Best Western Bishop Lodge

My husband & I stayed here on our way home & we always enjoy the quaint city of Bishop. This hotel is well maintained & has trained their staff well. Check-in was easy but we were a little surprised that they charged a $100 contingency fee. Of course it is returned if you do not have any problems with damage/theft in your room. They do have good sercurity & there is a staff person who checks the parking lot in the evening so you are very safe there. It is a spacious facility with large, beautifully appointed rooms. The breakfast is also very adequate with many choices.The lady working in this area was kind enough to make us fresh eggs when they ran out just before the end of the breakfast time. There is only one concern that we felt kept us from giving them a 5 rating. The design of the outside hallways is that they are partially enclosed. This can be a good thing if it is very hot or snowing. It is a poor design, however, with the air conditioners on the outside of each room. The noise from them humming away resonates off the stucco walls & is a problem while sleeping at night. Even if you turn your unit off, you hear the air conditioners of the other rooms. They have a beautiful hotel & work hard to keep it that way & we appreciated that while there. less

The perfect stop for the night between Los Angeles and Reno. Traveling with my 89 year old mom makes this a welcome and needed stop for the night. We have never been disapointed when we stay here (2-4 times a year) less

This lodge experience was more like a 2.5 but since that wasn't the option I went with the 3. The price was fair, the room appeared to be newly remodeled with laminate flooring and tile in the wet areas. The basic, coffee maker, mini microwave and mini frig were nice to have items. The furnishings were good and the room was spacious enough but the noise factor was what kept me awake most of the night. The window was probably single pane so I could hear road noise and talking as though there wasn't a window there. The AC unit was very noisy and when it wasn't being noisy, I could actually hear outside noise from the AC unit since it was not mounted with proper seals so road noise just flowed right into the room. less

The hotel was very nice. No Carpet. All Hardwood type floors. Very clean and functional. Close to everything you would need. Walk to Restaurant across the street. I was on my way to Yosemite and plan to go back soon. less

Nothing special but the rooms are comfortable, quiet and reasonably priced. Easy walk to all of down town including the park and several good restaurants. Call ahead if you have pets as they only have certain rooms where they are allowed. less
