Los Banos

This was a great find last year for my annual trip up north and I was looking forward to staying there again. For an extremely reasonable price, this little gem is very comfortable: the bedding, the higher height bed and bathroom fixtures, a shower with elbow room. The landscaping, decor and amenities are extravagant for what was originally a classic Americana mid-century U-shaped motel. Their housekeeper does an exceptional job cleaning and preparing the rooms. Do leave her a tip, won't you?

Hospitality at its best

I stayed here a few times traveling back and forth between the Bay Area and LA for business purposes. It's the best choice for an overnight stay in this part of the Central Valley because of the value, secureness, privacy, easy checkin/out process, cleanliness, and functional rooms. It's fairly quiet and you get a parking spot. It's near I-5 and several other state highways, so easy to access. No major homeless encampments or tweekers spoted in the immediate vacinity. Some stores, gas stations closeby. I'd recommend to anybody looking for a decent place for a short stay. It lives up to it's name. Economical, yet solid product. 

The Economy delivers every time 

Very nice older hotel well kept - family run. Room was clean and had a great bed! Plants in parking lot very well maintained. We talked with the owners and they recommended good Italian restaurant down the block. 
I loved that the hotel has an older style feel - tray ceiling - crown molding . Very nice ! Thank you!!

Great family owned motel !

Stayed here because my daughter gave birth to a lovely baby girl in Los Banos.
Things started off nice with the manager who welcomed me and my wife with open arms. Price was o.k. so we stayed for three (3) nights at $80.00 each night. Found out later that I was charged right away ! Thought it was due at check-out ? Any way the rooms were nice and the beds were comfortable and the room came equipped with USB plugs which was essential for the cell phone (s), shower was really small as well as the bathroom as a whole but the room size of the main room semi sizable.

Stayed a fourth night because daughter hadn't given birth just yet so paid for another night, which again was billed right away on my to my c.c. Boom !
After the fourth night came and went I wanted to book another night but was told someone else had reservations for that particular room and was told that there was no other rooms available . So when I proceeded to check-out the mangers mother came to the window and said " I'm not supposed to tell you this but we do have another room with two beds but the residents haven't checked out so come back in about a hour and they should be checked out" . So my wife and I went out for a bite to eat.
When I came back to check on that room, now I'm dealing with the original manager as the first, when he came to the window he said that they had NO vacancies and was told by both the mother and son who owns the place that some homeless people paid  for another day and "it's to close to the main highway any way. Why didn't Mom and son tell me this in the fist place ? 
I was played big time by these people. 
Don't trust them because all they want is your money.
Room service was nice when you could get it. Woman I had was a real sweetie.

Right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing......................

I found the Economy Inn Los Banos to be one unpretentious gem of a budget accommodation in California’s Central Valley, quite conveniently located between Yosemite and Monterey Bay. On previous visits to Yosemite, I stayed in or near Merced which, unfortunately, has seen an increase in criminal activity - I’m from L.A. and even felt quite unsettled on my last budget lodging experience there! So on this recent trip where my son and I were making our way from Yosemite Valley onto Monterey the following morning, I noticed the reviews for Economy Inn in Los Banos and decided to give it a try for our rest. We were not disappointed! We stayed in Room 32 with two very comfortable queen beds, great TV channel access, fridge with freezer, iron & ironing board, A/C, and a lovely shower (no bathtub in this room at least). And it was immaculately tidy. There are a few convenient eateries within walking distance - recommend Mountain Mike’s Pizza, delicious! - and even a DIY car wash across the road to get excess dust and insects off your vehicle, $1.50/4-minute cycle. I would DEFINITELY stay at Economy Inn Los Banos again and highly recommend it to anyone - it covers all your basic rest stop needs very nicely. And if you’re on a budget, consider that it’s only a 2-hour leisurely weekday drive from Yosemite Valley via Highway 140 and about 90 minutes to Monterey & Pacific Grove.

Please note in advance there is no breakfast food service provided. Coffee service is available, but no tea for an option. I’d recommend that the Management could maybe provide a few tea bags as an alternative. But again, there are a few eateries within walking distance for breakfast.

A cute and comfortable place to rest your head!

After a long day's drive, I pulled into the Economy Inn and instantly began to exhale. It's a refreshingly small, friendly inn built in the 1950's. The landscaping is lush, the rooms simple but well-appointed, and the person who greeted me at the front desk proudly stated that his father had done all the landscaping. It was truly a great value and a rare treat to stay in a small family-owned inn rather than one of the national chain motels. If you're close by and looking for a place to stay, I highly recommend the Economy Inn.

A charming, cozy, comfortable family-owned inn

The proprietor of this older motel property has really pulled off a wonderful remodel and upgrade!  An old-fashion motor court design, we love parking right in front of our room to unpack and get settled.  The exterior landscaping is marvelous, with small palms and beautifully mature succulents.  Our room had a comfy bed, a small table with two chairs, a television with cable, and a small refrigerator and microwave.  The bathroom was completely remodeled and impeccable in appointments, size and cleanliness.  Room lights were adjustable and ample, and the ceiling features corner moldings and a recessed molding with with accent painting that was very restful.  We slept well and recommend this lodging for it’s reasonable price and amenities!

Reasonable and nicely done!

Tiny rooms, but comfortable.  Not a great place for kids, no fun they said. Clean but noisy, too close to street. Windows are not Insulated noise proof. Windows shades won't block light from outside, making it hard to sleep, but Nice decor. Central to everything around like stores, carwash, food places.

Fair price

The owners have made considerable efforts to gussy up this small, older property. It is conveniently located mid town with many restaurants, car wash, shopping close by. Units closer to the street are affected by traffic noise. Parking is pretty tight. Appealing to the price-conscious traveller. Be forewarned... the staff have no idea of how to relate to their guests as highlighted by previous reviewers.


Quaint, well-priced lodging.

Just for a night out, very clean but very soft bed, missing a coffee maker, very noisy because it's poorly soundproofed, good quality price ratio, several restaurants around to eat at all hours.
