Lake View Lodge

Petit lodge sympa, très simple, pas d équipement mais idéalement placé face aux sanitaires

The bathroom door lock was missing, I had to restart the TV satellite system several times before it finally worked, the room heater was deafening and the room had a very strong “air freshener” smell that wouldn’t air out.

Lake View Lodge is the only lodging option in Lee Vining in the winter. As such, it is overpriced and not very nice. The room was rundown and smelled of cleaning agents. They tack on an "environmental fee" of 11$ when you check in even if you have prepaid through another agency. The clerk could not tell us what the fee is for or why it is charged at all. We would not recommend this lodging option.

Basic, gloomy lighting, nowhere to eat. Cafe was closed. Reception unmanned for morning checkout. Washbasins too high. Power outage at 8 in the morning, No lake view as those rooms were closed for the winter. After a very long journey it was disappointing. A refund or compensation would be appreciated.

Checkin by phone. They said sorry under construction. We were only ones there. Took awhile to get room heated.

My room was spacious and had good internet. The reception staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is a one minute walk from 2 restaurants and a market. Beautiful part of the Sierras.

This is a funky old motel which needs renovation, but they are already working on updating it. The location is excellent for visiting amazing Mono Lake and you can see the lake from the upper levels of the motel. The room was small, vey dark with not enough lighting, and a very small bathroom. The shower stall didn't even have a soap dish or ledge to place the soap or shampoo which was very annoying. The bedding looked and smelled old. There were no outlets next to the bed to charge phones. On the plus side, the grounds had a nice picnic area with trees. There is a very convenient mini-market next door. Also Nicely's Restaurant is right down the street, which is an old-style diner with ambiance from the 50's and OK food when there are no other options. The Basin Cafe was closed for the season when we arrived. Mono Lake is fascinating and beautiful. Check out the South Tufa Trail on Highway 120 East just south of Lee Vining. Also June Lake Loop is gorgeous and a very easy drive.

Our cottage was so cute! The inconvenience of the shared bathroom was the only thing. We loved Nicely's diner!!

Room was clean and quiet. My only thing is that I am 5-6 and both sinks het me at breast level making them hard to use..
