What guests think

At Lone Pine Budget Inn, travelers describe a simple, older roadside motel that delivers basic, budget-friendly stays with many clean, quiet rooms, walkable access to town and Mt. Whitney amenities, and generally friendly, accommodating service, including very late check-ins.

However, several reviews cite stained carpets, housekeeping lapses, dated furnishings, and noisy or underperforming A/C. Multiple reviews note in-room fridge and microwave and parking right outside rooms, though the small lot can feel tight with overflow to street or rear spaces. Expect a no-frills crash pad suited to hikers and budget travelers who prioritize price and location over polish.

Overall, this place was a great base camp for my day hike up Mt Whitney. The service was excellent, the room was exactly as expected for the money and even had a fridge, and it was close to restaurants/groceries. Highly recommend for someone looking for a well priced room prior to anything in the Whitney Portal!

Although there was a slight language barrier, all of the information needed, was given quickly and easily found. It’s not a fancy room, but very comfortable and spacious room. I particularly like that all the rooms are on ground floor, with a parking space right in front of the door.

The room is exactly as expected. It was clean, nice bed, tv, microwave, and a mini fridge. No frills, a budget motel. There were a couple drawbacks. The curtain in room 21 did not completely cover the window. I would’ve like to have had a hand towel to go along with the bath towel. I would stay here again.

We arrived at 4am, and the Hotel front desk treated us as he has agreed on the phone and message: woke up with a big smile and welcomed us to check in. He even rejected our tips for this. The room is specious and bed is comfortable. Things are clean. It has refrige and microwave. We did not expect more than this. 5 stars on the service and 5 stars on the value. It feels good to stay with them. We will book again on this property if we come again!

We were staying for the night before a hiking trip and were looking for a basic place to stay, we weren’t expecting much more than basic comforts. However when we arrived to the hotel around 9pm, we entered into a very hot room. We turned the AC unit on and it wasn’t helping much, we slept with no sheets or blankets. The room finally cooled down around 11:30pm. We then discovered lots of hair in our bathroom sink. Next we found the coffee straws were not replaced as they had coffee residue from a previous stay. It was somewhat quiet but for the price we paid, we are expecting more comfortable stay. Won’t be coming here again.

So dirty and old. The carpets were gross. Crumbs all along the walls where the vacuum doesn’t reach. The bedding is colored and looks ancient. It was simply gross. The bed was also hard as a rock. The floors sunken in at multiple places. If you care about cleanliness, do not stay here under any circumstances

Stained bed sheet, uninviting room, smelly room, mold and mildew on shower curtain, and tub. Shower head spray was unadjustible. No automatic A/C adjustment. I had to get up 5 times to adjust the A/C Owner has no pride in maintaining his property nor does he care about the customers. Everything is from dollar store, and I am being generous. THE ABSOLUTE WORST stay out of my lodging experience ever.

Not sure how this place has received an 8.0/10. The carpets were pretty darn nasty and stained throughout. The bed was honestly probably the worst bed I’ve ever slept on. At least the bathroom was clean, but they only had about an 1/8th roll of toilet paper with no additional rolls. Luckily we were just there to sleep and move on the next day. The person at the front desk was nice enough. I would not stay here again, even at a 1/4 of the cost.

Rooms

Rooms are older and very basic; comfort is sufficient for short stays but inconsistent, with reports of noisy or ineffective A/C, thin pillows or hard beds, and occasional minor maintenance quirks (e.g., shower head aim or curtain coverage).

Old fashion setting and the only thing that wasn’t working was the hot water in the sink. The bed was comfortable and I slept like a rock for the short time that I was there. If you’re just there in town for a short time, that would be a great place to stay. But! please have the hot water working in the sink for the next customer. Thank you, Julie

The property is like most in Lone Pine; old and dated. Even though we know this and have been a few times, we were really disappointed in the bathroom. The water from the shower head hit everything except the person taking a shower. It even got on the wall and toilet. The beds were fine, but the pillows are threadbare. It’s perfect walking distance to everything, so great location.

OK motel for a one night stop over. The room was clean but furnishings were old and mismatched, and the bed and linens were not luxury. The carpet was worn, and actually taped over in one spot. The A/C unit was loud and was not in the ideal location (nearly next to the bed) to be most effective.

A classic older motel just off a classic old-time small town main street. It was all we were looking for. Comfortable. Check in and out was straightforward and the ice machine convenient. Bathroom dated but everything worked fine. Quiet, off the main two-lane highway. Easy walking a block away to spectacular mountain views and to a good variety of restaurants and cafes.
