Tioga Lodge At Mono Lake

Pretty landscaping. Cute rooms. However, right on highway, so a little noisy.

Great stay at the banks of Mono Lake. The manager gave us the advice that the sunrise would be spectacular at 6:00 and it was! The cabins are simple but functional and clean. There is some outside seating we made use of. Parking is right on the property in our case right in front of the room. The property is on a busy street which did not bother us, though. The restaurant in the lodge is not open this (2023) season but going to the city of Lee Vining to eat is no big deal, it is a short drive.

We stayed one night on Thursday and I think we were the only one there. So we had a very quiet and private time. A very charming, beautiful garden with a small creek running through. My dog loved running around. It is right across from Mono Lake. We got up early to watch the sunrise as the friendly staff strongly recommended it. Glad we did because it was breathtaking! They had a nice deck with benches built to sit and watch the sunrise. That was outstanding. They are currently building a stage to host concerts and events. That would be really charming. The 395 runs right in the front but no noise bothered us over night. In the morning time, you hear trucks go by seldomly. We are early risers and it didn't bother us at all. The room was huge with a king size bed, cozy living room, fully stocked kitchen and a Large Refrigerator. The white towels were clean and fluffy, I was impressed. I highly recommend it.

Nice clean rooms with great views of Mono Lake. They do have seating outside to just relax and enjoy the veiw.

It seems like a good and convenient place to me. It's steps from Mono Lake, very close to Tioga Pass (entrance to Yosemite Park), Bodie ghost town and hot springs in Bridgeport. Surrounded by nature, beautiful views and tranquility. You can read a book, meditate or do grounding under the trees. Beautiful cabins, clean and impeccable with everything necessary for the stay. The staff is very friendly; Especially Gladis was very kind and explained to me what was necessary for my stay. I usually visit the area and I find it to be one of the best places to spend the night in the area.

I like the location. It is easier to go Virginia Lake and Silver Lake. My room has a window that faces Mono Lake. I can see sunrise from my window. The garden is beautiful. They don’t have a restaurant on site, but Lee Vining is near by.

Very rustic. Was disappointed the restaurant had closed for the season. Around the hot/ cold water in the sink was crusty with corroded minerals. Floor near tub was in need of repair. Like I already noted, it’s very rustic. However, it was clean, bed comfortable and it’s pet friendly, for an additional fee.

We arrived at night. It is very, very dark around the hotel. The party lights weren't much help finding where one enters. 395, while a beautiful highway, is the main route for the Eastern Sierra. Big semis hurl down it's two lanes. Once we were able to find the entrance, we had to phone the clerk/manager? This is an old establishment. Not easily accessible to anyone with mobility issues. The step to our concrete patio was badly tilted, slippery when icy. The floors are ceramic tile, hard and cold. Our room had beautiful old windows and the view of Mono lake is spectacular. The restaurant was closed so you'd need to drive a few miles into town to get something. Fortunately they provide a microwave (old and struggling) and a fridge

A very charming property set right along highway 395 and in a wood shaded area that also has a river running through it. There are plenty of outdoor space to relax and enjoy the view of Mono Lake across the highway. Very beautiful and scenic. It can be a bit loud with the cars but we didn't mind. No TV, Wi-Fi is available but there was enough connection (T-Mobile) for emails and web browsing. It's a cabin in the woods. All amenities enough for what we needed. Wouldn't mind coming back next time we're in the area.

Very clean, with an old-fashioned look. Beautiful setting, above Mono Lake, close to town of Lee Vining. Some are individual cabins, but my "cabin" was a room (#9, "Vintners cabin") comprising the top half of an A-frame. I picked it because it had a large window looking right over Mono Lake (across the highway, but 395 is a small highway). Amazing view. Pretty room with an old-fashioned look - antique desk and pretty upholstered chair, wrought-iron-looking bed. This property is quaint and charming, small but has a little bridge over a rushing creek, cabins scattered around. Right on 395 so you will hear some highway noise, which didn\'t bother me. I heard no other noise. Lawn outside with a table or two. I was coming after the office closed (9pm) so staff left my key pinned to bulletin board at the office. Office building is a bit hard to find if you are coming from the north! It\'s past the first cabins/ first parking pullout. Parking a bit tight, and not necessarily available immediately next to your cabin, at least if you come late like I did. Most of the cabins are not wheelchair-accessible, the grounds are sloping, grassy with some unevenness - depending where you park a few steps up and down the grounds may be needed to get between car and cabin. And into cabin.

The property looks wonderful and the room was clean and very comfortable. Staff was responsive and friendly and booking change was handled smoothly. I would stay again and recommend to travelers and visitors to Mono Lake!

Lovely little lodge, very clean and had everything we needed for our 1 night stay. Absolutely stunning sunrise from the front door.

When we got to our room the fan was missing a blade and the air conditioner was not working so it was super hot in our room. When I pulled the bedding down there was a dead bug in my bed. After we laid down the ceiling fan broke and one of the blades hit my husband in the head. We tried to tell the front desk this morning but they was closed! I will NOT be staying there again and I will not recommend this hotel!

Very nice and comfortable, beautiful surroundings, well maintained outside and inside

The hotel is a little old, but the room was clean and very comfortable. The property has a beautiful view to the lake. The staff was very helpful and professional. Convenient stay if you're visiting Yosemite or Bodie.

We had the best stay here, comfy beds, beautiful views, and good restaurants near by. Highly recommend this place

Asthetics? Yes. Great there. Amenities? No. No TV. No Wi-Fi (Offered, but signal is horrible). Wish the tub came with instructions. No shower; surprise. The floor needs dusting and mopping. Small everything: small bed (and I'm short), small table, barely 1.5 seats available. Great views to the lake. Have to drive out for everything.

Property was in disrepair (flickering lights, door didn’t lock, etc). Loud noise from the highway. Found bugs in the bed.

Thought this would be a cute place to stay. Our cabin #7 was very old. It was surface clean and bed and towels were clean. Unfortunately there is no tv and no air conditioning, which at 104° is not nice. Thankfully the night does cool off but the road noise was relentless so sleep was very poor. No restaurant on property. The worst part of this room was we had a horrible ant infestation. Disgusting, the ants literally were pooring through the window and cracks in bathroom wall. The worst for us was that we were traveling from Canada down to Yosemite park to meet up with our son and this was our 5th hotel and the most expensive on trip so far and that we had to deal with the ants. It was not pleasant

More than expected! The grounds of the lodge have lovely shade trees, multiple seating areas, a stream, and a great view of Mono Lake. The room was spacious and clean. Check-in was fast. Yes, there is a bit of road noise, but we played ocean sounds on the phone and slept soundly.

Stunning views of Mono Lake. Would go back.

Clean room with comfortable bed. Places to sit to enjoy nature. Allows dogs. The negative, and it's a big one, is the sound of traffic all through the night and morning on nearby Hwy. 395. Despite the lovely view and setting, the rooms are just too close to the highway. This could be mitigated by investment in double- or triple-paned windows, which would keep out the noise.

Great location.Could see the sunrise from our window.manager v.helpful with recommendations. Wifi not working at all,and Aircondition was not v.effective.so had to open window ,traffic noise too much for sleep.

Room was nice and the theme was well put together. The room was clean and tidy. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Although, the WiFi didn’t work at all, we could only get a connection when stood outside the cabin but still no internet. The cabins would benefit hugely from WiFi repeaters as we were only the second cabin from the lobby building. The blinds were broken in the bedroom which meant waking up with the sun, they were the only bit that didn’t fit with the rooms theme also as office blinds. Would look amazing if both sets were swapped out for tartan style blackout curtains. Sprinklers came on in the evening luckily we saw them from the window as the spray hit the cabins front door and entrance path. Overall it was an okay to stay for one night and benefitted greatly from being next to Mono Lake with nice gardens. Would be spot on with WiFi and better window dressings.

Clean and cute cabin with a nice but noisy view of mono lake. Shower is a bit odd. Just a few minutes to Lee Vinning, which has nothing to recommend it. Buy groceries before you arrive

Room was HOT...Had to open the windows for air!

The rooms have no TVs or Air Conditioning.

Nice view of Mono Lake. There are no personnel on site. No air conditioning. No TV. Poorly laid carpet. Property needs a huge update. Wifi was intermittent. Definitely not worth the price paid.

Room was clean. We had steep stairs to navigate which would have been nice to know about before. Checked in and were on our own. Staff not super welcoming. Noisy highway traffic all night but they cannot help that part. No TV.

Gladis, manager, is wonderful. Was able to extend our stay an extra night without having us move rooms. Our room was clean and comfortable. We would stay again when we head to the Eastern Sierras. Thank you!

Not a a friendly staff and very few amenities for the price point.

Gladis was very nice during check in. Even made sure we knew what time sunrise over Mono lake was which I thought was very thoughtful. The entire place was very clean and had so much charm!

I had never stayed at a hotel with broken door lock, nor had to wait 15min at empty front desk to check-in.

Excellent place, extremely clean! Worth every penny. Gldis is marvelous!

All good. But Expedia notes check in of 3.00pm vs actual check in of 4.00pm at the property

Staffing was great 👍!

I was visiting Lee Vining to attend a music venue that evening. I tried to check in around 3pm so I could go to the venue and park for the evening. I thought the wood on the ramp was going to give way. The office door was locked, the parking lot empty. The place looked abandoned. I couldn’t take a chance that the office would again be closed after the venue, so I left town, missing the venue and hotel stay altogether. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.

Didn’t check in until 5pm and room still wasn’t ready. Cabin was very cute

Perfectly charming place to stay. Great view of Mono lake. This is not a luxury hotel which I like. It is a place that has been here for years yet made very comfortable with modern conveniences. Great place to relax and continue the journey. Very close to June lake as well Staff is very friendly

Good value, quaint place. Beautiful view but very close to the highway. Rustic retreat with a great location.

Beautiful location at the lake, but big road with lots of traffic in between.

great location

The location is good, easy to walk to Mono Lake.

The lodge is great!! Only bad part ws we booked because it said on the site 20 mins to yosemite that was a lie its 20 mins to entrance of yosemite its another 2 hrs to get to the tourist hikes uch as el capitan, yosemite falls etc please fix that

Perfect basic lodging for day trips in the Mono Basin and Eastern Sierra. Not long on amenities but the soaking tub in unit 4 was a life saver after a long day of hiking. Right on the lake and rte. 395 and convenient to Lee Vining and Tioga Pass Road.

Excellent location for Yosemite Tioga pass entrance.

I like the location. It is easier to go Virginia Lake and Silver Lake. My room has a window that faces Mono Lake. I can see sunrise from my window. The garden is beautiful. They don’t have a restaurant on site, but Lee Vining is near by.

This is a wonderful lodge sirectly across the street from Mono Lake. It is a great location to visit Yosemite and Mono Lake. A great place to disconnect, relax, read, and enjoy the AMAZING sunrises over the lake.

Close to June Lakes, Yosemite, great views of Mono Lake

Earlier check in would have been better for me. Restaurant was not open as advertised. Otherwise my stay was nice!

Great stay at the banks of Mono Lake. The manager gave us the advice that the sunrise would be spectacular at 6:00 and it was! The cabins are simple but functional and clean.

We had the best stay here, comfy beds, beautiful views, and good restaurants near by. Highly recommend this place

Very noisy by the road. I thought they breakfast but they didn’t. It just needed some cleaning on the deck and chairs. Air conditioning was not good. Inside needed windows and blinds cleans

Clean and cute cabin with a nice but noisy view of mono lake. Shower is a bit odd. Just a few minutes to Lee Vinning, which has nothing to recommend it. Buy groceries before you arrive

The cabin was small but comfortable. The staff was friendly. The furnisings both inside and out are showing wear. The property is on the highway so there is road noise, but it was quiet at night so did not impact sleep. Their restaurant was not open so plan to drive into Lee Vining for meals. I would definitely stay again.there again.

Reasonable roadside motel. Rooms were dated, but reasonably clean. Property is in need of some repairs, and services were minimal. It’s a bit outside of town, which meant short drives for meals or supplies. It does have a beautiful view of the lake, and staff was courteous.
