We stay 1 night at the Ray's Den Motel during our trip between Yosemite and Death Valley. The owners were very nice! They help us for printing a document and they give us very good tips for visiting Death Valley and were to go to eat in Independence (they give us coupons). The motel is close to main street but...

My father and I were in Independence for a work weekend doing our part to help restore the #18 steam locomotive at Dehy Park (pronounced day-hee) and this made for a great base of operations. The Motel itself is small (only 8 or so rooms), quiet... More

Ray's Den in Independence awards a step back in time. We stayed in a clean, well-appointed room with a king bed, a refrigerator, microwave oven, a coffee pot, airconditoner and a hairdryer for almost half of what we paid at a middle class chain hotel the day before in Lone Pine. Linda, the proprietor, was very pleasant, welcoming and efficient.... More

Ray’s Den motel epitomizes the importance of paying close attention to TripAdvisor reviews. Overall, the TripAdvisor reviews on Ray’s Den are glowing. Having stayed there very recently I am pleased to agree that Ray’s Den is indeed outstanding (nay…‘superlative’). We occupied the ‘family room’ (two double beds). The beds were very comfortable. The bedroom, bathroom and shower were spotlessly clean.... More

We wanted to break up our trip to June Lake and saw the Den on the internet. When I called for reservations, Linda was so friendly and welcoming- it was a sure thing we were going to stay there. What a pleasant surprise! The rooms are super clean, cozy and comfortable, with some fun personal touches you don't find in... More
