Gave the 3 stars because the beds are horrible and the heater did not work properly. I felt like I was sleeping on the floor. The heater did not go on automatically. I had to wake up when it got cold and had to tap the thermostat to get it to go on. It is a nice little motel in center of town. The rooms were clean and quiet.Walkability: Right in center of town a few minute walk to everything.

The room I got was unclean. There were lots of hair everywhere . There were hairs on the blanket , hairs all over the shower room walls . The used towels were left hanging behind the door . Feel like it wasn't cleaned properly after the last tenant .As such the room is furnished fine with microwave, coffee maker , fridge and even some basic cutlery

Location is great on the main street where it's walking distance to the general store and restaurants.Quiet, clean room on the 2nd floor.Had a kitchen and breakfast table which was great for cooking, eating, and staring out of the window in the morning. Though the view was just of the neighborhood, the trees and mountains were nice.Beds and pillows were comfortable. TV had various channels.The sofas, toilet and sink counter were all lower than usual which is perfect if you're a child but that was fine.However, it was hard to get a hold of anyone as there was no one in the office when we checked in/out.They need to write on their check-in sheet what the check out instructions are as we had to guess to drop our key in a "Key" box but it was unattended...For more tips and photos,IG: grace.loves.adventures

Everything is overall fine but DO NOT stay here if you're sensitive to noise. Two nights in a row and I haven't slept because the walls are so thin you can hear every footstep (even on the top floor) and multiple TVs are on and very loud. I've even kindly asked the neighbor last night to turn it down and nothing. Won't be staying here again because of that, unfortunate.

What a Dump...Cozy is used often to describe this 1950s vintage dark, smelly, dirty, s*** carpeted walled campsite.Heater was not working?.. hey folks 30 degree Temps outside-how about fixing the heater?The bed was a crazy soft bear wallow. Frozen and a broken back... just what is needed for a very long nite with no sleep. Perfect.Unhelpful staff with circles answers about helping with my request for a refund on the one unused nite... thanks Nick for nothing.Pass this one by... Don't stay here.

So if you actually read, it's rated a two-star, and for a two-star, it was actually nice and had no problems. The unit was nice and clean and had lots of room.. and I say unit because it reminded me of a little tiny studio apartment that had a little kitchen off to the side. The bathroom was off on its own, and there was plenty of room in the living and sleeping area.

I just came back from staying here this past weekend and overall had a good experience! June Lake is a special place to me, and I always saw this motel growing up (we used to have a condo up here at Gull lake) For those who have never been here, I'm gonna list my Pros to Cons:Pros:1.) The people who work here are genuinely nice. The cleaning lady, Alejandra is a sweetheart as well. 2.) The rooms are super clean, and I really appreciate that this place is pet friendly with a few designated rooms, that you have to book in advance 3.) Its pretty peaceful and quiet (we stayed in the added buildings in the back) 4.) I was able to book an extra night here last minute, with no issues. The fellow who called me back was prompt and friendlyCons:1.) The rooms are really small. Ours was an estimate 10 ft by 12 ft (not including the kitchen and bathroom) There were 2 of us and a small dog and we had to practically dance around eachother when moving about. Add the King size bed and you get the picture. There was also hardly any room for my small dog to move around. 2.) The price is pretty steap for such a small space. $679 for 3 nights including the pet fee (which I totally understand the pet fee, but still expensive minus that amount for the amount of space). 3.) Our room didn't have any windows (most of them do) and I knew this upon booking. What made this tough is that the room was pitch black! So if I woke up, thinking it was 3am, in actuality is was 9am, so it really throws you off! 4.) Our thermostat was not consistent, and if we put the heat on, a lot of the times it wouldn't work and we would freeze in the middle of the night. 5.) They have pretty strict rules regarding your pet. They ask that your dog is kept in a carrier if you leave, and is with you at all times. It made it tough for us, if we wanted to leave and have breakfast or hike, without bringing my dog. She's older and can't handle as much. We figured the "do not disturb" sign would be enough if stepping out for a bit, esp as my Corgi is pretty quiet and rarely barks. We didn't know all these rules until arrival, where you have to sign paperwork. Knowing all this, I would have had her stay with a pet sitter instead. Overall I enjoyed my stay here. I just thought it was expensive for what we got. I'm SUPER appreciative though that they have some pet friendly options. Maybe I'm just spoiled for having a condo up here, but I think in the future I'll Air Bnb it for more bang for my buck and the added space.FYI if you're a light sleeper, beware of the fridge. It wakes you up in the middle of the night!

I'm so disheartened I have to write this review but...I had been looking forward to this mother/daughter camping trip for months. We arrived on July 17th. Check in was easy and the female owner was very friendly. Our room was marginally clean. Which was fine and I was content to stay there. Everything was fine for the first 20 minutes until we noticed more and more large dark colored moths flying around the room, especially the bathroom and kitchen. I went down to the office and despite the office sign reading open, no one was there and I kept banging on the door. I couldn't believe it because less than a half hour earlier I had checked in. I asked an older couple a few rooms down to call the office as my wifi was not set up yet. They got no answer so we just went back to the room and started killing the moths. The more we killed them, the more moths showed up. By evening time it was like something out of a horror movie. No exageration , they were crawling out of all our drains. We plugged those but they were on the sides of the bed, in the curtains and crawling out of wall fixtures. I called the 24 emergency maintnance multiple times and waited for a call back that never came. I had enough at 1 am with no call back and went to the office. There is a private residence attached to the office and I banged on the door. A small child (looked about 8) answered the door and asked what I needed. I asked him to get a parent and he at first would not and kept asking me what I needed. He finally got his mom and I told her to call the owners and move me from the room. She was very nice and did and told me the owners could move me to another room. I told her I called maintnence many times and she told me he was sleeping and that's why he didn't answer (so much for 24 hour on site maintnance) She moved me to another room where she only saw 2 moths and she disposed of them. A few hours later there were 8 new moths in the bathroom. We decided we could not stay. We checked out the next day. I would not expect to be refunded for the first night because regardless of how terrible it was, we ate the steak so to speak. But it would have been a decent thing to do to refund us for the night we didn't stay. When I checked out and told the male owner we were not staying the 2nd night because of the moths, he shrugged, smiled and said "Yeah that's all of California, there's an infestation." And I'm out over $400 for only one night...If they knew some of the rooms were infested they could have had it exterminated, this could have been prevented, especially knowing the room will be rented. We left and it was just so upsetting.

They charged a pet fee for my service companion. According to California law, they are not allowed to do this. I stated multiple times before and during arrival that I was bringing my service companion, but once we checked in they acted like they didn’t know this beforehand and proceeded to charge us extra for our stay. I wasn’t in the mood to fight it, but hopefully this review makes up for the $40 I was charged.Otherwise, It is a charming stay. Just wash your dishes and leave before 10am on the day of your check out or else they will charge you extra. If you want charming and hospitality however, check out the Gull Lake Motel or Lake Front Cabins. They are of a similar price range and much nicer.Update: I’m just reading the owner’s response to my review for the first time. Contrary to the owner’s claim, I had called prior to our arrival and stated that I would be accompanied with my service companion. I may have been harsh in submitting a 1-star review, looking back on the matter, a 2-star review would be more fitting... At the time. June Lake Motel is still a good place to lay your head on the cheap if you enjoy skiing and cooking your own meals. But as you can read between the lines below, I would not describe the staff and owner as neither warm nor welcoming. It’s sort of humorous and outlandish the owner came on here to call a man ‘cheap’ and claim I’m such a sore l**** that I’d write a bad review over a $20 “pet fee.” Chump change I agree, and thank you for not charging me hundreds of dollars. Still however, it is unacceptable. I have dished out fees for my service companion before, and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. It’s absolutely unacceptable and bad business, accompanied with the audacity of this owner being a childish internet bully. Here’s an experiment you can do at home: leave a 2 or 3 star review on this mate’s business with some benign reason, and see how he responds to you. It’ll give you an idea of who’s running this circus.

I’ve been staying here for years and years during snow seasons and I would be nuts to give this motel anything less than 5 stars. This motel is an absolute gem—truly our home away from home.I am a particularly light sleeper and I always directly call the front office to see what rooms they have available to accommodate my needs. Tyler usually helps us out and always books us a room that suits my HSP sleep issues. The motel rooms are quiet enough and we always have a comfortable stay there! The cabins may be a bit tricky for you if you are an *extremely* light sleeper like me, but my boyfriend who is a normal sleeper sleeps in those rooms just fine for reference.The motel rooms with kitchens/kitchenettes have pretty much everything you need for a great stay. I always make sure to bring my own seasoning, cooking oil, hand soap, and paper towels but aside from these, the rooms have you covered.Furthermore, I cannot emphasize how accommodating the owners and everyone who works here are. Whenever we are missing or need anything, they promptly help and provide us with what we need. They are so warm and welcoming, you really couldn’t ask for better customer service.We love June Lake Motel!!! It’s our favorite affordable place to stay in June!

I had a comfortable stay in this vintage building. Quiet and convenient. It was especially nice to have a full kitchen, and there is a handy small grocery store virtually next door where you can pick up some supplies. My only complaint was a smell that bothered me. It might have been strong air freshener or something the cleaning people use, but it was burning my nose (Dear Management— it felt totally unnecessary!).
