Reviewed By JohnKr

There aren't alot of choices in Big PIne. I count three motels in total. We picked Starlight and were pleasantly surprised with a decent good-sized room with nice wood flooring. The owners are great and the grounds have an elevated deck area with BBQ and a sitting area with a fire ring. No complaints and if we're in Big Pine again we'd probably stay here again.

Bait and Switch

Reviewed By mct845

I booked this motel after seeing the description and pictures on the internet. The pictures looked very nice and the kitchen looked good, fairly equipped (refrigerator, stove, etc., basic but usable), so we booked the room. Upon booking we found that the listed price went way up but we booked it anyway. When we checked in we were given a dingy little room that did not look anything like what the motel showed online. The kitchen consisted of a sink, mini refrigerator, and mini microwave, 2 plates, 2 dishes, 2 forks, 2 spoons, and 1 knife. A couple of small pan lids were in the cupboard. There were electrical sockets as if there had been a regular refrigerator and stove which had been removed. The luxury linens on the bed were very old, hardly luxury and mismatched as if they were leftovers. The bathroom seemed to be an after thought with a tiny shower in which you bumped your elbows on the wall, a toilet that was set so that your knees either bumped the sink or had to be tucked under it, and no place to hang the absolute minimum of towels that were left out in the other room. By the bed there was not an end table and lamp on each side as pictured. This room felt like it was added after the fact squeezed into a maintenance closet or something. Plus the room was expensive, $261 for one night, $32 more than what I had already thought I was going to be charged. I won’t ever be back. Management had not explanation or did they offer recourse. I really felt this was a bait and switch situation and will never be back.

These are personal views and personal experience staying on several trips. Dirty, unkempt, and needs excessive maintenance. Rude disrespectful, discounting, and unhelpful attitude and actions by staff. 1. 2nd Floor walkway to rooms has sinking spots, and carpet looks completely filthy and trashed, attached with industrial staples. 2. Some doors have gaps of up to 1/2 inch - leaving room for bugs, snakes, etc. to enter your room while you sleep. 3. Parking area lights for 2nd building broken and one is smashed is laying on the ground. 4. Mens' underwear and dirty clothing lying in parking area for several days. 5. Garbage cans outside rooms are not emptied daily. 6. In several rooms, rooms were dirty and did not meet promised advertised standard of "highest safety cleanliness." Floor was covered with dirt, and when washed (upon checking in) left a bucket of water and soap black. 7. Pleather covered seating covered with dust, dirt and grime. Had to wash and sanitize. 8. Door frame to room was falling apart, with pieces of wood missing. 9. Stairs to rooms missing sections, in disrepair, needing painting, and repair. 10. Shower curtains are strange fabric that does not appear to get washed between guests. Bring your own shower curtain and shower curtain rings. 11. Surfaces needed to be disinfected. 12. Bed had two flat sheets and no fitted sheet. Was refused sheets when asked at office. 13. Office staff rude, disrespectful, and continually disregarded guests medical ADA needs and requests, requiring guest to stay in a 2nd floor room, then to move rooms several times, and gave guest three sets of keys to a room that was broken, yet acted they they were unaware. When asked for a key to unlock the door (a real key for the lock that showed) was told the key was "lost." 14. Threatened guest with unauthorized entry to room, to check smoke alarm, and refused to wait five days until guest vacated. 15. Was told guest not allowed to have "Do Not Disturb" for room; that housekeeping wanted to inspect the room because too many guests destroy their rooms and leave them trashed. This was said to a senior citizen who left the room cleaned, floor washed, shower scrubbed, all trash emptied, and sanitized upon departure on previous stay. 16. Left unattended when called to confirm same day arrival and told "Oh, you don't have a room but we have your reservation"then left on the line while employee made personal call that could be heard to talk about hamburger for her weekend. Motel6 doesn't have a hamburger room option. 17. Threatened guest saying that unauthorized entry was for "fire department" but no fire department inspection was scheduled, and then admitted there was no such thing. 18. Demanded guest cancel evening activities, and next day travel committments, to accommodate the hotel's staff preferences, and insistence on entering room improperly without authorization during paid guest stay. 19. Caused unnecessary stress and loss of travel time due to bizarre disregard of guests. 20. Towels tiny and thin. Sheets very thin and very worn out. 21. Bathtubs in several units in disrepair, and appears to have DIY home spackling" on tubs and walls. 22. Did not have all toiletries stated that were available upon checkin. 23.

Rooms with adjoining doors have no privacy, soundproof, seal, or separation from smells. 25.

Rooms had dust bunnies, dirt grime, and layer of dirt (found upon sweeping, washing, and wiping down with cleaners and disinfectants). 27. When told, upon checking in, they had the reservation, but had not held a room for the guest, left the guest stranded, asking local police for options to sleep in car as all other hotels either full, or charging more than twice and three times the cost of reservation for a same day reservation stay. For more than 3 hours, left guest in a state of severe concern where they would sleep and be safe having traveled at least six hours and made several confirming reservation phone calls, and told that all was well, until arrival. 28. Pool door broken and could not be opened. 29. Icemaker did not work, told it would be fixed "sometime" but not the same day, and no alternative ice provided. 30.

This looks like a family-run older property that's been well-maintained in great shape. Thankful that we had parking right in front of our room. Warm place on a cold night! Far off the main drag, FYI.

Quiet motel in Bishop

Reviewed By Getaway61805058474

Very quiet and clean, comfortable bed. Setup like an auto camp of the past with duplex buildings, old style tiled standup shower. Small Room had 2 windows, and convenient parking is beside room. Parklike area with lawn, trees, tables at the back of lot. Off the main drag so no traffic noise. I believe it was the least expensive in town.

I booked a room for two nights (march 2021). I was travelling by myself and picked the cheapest place I could find in Bishop. I was ready for a below average place but it was not. It was very clean, more space than most hotel rooms, it had a refrigerator, the tv worked great with lots of channels, and the wifi was perfect, far better internet than I get at home or work!
