Stayed for a week and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hotel. For the price, it's impossible to beat in Ridgcrest. The room was spotless, and all towels and bedding fluffy, clean, and fresh. i enjoyed the fitness room very evening, with its treadmills and big flatscreen. The pool is not heated, but is clean and well maintained and makes an excellent cold plunge. Free breakfast of toast, bagels, yogurt, cereals,juice, coffee and teas. Staff was friendly and courteous and even the cleaning staff were just the nicest people. i had a great stay and will definitely stay again.

The front desk clerk was lovely and efficient. And the room was very clean and comfortable. We were extremely worried that we picked a bad spot, though, as their front sign was in tatters and made the place look abandoned. Sadly, the pool was not clean enough to swim in. But, again, the room was much nicer than one would have expected based on the sign and pool. If you just need a good room at a good price, this is a great spot.

The property seems to maybe be new. The pool area wasn’t available. The pool is covered and locked up. The roof is needing replaced shingles. The room was nice and appeared to have been updated. The bed was very comfortable with nice linen and comfy pillows. The room had a refrigerator and microwave. Breakfast was available and fresh coffee. Overall, a great stay for a stop in the area.

The room were pretty small for four persons. AC was so near other bed that it blew really cold air other bed and in the other bed people said that it’s too warm. So it was hard to find propare tempeture in the room. Kids waited the pool but it was out of use. The breakfast were okay, nothing special there. The guy who worked there didn’t speak anything. When we were at breakfast, he came in and we tought that he is an another customer. But he went behind the desk so he might be the employee. He wasn’t there when we were leaving, so we left key card there. But the young woman, when we checked in were really nice and friendly. Good parking area.

The shower floor was dirty including slick soapy layer. The hardwood flooring was also dirty. Put a towel on the floor to wipe my feet on prior to climbing into bed. No coffee maker in room. The fitness center was minimal. Very quiet. Think there was only 1 other guest on site. Breakfast was minimal but clean and adequate.

The rooms were very clean, modern. the sheets were clean and spotless, the pillows were soft and the bed was very soft and comfortable. The bathroom was very nice and modern and the water could get very hot, which was very nice for how cold this location can get. the heater and ac worked wonderfully and kept the room as cold or as warm as we wanted. The staff were friendly and helpful and very accommodating when we arrived. Overall a really excellent place to stay and right on the main street as well!

Like: clean room friendly staff at check in.. Did not like: room to noisy you can hear everything that goes on the neighboring rooms and the people going by the room also the street traffic and my room was at the back of the property!!, the room can use some longer shower curtains to prevent water from spilling into the floor that creates a falling hazard, the staff at the time of check out had a lack of attention to the needs of the breakfasts items and the cleaning of the food area also to the customers they did not care who comes or goes into that area

We had to request a different room because the bathrooms in ours were filthy, hair in the showers and stains all over the toilet. Our sheets were stained and had hair on the pillows. The receptionist was a young woman who was kind and apologetic, she got us a new room but it was not much better. We would not recommend staying here. Our plan was to spend a night here to rest and break up out long drive but we were better off sleeping in the car rather than these rooms. If we hadnt pre-booked we would have left immediately and demanded a refund.

Rooms
Rooms are remodeled but small, with comfortable beds; some bathrooms and showers feel tight. Noise from the street or thin walls is a recurring complaint; Wi-Fi gets a few compliments.

I was fooled by the Clarion name for this motel. Based on the name, it appears that Clarion bought a bunch of Motel 6's ( my son confirmed that this property was a Motel 6), painted the rooms, and cleaned things up a bit, but it is still a Motel 6 at its heart. Very small shower and no coffee maker. Not a lot of move around room. There was a small refrigerator and microwave. Check in was difficult as someone received the money for our 4 day reservation but it was not logged into the properties computer so they had not record of it. Fortunately I always bring receipts so 40 minutes later it was finally straightened out. The young man that was left manning the desk was very pleasant but he was out of his depth and the manager never returned from his "bathroom" break in the entire 40 minutes. This same young man was the only staff I ever saw or interacted with in the entire 4 day stay. I usually only schedule an overnight in these types of motels and choose much nicer places for a 4 day stay. I will not select a Clarion Pointe again and may skip all Clarion properties in the future.

Front desk woman was nice, however she put a family with kids above us and they were running and possibly jumping upstairs disturbing my sleep...this was a Monday night and Tuesday morning and the place was dead...she could've located the family in the first floor or 2nd floor somewhere not near people -Room 126 has orangish-yellow stains on the ceiling in the bathroom...it also has little dark brownish spots on the wall, next to the bed closest to the bathroom....it could be food, best case scenario, or blood spots, worst case scenario...whatever it is, it should be cleaned off -the housekeeping lady banged on the door at 9:45am, as if she was the cops announcing they have a warrant! I guess to see if we were gone yet?...check out is at 11am...she startled my son, we were sleeping and I told her we would be staying right until check out time of 11am -they don't have those signs you can hang on the door to say "do not disturb" or else I would've used it. -i mostly likely will not stay here again

But, again, the room was much nicer than one would have expected based on the sign and pool. If you just need a good room at a good price, this is a great spot.

If you've read other reviews of mine, you'll no I dont go easy..... Nothing like checking into a hotel after a long day of diet bike riding and driving, to be greeted by a super friendy staff. Check in was quick, parking was plentiful. The beds were super comfy and the TV was gigantic with sat TV. Safe, and within walking distance of really good food. They were in the middle of uogrades and improvements. Bravo to these hoteliers, you can tell they put a lot of love into this place.

Great place to stay for the night on the way to Mammoth Lakes. We arrived around 11pm in the evening, and the front desk agent was kind enough to help with our luggage and walk us to our door. The staff member that helped us that night was incredibly kind. For sure would stay here again!

The rooms were very clean, modern. the sheets were clean and spotless, the pillows were soft and the bed was very soft and comfortable. The bathroom was very nice and modern and the water could get very hot, which was very nice for how cold this location can get. the heater and ac worked wonderfully and kept the room as cold or as warm as we wanted. The staff were friendly and helpful and very accommodating when we arrived. Overall a really excellent place to stay and right on the main street as well!

We liked the price quality ratio. They are clearly working on the property, our room was clean and modern. A bit small maybe, for four, but oké for one night. Good price, especialy with the included breakfast. We didn’t like the fact that some of the other guest made a lot of noise, being picked up for work, early in the morning. But I guess managent can do little about that. ‘The patriot’ is nearby for dinner, great food and service!

Like: clean room friendly staff at check in.. Did not like: room to noisy you can hear everything that goes on the neighboring rooms and the people going by the room also the street traffic and my room was at the back of the property!!, the room can use some longer shower curtains to prevent water from spilling into the floor that creates a falling hazard, the staff at the time of check out had a lack of attention to the needs of the breakfasts items and the cleaning of the food area also to the customers they did not care who comes or goes into that area

Dining
Breakfast is very limited, typically waffles and cereal or oatmeal, and supplies sometimes run out or areas go unattended. A few guests found it acceptable but not a draw.

The breakfast had fewer options than most hotels that serve a breakfast. We did not see a hotel employee the entire time we were eating breakfast. The room was clean and well stocked.

It struck me as a 1970’s motel with new paint and superficial updates. Breakfast was very limited and the only supply of coffee was empty.

It’s a nice hotel. The room is clean. One problem: there is no coffee maker in the rooms. It’s such a simple and cheap thing. Why not have it? For breakfast they ran out of waffle mix. Hot water was out. A staff member came 10 min after I got there for breakfast and boiled water. Not the best breakfast experience!

You get what you pay for. The bed was clean and comfortable. Shower was about the size of an RV Camper shower and the shower curtain railing was installed incorrectly, resulting in the shower curtain ending up on the floor during the shower. Water pressure and temp were great. The breakfast was basically cereal or waffles. Overall, it was average.

The remodel of the hotel was pretty good. We had no issues with the room.The cleanliness was great.The amenities were okay. It was nice and quiet. However, they had no bowls for the cereal, no syrup for the waffles, and they were pretty much out of the waffle mix and bagels for the continental breakfast. But compared to what that motel use to be, HUGE improvement. I would stay again. Overall it was a good experience.

Very nice little hotel. Our room looked as if we were the first to stay because everything was so new and clean, they even had smart TVs! The breakfast was alright, not a whole lot to choose from. Front desk and staff were amazing.

When we arrived to the property there was no workers to check us in. We had to wait 30 mins for the employee to show up. The floors were dirty. The kids got in the pool and brought water on the floor so I used a towels to clean it and the white towel was black when I was done. The vent fan in the bathroom was also black from dirt and dust. The 1 st room cooler did not work. The rooms were small. NOT WORtH THE PRICE. We could of stayed at a cheaper hotel/motel and been treated better. DO NOT STAY HERE.
