The check-in date was incorrect, due to auto reset in Expedia website (or user error). The motel honored the rate when we arrived at the end of a 10-day trip.

Clean and Comfy

We have stayed at The Bristlecone before. It’s a nice hotel. The beds are comfortable. But most important, affordable while not lacking on cleanliness.

Best of the non chains in town

Overall, it was a good one night stay. The room was very large, tile floors were great for dogs. Location was great. & of all the non-chain hotels in town, this one was definitely a top pick. The floor was a bit dirty, The door did not meet the floor so there was probably a 1/2 inch gap at the base, but I would come back. Overall fine stay. And a bargain.

The only drawback to this stay was the weak internet-I could not do some work that I needed to. The motel had an old fashioned feel to it but it had all the amenities and was lovely and quiet.

Location was good, on the main road. The room was basic but clean. On the downside the office is only open from 7:00 AM until 7:00 pm. So if you need assistance you have to call someone to come back to the motel.

Clean & Affordable

There was some lag between the booking on the site & its showing up in the motel's system, but it worked out. The room was tidy. The bathroom was clean; there were a couple of Cheet-oh pieces on the floor. The location is close to many businesses.

The room was old and dark with only one table lamp to light the space. The bed was uncomfortable. However, on a positive note it was very clean.
