This was a more affordable option to stay at when booking a ski trip to mammoth. It’s a quick drive to mammoth or June mountain. Overall the hotel is fairly old and could use some upgrades. I had very bad allergies the whole time I was there and believe it was due to dust or a cleaner they use.

Lakeview motel with no lake view
The sink in the bathroom was 44 inches above the floor. They put a vessel sink on a standard 36 inch vanity. Being 5 feet tall, this was ridiculous. You can’t plug in the hairdryer in the lower outlet because the sink is in the way. The lower vanity drawer won’t close and is crooked. The lighting was insufficient. No overhead lighting. Only a standing lamp in the corner of the room. It was difficult to find a place to charge our devices. The metal platform bed frame has no toe kick. We kicked it many times unintentionally. The bottom sheet on our king size bed was a flat sheet that pulled out when you turned down the covers. The mattress was very firm and the pillows were all firm foam. February is a slow month in Lee Vining so I asked if there was a room with a view of the lake. She said they were all taken. Not sure that was true. Parking lot was not full. Anyway very few rooms actually have a lake view.

Slight step up from Murphy's nearby, but I was really turned off by how aggressively unkind the contract was in several areas. In particular, there is a clause with multiple threats against EV owners for plugging in, yet not only are there no EV charging facilities, employees cannot even tell you about EV chargers in the area. Expect loud window heaters/AC, extremely loud refrigerators, and poor thermostats (better insulation than Murphy's helps somewhat). NOTE: Some rooms have 2 actual rooms within, so you can sleep in the inner room and the loud stuff is in the outer room.

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.

Affordable and comfortable motel on Hwy 395
The motel was fine, and at a convenient stopping point for our trip. The desk clerk was helpful, and we appreciated the landscaping and holiday lights. But I would have preferred better disclosure in the advertising on hotels.com. It advertised 24/7 desk service and a restaurant on the premises. After we completed our nonrefundable payment, we received an email telling us that neither of these were true, and that in fact the restaurants in Lee Vining were closed for the season. This information was very helpful, but I would have preferred knowing before making the reservation. Furthermore, upon arrival , we had to pay an additional $11 "environmental fee," for which I do not recall getting any advance notice. It's not a lot of money, but add-ons are always an unpleasant surprise. I'm sure most guests would prefer more transparent notice of all of these at the time of booking.
