Trees Motel, Bishop CA

395 to Mammoth was completely shut down due to severe weather conditions so I had to find last minute place to stay. Oh boy, I should have drove back home.
The front desk lady that called to confirm my reservation was incredibly nice, said she is leaving the motel and will leave the room key (109) by the office in the mailbox.

Pros:
- The heater was set to 80 and the room was warm
- Touch-activated lamps

Cons:
- The room smelled like pee, even after airing it with all the doors and windows open I still could smell it
- My pillowcases smelled like a human body, they definitely were not washed
- The door did not seem to be that secure and for a single woman I would not recommend staying here
- Paper thin walls, I could hear my neighbors like they were in my room
- There was not a single cup or mug. Why do you have a coffee machine and how do you expect people to use it?
- In the morning at 9AM I could not get out of the parking area due to an overnight snowfall, chased down a snow cleaning truck to come help me
-Probably the most wasteful $180 dollars I spent in my life

Came to Bishop for weekend BC skiing. Loved my stay at this motel. Everything was good. I'd have given it 5 stars if only for the beds that could be more comfy. Overall, a great choice. Would stay with them again.

The service was above and beyond, the room was everything we needed! The coffee was legit too! Thank you Nikki!

Heater/AC does not work. Showers are not ADA compliant. You need to be super skinny to fit in there and it is claustrophobic. The "queen" beds are also not queen. Will not fit 2 people. Don't go here. I would rather sleep in my car in the cold.

Stayed here because a friend travelling with us had a dog. This was the only pet-friendly motel available. On a busy street. The rooms are small (15' x 15') and dark. Not especially clean. No carpet - our room had a greasy coating on the floor that left a black film on our shoe soles. You could see our footprints on the floor. I would only stay here as a last resort. They should not charge over $100/night, but they do.

On the spot the accommodation has turned out as an apartment that was located a little further away from the actual motel. Nevertheless, the apartment was quite sufficient for the price. When we came back to the apartment after dinner in Bishop, we noticed that two suitcases were missing. Above all, we were puzzled why only our two smaller suitcases had been stolen, but not the third suitcase that had been standing right next to the two stolen suitcases, as well as the two large suitcases that had been standing in the next room. Nothing in the apartment looked suspicious, as everything still looked the same like when we had left the accommodation. Since we were driving a very nice BMW rental car, we suspected that someone must have been watching us and thought we had a lot of money. Unfortunately, you could also see our room number on our parking lot, which must have made it very easy for the thieves to find our room. However, since there were no signs of burglary on the windows or the front door, we can only assume that it was people who worked at the motel and had the key to all the doors or the burglars could break in pretty easily with a credit card or something similar. Unfortunately, there were only cameras around the property that did not work, so the police could not do anything for us. Of course, we didn't want to sleep in our apartment anymore, because we were afraid of being robbed again. And it seemed to us that the wife of the owner could not quite understand this, because she thought that there were no more rooms available. Nevertheless, she was able to offer us a room with three queen beds at short notice, because she thought we needed four queen beds, although the reservation said that we were five people. That was a bit strange. However, we were just glad to be accommodated in another room. Nevertheless, our suitcases are now gone, which unfortunately made our stay there and the rest of our trip in California not as enjoyable as it should have been. Therefore, we wanted to at least make other people aware here that we got robbed and it could happen to other people as well. Even though the owners said that their apartments had never been broken into before. We would’ve also wished the owners had anticipated more towards us and at least given us a discount on our accommodation as it was their accommodation that was broken into.

Great for the price. Room was a bit small, but clean and very comfortable. Very nice staff. Late check in handled perfectly. Thank you! Parking lot seemed a little dark, but I can barely see during the day.

Great location, strong AC was much appreciated in the summer heat. But this place could use a little love. Beds have foam toppers on them now (I noticed old reviews mentioning hard beds) but the pillows were terrible, thankfully we had some of our own with us from our road trip. This motel has so much potential and a beautiful location. I would love to see them invest in new mattresses (not just toppers), new pillows and a couple updated games for the outdoor area.maybe uniform t shirts for their staff and a couple more smiles? This place could reach its full potential. Hope to see you guys grow and evolve in the future. Best wishes!

The room was nice and clean, the staff was very prompt and professional. After my stay, I had forgotten my fishing poles, and Jason was nice enough to mail them back to me at no cost. I recommend the Trees motel in Bishop ca. Thanks Again Jason. Roger

It was heavily lemon scented. Needs an update badly. Didn't feel it was worth the money. Supply & demand!

The hotel is obviously very old and dated, but the room was clean and comfortable. The man at the front desk was friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth the low price point.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Checking in went fast and smooth. AC worked great in our room! We stayed in the "Family Room". There was a little hot plate, tv/ cable, microwave, cooking utensils, coffee pot, microwave and mini fridge. There is one large living area with 2 full sized beds. 1 separate bedroom with a full bed and mini fridge along with an upholstered chair. The bathroom is small but functions well. There is a hair dryer too. The shower head has 3 settings which I found very nice because I don't like it super powerful. The beds weren't very comfy. One bed would sway a lot with every little move you did while laying on the bed. It wasn't horrible. There is an ice machine on the premises by the office. Ping pong table, grass area, fire pit, tables/ chairs, bbq out front. My family loved it. Also around the back there is a fish cleaning station. That came in handy as we are avid fishermen. The motel felt very cozy like a little camping cabin. We enjoyed our stay.

The location is on beautiful Bishop but this is a slum type hotel.
I've stayed at high end places and very low budget, this place falls in at a 4 out of 10.
Don't look above arms reach of cleaners as it is filthy.
Overall if you need a place to stay and are not super picky it will do.
I would stay at the creekside Inn instead.

Awesome room great grassy area to walk barefoot at the same time using the grill for burgers and playing some ping pong

Stayed in what they described as bungalow #212 next door to their "El Rancho Motel" property for $200 a night. The managerial staff was very kind and accommodating, so we were extremely saddened upon being faced with the poor and unacceptable accommodations in the actual room.
Upon arrival, my husband went to sit on the bed in one of the rooms, and fell through to the floor due to their mattresses being propped up by thin metal slats instead of box springs. (My husband weighs under 200 pounds). He removed the mattress, and found that slats were bent, including some missing from the frame which caused the issue.
We also discovered the bottom of our feet were black after an hour of walking barefoot on the floors. And when we crawled into the beds to go to sleep, we could feel dirt on the sheets which made us wonder if they had been washed, or if the floors were just so dirty, it was being carried into the bed.
We did not want to upset anyone, and so we reluctantly forced ourselves to ignore the issues, and fall asleep.
One of our children slept on a bed they had in the living room, and in the morning she showed us the inside of her comforter that was dirty with both dirt and some blue liquid stains. We were mortified that we had not checked her linens and that she was subjected to such filth.
We immediately went to the office to get new linens for all of the beds, but they had a sign that they were closed until 10: 00am. This was the last straw for us. We packed up our items and went into town to kill time until we could return to submit our keys to a desk clerk that didn't seem to really care about our frustrations and the dirty blanket I brought her as proof. We paid $430 and could only bare to stay one night so it was a terrible experience for us. We understand good help is often hard to find, and hope that they can resolve these issues with their cleaning/maintenance staff so that all of their future guests can have a better experience than we did.

It's better than a tent. The bed was like a rock. Thin walls. Tiny bathroom and shower. Staff was friendly.

The only reason I rated this place a 3 is because the beds are really uncomfortable. Other than that I love this place.

Great budget spot. Clean and comfy. Stayed a night on our way out backpacking in the mountains.

I overall enjoyed my stay! Very clean and cute room set up. Bed was a little firm for me but still was very pleased with my stay.
