We usually stay in Bishop on the way back to San Diego from Lake Tahoe, but I forgot to make a reservation, and tried to make one in Lone Pine. Then saw the price for the Courthouse Motel In Independence was pretty good, so made reservation there. Now I would say the price was too high. The motel is obviously a very old place which they have tried to fix up, but it was a really tiny room, so was hard for two people to walk around in it. The bed was up against the wall on one side, and although there was a table with one chair, the chair was in the way if one person sat in it. The tap in the bathtub was leaking all night, which was a worry, especially since we have such a water shortage in California. There obviously was no breakfast provided, since it was such an old, very small motel. Although the owner/manager was nice, all in all, we wouldn't stay there again.
