Whitney Portal Hostel & Hotel - Lone Pine, California

Lino A.

Motel normalito, limpio y cuidado, aunque un poco antiguo.||Esta al pie de la Ctra. que cruza Lone Pine y tiene bastante oferta para comer en los alrededores.||La chica de recepción no destaca por su simpatia, aunque es rapida y eficiente.||Tenia Wifi, pero no tenia ni hielo gratis, ni desayuno,aunque en su descargo fue el segundo hotel mas barato junto con el que tuvimos en Williams.

Para pasar una noche, no está mal. Caro para lo que ofrecen, pero es complicado encontrar algo más asequible que se corresponda con la calidad.

Positive: I like location and the mountain view from the hotel room and it's clean. It's a motel actually and I am not expecting anything more from it. Negative: Yea there was a wired sound comes from the extinguisher in the washroom and we are the only one family in the whole hotel and it's bit scary . Except that all GOOD.

I’m am staying here right now so this is a live review. I’m in room 9 the women’s dorm. The place is amazingly clean and smells nice. The location is perfect and parking good and front desk staff and shop really cool…,,,.., I love that the room has a small fridge and I appreciate the microwave even though when it is plugged it a weird sound comes out so we were forced to move it to use it so we could easily plug and unplug it. I like the coffee machine and cups although the coffee provided is not made for the maker but for individual cups. I appreciate the powdered cream and sugar but no sticks are provided for mixing…….|The tv does not work and it is not just the remote. TVs don’t belong in dorm rooms anyway as they can create conflict……The ac works fine. The sink has a constant drip and sadly the shower is the worst as the temperature is either on fire or ice cold. There is no balance and my flatmate had the same experience. Either you burn or freeze-this is the biggest complaint. The toilet requires two flushes and sadly there is no bathroom trash can which women need! A hook behind the bathroom door would be great to hang a towel. ||All that being said . I’m pretty happy. It is turning into a nice stay and they let me hang in my room during the day in contrast to what others have said. ||Now I’m going back to bed. I’m submitting Whitney in the AM.

There's no closet and even no rack to hang up your coat. There's no hair dryer to dry your hair, guess what, I have to use AC heating my hair so that I could not get cold （thankfully they have AC heating here）. Small room close to the road, no doubt it was a noisy night.

I also saw a couple who said they booked room through Booking.com but they didn't receive room access code and they tried to contact with Hotel using emergency contact number but no one answered.

Overall, nothing but only good location for watching mountain Whitney.

Had some bugs on the ceilings, dusty floors, and A/C in room assigned wasn't working.

They fortunately moved us to a room with working A/C. When original room's A/C situation was repaired, they moved us back and moved all of our stuff gently from the room they put us in with working A/C.

Great location for Whitney hike if you are in town. Walking distance to some small places to eat.

Worst experience of our entire holiday!

We booked the hotel because of the relatively good reviews on one of the major booking platforms and particularly due to the spacious rooms they advertised. The room size was stated to be 38 m² or 409 square feet.

The room we received was barely more than half the size. Due to the lack of space, we had no way to accommodate our baby.

According to the reception, there were no larger rooms available, so we had to find a new hotel for the night.

Despite the circumstances, the hotel management refused to refund the costs.

This was by far the worst experience we had during our entire USA vacation. What a shame!
