Don't ask for any service at the motel. Everything is self-service, there is no breakfast, and the health is better. Thank you very much. The point of rest on the way, in general, not extravagant. Go to Whitney Peak and drive to 12 miles. There is a Chinese meal for the rice people nearby.
** Dead Valley is a good night. House prices are much cheaper than in the scenic area, more than 30 miles to Death Valley. The front desk was very welcoming, but I went home after 8pm and needed self help. Come back at night, all 20 rooms are full. However, the surrounding area is basically deserted, because cafes no longer provide meals due to the small number of people. You can use the kitchen yourself. Outside, they have their own grilled BBQ. Stay overnight for a while. The room is like that, don't expect too much, it's old but clean.
