Lakeview Motel

We Stayed at Lakeview motel during a very trying time for the locals of lake Isabella. While wild fires threatened so many of their homes it was business as usual making visitors feel welcomed and cared for. The ownerOf the motel was so hospitable and kind, taking the time to really make sure we had everything we needed for our stay even though her own home away from town was in jeopardy. We left early due to the Smokey conditions but are already planning to return for our next trip we take to the lake. Check out the bowling alley in town the food is amazing!

Hey this is a cool little spot reasonably priced. It's definitely not the Ritz but what do you expect in the middle of BFE? Clint the manager is very pleasant and accommodating making sure we have all we need and plenty of towels. All in all I really have no complaints.

Upon arrival my room was not quite ready and the manager came to me and was very polite, kind and courteous. Gave me a different room and welcomed me. The room was clean, the sheets were soft and the heater worked wonderfully. I would say for this price the room was a valued stay. Thank you for the room.

If you want to feel eerie and have a strange stay, this is the place for you. Even though I'm a rat and am used to such establishments, I wanted something nice to stay in for a change. Owners seem really nice and check-in was very easy / contact-free. The best part was the door code keypad which was the only thing from this era. However, it was less nice than the pictures I saw online. When we entered the place, all the windows were open but that didn't help the odor. The room def had a strange smell - the sheets smelled like marinaded sweat, a hint of cigarettes, there was previously used soap clinging onto the sink like a barnacle, and it was overall really rundown. The internet reminded of my old AOL days and when my show froze due to the low bandwidth, I was soothed by my neighbor's snoring which went right through the thin walls. During my sleep, I was caressed by the sounds of loud cars and motorcycles which only woke me up five times. It's not cheap for what it is but great material for your commentary podcast and I will fasho not be coming back.

If I could give it a minus 5 star I would, the pictures my friend saw that led us to rent here WAS nothing like what we got... there is a door in the kitchenette that unlocked.. the beds were filthy, had crumbs looked like they hadn't been changed..the carpet was stained and didn't appear to have been vacuumed, there were dead flies, moths under the windows and in the bathroom... the room looked like it was from one of the ID murder programs THANK GOD FOR DISINFECT SPRAY and WIPES...I saw other yelp reviews and thank goodness we didn't get bit by bedbugs... VERY VERY disappointed for the price we paid...

The motel wasnt it seemed om the website. FALSE ADVERTISING!! what u see in pictures is not what u going to get! They advertised the pictures of the place that make it look so pretty and convincing at night, but really, during the day time, it's super ghetto! We stayed in room 8. The microwave is defective!!! We had to cook our ramen for 30 minutes to make it ready to eat! The beds got stains on the side. The picnic tables are not clean! No toilet papers but you have to request one even when they're closed after 10pm! I'm really disappointed. They only have 1 grilling fireplace which is already in use by others. The front desk girl was really dishonest. I asked if I can request a refund for one night we didn't stay in because we weren't really happy with our stay and the distance to the main sequoia national forest. She said most likely I would get a refund but the property manager messaged me that they refused to give me the refund back because it was my fault that I didn't listen to the front desk girl about the 90 minutes route but I never even brought up about my plan to the national forest. If you are trying to get to the main Sequoia National Forest, it's a 4 hours drive! What you see in pictures is not what u not gonna get! The bed sheets are very thin!!!!!!! I got these annoying bedbug bites! Not comfortable as well! If I'm not happy with this place, you won't either! Super ghetto! Don't waste your energy on this place!

Dirty, run down and needs to be completely renovated. Spend a few more bucks and stay elsewhere.

Nice little motel. Had to relocate because of flooding outside my door. Bad drainage. Good bang for your buck. Manager is real nice.

My family and I always stay here while visiting Lake Isabella. This place is very cozy and welcoming. I love the easy check in process along with the separation of the room, bathroom and eating area. The pricing is always affordable, and the management is very attentive. Clint is always helpful and when we see him out walking the property, he checks to make sure we have what we need to make our stay the best possible. Thank you, Clint, for welcoming my family with a smile and your positivity.

Contacted by yet 3 other people who stayed in room #9 - all girls got bed bugs bites!!!!Obviously that place does not care about making sure the rooms are treated - even after customers complain about issues
