Just off Highway 395 in downtown Bishop, this budget-friendly motel offers straightforward, clean rooms and all the basics for a comfortable stay. The location puts you within walking distance of Bishop’s main drag, so you’re not isolated even though rates stay reasonable. With your dog, you’ll appreciate that the rooms are ground-level and easy to access without wrestling luggage up stairs or navigating elevators.

The outdoor heated pool is a nice bonus if you visit during warmer months—you can cool off after a day exploring the Eastern Sierra. Fishing at nearby lakes like Sabrina or South Lake is close by, and the Buttermilks climbing area draws a lot of visitors. Even if you’re just passing through on Highway 395, this motel works well as a base for a night or two before continuing north or south.

Mornings start with a complimentary continental breakfast, which saves you from having to find a café early. If you want more substantial meals, several restaurants are within a mile: La Casita, Bar BQ Bill’s-Oney’s, Raymond’s Deli, Taqueria Las Palmas, Jack’s Restaurant, and Pizza Factory all offer different options depending on what you’re in the mood for.

The motel does allow dogs in certain rooms, though there is a pet fee. Rooms include free Wi-Fi and cable TV, and there’s guest laundry if you need it. Free parking is available, which matters in a town center location. Everything here is straightforward—you won’t find luxury touches or trendy design, but you get what you need without overpaying. It’s the kind of place where you can spend your money on actually doing things around Bishop rather than on the room itself. Typical rates run $109–$129 per night, depending on season.
