better than expected
It was what we needed during long road trip. A comfortable bed. The mattress pillows and sheets were surprisingly comfortable. Nice to be able to park in front of your entry door. Also the real coffee maker with fresh ground coffee. But weird that you had to check in a Chevron Gas Station.

Property was OK, but very expensive for the small room. Most restaurants in town were closed down.

When you think about a motel located behind a gas station all sorts of negatives are conjured up. However you would be wrong about this place. It was quiet, clean and had all the amenities a traveler would need. This is not a quaint cottage but it is a quiet, clean place to spend a night or two

6/10 Good

For an older hotel, in a smaller town it was definitely acceptable. I liked that my vehicle was parked in front of my room. The location is excellent for day hiking staging. Older hotels are quieter, of which , I value not hearing my neighbor as much. The room was clean. Trade offs: I do not like sleeping on soft mattresses nor dim light ( hence I travel with a small lamp) Although , for an older hotel the lighting was better the most with one in ceiling light fixture. Lastly, carpet should be removed in the rooms for obvious reasons. This could be an upgrade, but I understand , a capital expense.

Nice surprise
I reserved online. When we pulled up, honestly, I was nervous. I will admit that I am a bit of “A Princess and a Pea” sometimes, but the room was comfortable and clean as a whistle. A bit quirky for sure, but I would absolutely stay again.

The room was clean and tge bed was firm. The furniture was dated but what mattered was the room was comfortable and clean

Fair for price
Room was spacious but ac unit did not cool off the size of the room so had to ask for a fan that management provided.

A convenient spot in Big Pine. Not the greatest experience though, felt a little run down and the property was a second priority to the convenient shop/gas station.

Good place for a night rest
A nice quick stop for gas and overnight rest just before you back on the road. Not a luxurious place to stay but good enought to stop and get some sleep.
