel in California”…….my big, fat foot!

The owner of the hotel, Roxanne, is informative, friendly and out-going. She is a wealth of knowledge on the local community and offered great suggestions. Unbelievably she even asked if we had any discount cards or belonged to any groups looking to save us some money even after we agreed to pay the Hotels.com fee. She ended up saving us $20 -- unheard of in today's world. Kudos to Roxanne for truly out-standing customer service! We will go out of our way to stay at Walker River Lodge next time through the area.

Our trip required chains to come over Carson pass which we were not prepared for and it took us a lot longer to get to the hotel. But the woman at the front desk was super accommodating and left us a key so that we could get there anytime after our trek and all I had to do was visit her in the morning at the front desk too check out. She was super nice and super commentating. Very grateful for that. Room had wonderful heaters and all the right places and a wonderful bathtub and shower. Very warm and cozy. We had a great stay and sleep.
