Best Western Bishop Lodge

This was my choice for stay between Yosemite national park and Las Vegas. The room was standard in every respect. It is well situated as you have a Denny's and a Kentucky Fried chicken right across the road. Room was somewhat smelly of excess detergents and needed to be well aired. less

This is a favorite stop while photographing in the Bishop and Owens Valley area. Clean and very big room for all our photo gear. Could use more power outlets, but I travel with a power strip that does the job. The free breakfast is really good and most people will have no problem finding something to eat. The staff is very friendly. This is our third stay here while on photo trips. Lots of good places to eat nearby. less

Older motel they tried to modernize but has a poor arrangement. Vinyl dark flooring with a throw rug between the beds makes the room look dark. If you drop anything on the floor you had better have a flash light or you will never find it again. Dresser/work desk has no lights and no plugs for electronic devices. As a matter of fact the entire side of the room has no lighting and remains dark unless the TV is on. There is one outlet near the 30" fridge but not close to the desk. Night stand between the beds has phone, clock, and lamp with 2 plug-ins and USB port but little room to set anything. Bath has a large tub with toilet that can be closed off but has tight quarters when you do. Sink and closet area has an Air Conditioner/heater near the door to bath and toilet. So, if you take a hot shower or bath you can cool off quickly as you pass in front of the air conditioner to the sleeping area. We were on the bottom floor and could hear everything from the room above. Again, no carpeting to muffle the sound. Beds were ok and room was clean. Parking is difficult as you may not find parking near your room. less

While the night clerk moved us to another room within 10 minutes, toilets that do not flush and loud air conditioners make staying at the Best Western Bishop, CA a rip off. The toilet in the second room didn't flush either and the air conditioner was just as loud. A courteous staff cannot overcome toilets that do not work. less

We stopped here on our way through Death Valley to Vegas. Great location for a stop. There are plenty of food places nearby. We got take out from Denny's and ate in our room as we'd had a long day. The rooms are nice, recently refurbished so clean and tidy. Good air con and all the facilities. Fridge and microwave if needed. Free wifi and breakfast top off the hotel. For the price, well worth a stay. There was a pool but we arrived too late to use it. less
