We arrived after 8 p.m. and doors were locked - we never received a code to get into our room - we couldn't get ahold of anybody at the hotel - we ended up having our reservation canceled - paid the full rate for two consecutive nights without even staying there - had to find another hotel last minute late at night - talked to front desk about any possible resolution to the issue and she directed me to "just send an e-mail" because I guess the hotel manager "doesn't like talking on the phone" I send a polite e-mail asking what could be done to correct our situation and basically got told to kick rocksDon't stay here. Management is obvious rude, disinterested in customer service - seemingly predatious business practices.Highly suggest considering other accommodations in town first - this place as a last resort.

I loved the location and views were great but no common area for a "hostel". We were also about to leave and the front desk lady comes barrging in and asks if were finally leaving we still had 7 mins left to leave. She's extremely rude. The teenager at night wasn't much more helpful either about information. I would say that's the only thing holding it back from being a great place.

Clean bed, clean sheets & blanket, HOT shower, and a bunk bed. Army life is good life. Right accross the street tou can get a Fantastic burger & a beer. Perfect for after a hard day motorcycling thru those Frigid, windy mountains on wet slick roadsRooms: Clean bunk beds, with obviously well cleaned linen. Shower in the suite shared by 6Walkability: Easy walk to shops & food. Laundry is 100meters away!

We showered. It was great for $10 and clean and friendly. They should run the laundry mat in town too

Came here and paid ten bucks to shower after climbing Mount Whitney in July 2021. Well-maintained facilities. Nice and clean. Would highly recommend.

Stopped in after 4 days in the backcountry looking for a shower. This hostel and gear shop offers $10 showers (towels and soap included). The folks here are friendly, showers are hot and clean. There's also a hiker box in the store.

We stayed in a dormitory room. It was very clean. They send key code via text. Room had microwave ovens, mini fridge. Room is bit small though. But it was very comfortable for just a night stay.Rooms: Clean room

No frills, you get what is advertisedConveniently near the highway. Room has fridge and microwave.Only downside is the rooster crowing in the morning which isn't there fault at all.

Great room, helpful staff, and easy remote checkin. 4 stars because our room was next to the road, it was SO noisy. If you’re a light sleeper, a loud truck driving may wake you up in the middle of the night.

No issues with the hotel. The staff is very nice and it was a good place to stay for our trip to Mt. Whitney. Quiet enough to outside noise, and it was clean. The AC unit in our room was loud and made inconsistent whirring noises and the TV wasn’t plugged into anything. So far from luxurious but that’s not really why you’re staying in Lone Pine anyways.Nearby activities: Great spot to post up in hiking in Alabama Hills or Mt. Whitney.Walkability: Located in the center of Lone Pine, you can easily stay parked at the hotel and stroll anywhere you’d like to go.

Clean dorm room, friendly staff at check-in. It felt pretty safe to leave some of my stuff unattended while climbing Whitney.

Get one of the private rooms on the back of the building as they are much quieter than the bunk room. The queen room was spacious enough that I was able to get cleaned up and have a great night's rest after climbing Whitney. Checkin/checkout was easy as they sent me a room code via text, so even though I was late coming off the trail I had easy access directly to the room without having to get a key.

As with others in the 1 star I booked a room and then had to cancel because of road work that made it difficult to impossible to get the hostel. The Caltrans twitter said not to count on the road being accessible so I cancelled my reservation to drive a different route. I did not get a refund. However, my main issue is the woman kept insisting I couldn't get a refund because I booked through booking.com which I did not. I booked through the hostel website. My confirmation email and cancellation email came from reservationcounter.com which is the system you use if you book directly through the hostel. She showed me the screen shot showing booking.com and I showed her my email that was clearly not from booking.com. Then she just did not respond and kept my $190. Also it was a Saturday night on spring break and the Dow had been full for three weeks prior so I am pretty sure they kept my money and then charged someone else for the same room...I cancelled over 24 hours before check in and they had plenty of time to receive the notice. The Dow Villa is directly next store, is comparable in price and is far more accommodating to last minute changes to traveling which happen to everyone. I have been staying at the Dow for over 15 years for work and personal travel and never had anything but good experiences including with last minute changes. They were full so I thought I would try next store but that was a huge mistake.
