Over the years, I've stayed at the Quality Inn Lone Pine a number of times and my most recent stay there has made me think about exploring other lodging options in Lone Pine. The property and rooms are nothing special. Quality Inn is merely a place to bed down for the night when you're on the road. My last stay at Quality Inn came after hiking Mt. Whitney. My wife and I got to our room late in the evening and went to bed hungry (in part because the fast food restaurants of Lone Pine close their doors early). In the morning, my wife and I went to the hotel's complimentary breakfast, which is officially billed as being "hot, fresh and healthy." What we found is coffee, cereal and one solitary waffle machine. You could tell the 12 guests who were playing musical chairs around the waffle machine were thinking, "***." A lot of tourists pass through Lone Pine and pit-stop at this hotel. At the complimentary breakfast, I saw Asian and Australian tourists. The Asians actually chose to buy breakfast from the hotel vending machine and the Australian tourist said aloud, "zero stars for me." I travel quite a bit, and I can tell you most hotel chains currently provide many more breakfast food options than a waffle machine. I drank my coffee and waited for my turn at the waffle machine, but in the end I decided I'd rather drive to McDonalds to grab breakfast than fight for the chance tom make my own waffle. The complimentary breakfast at Quality Inn Lone Pine is an epic fail, and overall there's nothing impressive about this hotel to keep them coming back. I submit (backed by the international hotel guests I recently encountered) it be appropriately renamed "Basic Inn."
