June Lake Motel

8/10 Good
"The area of June Lake is beautiful. Hotel was very clean and within walking distance of stores and restaurants. Evidently there are many size rooms. We went in our neighbors and it was amazing. Large, spacious, full kitchen, just great. Unfortunately, ours had to have been the smallest unit they have. Barely enough room for my wife and I and our suitcase. We needed to rearrange things to accommodate our luggage. I’m sure this was because we were only staying one night. Our neighbors were staying a week. I would have rated motel a 5 if only our room was a touch larger."

10/10 Excellent
"Right in June Lake village, thus very convenient. Good value overall. There were people walking by late at night who obviously had had quite a few drinks and made some noise but that's not on the property owner. I wish the floor had been kept cleaner: walking around the room with clean feet, I found them rather dirty surprisingly fast and I checked with with a wet paper towel. This is my third stay with the June Lake Villager in about 15 years or so. I still love June Lake - have been visiting for over 30 years now."
