There is a reason I have been staying at the Elms for over 25 years. The motel is one of a kind, located conveniently to town yet secluded and quiet. The bungalow type units are quaint, and all are at ground level. The motel abuts the town’s beautiful park and provides a lovely green strip where you can relax and socialize with friends and with other guests. Harry and Ramila have always gone out of their was to accommodate my friends and I, as the Elms us our place to both organize and to wind down our annual High Sierra backpacking expeditions. In earlier days my wife and I would bring our sons and stay 2 nights before heading up to Tahoe. The Elms is Bishop’s hidden gem. 

 Bishop’s Gem

i love this place on my way to Mammoth.  I make it this far after leaving LA after work, get a great nights sleep, up early for their coffee and small breakfast and then do the 40 minutes to the ski hill.  It is perfect.

Clean and quaint

Very quiet and clean, comfortable bed. Setup like an auto camp of the past with duplex buildings, old style tiled standup shower. Small Room had 2 windows, and convenient parking is beside room.  Parklike area with lawn, trees, tables at the back of lot. Off the main drag so no traffic noise. I believe it was the least expensive in town.

Quiet motel in Bishop

Clean, quit, and classical.  The bed was comfortable and the AC worked great, shower was nice and our host was very pleasant. We used to outside tables outside for breakfast i the beautiful high desert morning. If back through Bishop again I will stay here.

Beautiful little motel

We’ve stayed at the Elms many times and have the place to be a good value.
This time, however, we felt that the maintenance has gone downhill.
The shower dripped all night and the A/C thermostat and fan speed controls were broken so the unit ran at full speed. Around midnight we gave up and turned it off. The bathroom sink was coming off the wall.
So where is the quality control? Harry, my friend, you can do better.


Not so good this time.

Stayed one night here before heading out to camp in the high sierras.  The property is clean and well maintained, but not new.  Close to the park.  Bed was just fine, shower was fine too.  Walking distance to restaurants and shops.  No complaints.  
The best feature is the fish cleaning station and community freezer where they let you store your catch.  Very thoughtful for travelers in this area.  
Don;t plan on having a great breakfast though - the offerings are meager.

Affordable and clean

If I could give 5 negative stars, I would. Place was gross. Smelled like urine coming out of the AC window unit, which blows straight to the bed, with NO  temp control, just low, med,high. Horrible smell and cold air, I ended up with a chest cold. I took my sandals off and was barefoot, and after walking around this postage stamp sized room, my feet were BLACK. No exaggeration. THE BEDDING -threadbare and tacky. There was actually a leopard print acrylic blanket, you know fleamarket style? The bed was old and had springs that made noise when turning over (boing)! The head was sloped down like it was broken down, and you get two child size pillows for sleeping. Bring your own everything. Seriously…these people should not be running a motel. The only nice thing was the end unit that backed to a nice grassy area BUT we were 1 of 3 guests at this motel, and they put us right next door to someone whose car was parked next to our front door. 
The fridge worked and there’s a coffee maker with 1 decaf and 1 regular coffee packet and 1 packet of sugar per cup and I stir stick to share. Really?? 
Cheap AF. The room is expensive for what you get. 
TV remote did not work properly to enter channels. Went to office and manager gave us a remote to make it work, but we had to return it. Seriously?
We asked for a couple more sugars in the morning and he was reluctant to give us extra. 
IDK this was the worst motel I’ve ever stayed at, and I’ll never stay there again!

Don’t waste your $$

The room was so small that we had to take turns walking around the bed to the bathroom, and the bed was only a double, old with springs in the mattress. The tv remote didn’t work and the owner didn’t believe me, nor spoke English. The window was painted shut, walls so thin you could hear the neighbors.
No free breakfast as advertise 
Construction men after work outside drinking and Bbq.
This might have been nice once but not anymore

Beware, it’s old and nasty

It was a night mare sleep in this place. Fortunately it only was for one night. The people behind the desk was not very friendly at all. But the worst thing was the our room. Very old and a high reno needed. In brief we are no going to stay again at this place.
