Mt Whitney Motel

8/10 Good
"The property is definitely dated. It’s perfect for a Hiker that doesn’t mind an old microwave and refrigerator and older furnishings. But I have to say, it is EXTREMELY clean and the beds are very comfortable so when you’re prepping or coming back from hiking Mount Whitney it is a wonderful respite. the staff is also super nice and has no problem coming out late to check me in with a friendly smile. There is also pressure in the showers thank God wish most hiking places don’t have. Would definitely recommend for any Hiker passing through. It is literally only 20 minutes to the portal."

"We used the property as our home base while we hiked Mt. Whitney and it was exactly what we needed to make our trip a very memorable one. The kitchen was an awesome place to prepare a celebratory dinner after our hike. The swimming pool and hot tub were a great amenity considering our physical condition after the hike. The views from the property are truly amazing. I would highly recommend this property to any of my friends or family."
