Located in Lee Vining, this property sits directly on Mono Lake and offers some fantastic views. The room was clean, quaint, but has all you'd need to be comfortable and help explore the surrounding areas/Yosemite Park!

Property was run down. Rooms were hot and mobile swamp coolers didn't help, I wasn't able to sleep all night.

There was no tv, but it was cozy. The toilet ran all night had to turn the water to it off for it to stop. Very small room.

We stayed one night on Thursday and I think we were the only one there. So we had a very quiet and private time. A very charming, beautiful garden with a small creek running through. My dog loved running around. It is right across from Mono Lake. We got up early to watch the sunrise as the friendly staff strongly recommended it. Glad we did because it was breathtaking! They had a nice deck with benches built to sit and watch the sunrise. That was outstanding. They are currently building a stage to host concerts and events. That would be really charming. The 395 runs right in the front but no noise bothered us over night. In the morning time, you hear trucks go by seldomly. We are early risers and it didn't bother us at all. The room was huge with a king size bed, cozy living room, fully stocked kitchen and a Large Refrigerator. The white towels were clean and fluffy, I was impressed. I highly recommend it.

Booked as it was one of the closer options to Tioga/Yosemite east entry. Pricing is ok for the room. Lee Vining is the closest city 2mi. south from the lodge in case you are looking for dining options and gas.
Review of Mark Twain Room #1 specifically.
Pros:
* Larger unit
* Does have ceiling fan as well as AC window unit (unexpected as it wasn’t listed but a major plus when the sun is out)
* toiletries provided (also unlisted)
* comfortable bed
* shower/tub combo (pics show tub only)
* great view of lake especially at sunrise
Cons:
* bugs. Some can’t be helped like moths attracted to lights on porch that fly inside. Others included mosquitos/spiders. Maybe getting some type of bug repellent. We felt there has to be an opening to where the critters can get in.
* slight difference of what is listed on Expedia. Possible they’ve moved some things around to other units. Only a con if you were expecting a tub. Other differences were unexpected and considered pros
Overall, will stay again if in the area.

Perfect basic lodging for day trips in the Mono Basin and Eastern Sierra. Not long on amenities but the soaking tub in unit 4 was a life saver after a long day of hiking. Right
on the lake and rte. 395 and convenient to Lee Vining and
Tioga Pass Road.

Convenient, lovely grounds, huge bathtub that would drain Mono Lake to fill. Really comfortable beds. A little traffic noise but chills out at night.

The hotel is a little old, but the room was clean and very comfortable. The property has a beautiful view to the lake. The staff was very helpful and professional. Convenient stay if you're visiting Yosemite or Bodie.
