“Friendly and a nice location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2012

This hotel did not appear on travel sites so we had to search around and came across their website. Can't book online and we ended up phoning which was a little annoying but in the end worth it.

Chad and Patty were friendly and helpful, and the room was a good size. It backed onto the forest and we enjoyed looking out trying to spot bears! (we didn't see any).

Mammoth Lakes is a nice place to stay in stunning scenery.

The only letdown was the small breakfast but we didn't pay very much for the room anyway.

Overall recommended.

“Great night's sleep in comfy bed + nicely updated large rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 30, 2012

I was a little worried about booking here when I had a very hard time getting someone on the phone, but I'm glad I waited a few hours and made the reservation. We were planning a backpack trip nearby and I REQUIRE a good night's sleep in a comfy bed the night before. I was very happy to arrive and find the king bed had a memory foam topper that made it a dream to sleep on. Also, the room was very large and included a fridge and microwave. The location across from the village and several restaurants was super convenient. They did a great job on their renovation, selecting materials and colors similar to the Hyatt we recently stayed in! The only things that could still be improved: we sleep better when it's cool, and the ceiling fan in our room was by the fireplace, so it didn't really help us cool off, even with the window open; the free breakfast wasn't really worth bothering, unless you only eat bagels or store-bought mini muffins, which looked okay. We didn't expect to find much of a free breakfast since our room rate was so low, so this wasn't a big deal. But I wouldn't want a family to expect they'll be able to skip breakfast out. With the fridge and microwave in your room, however, you could bring your own! All in all, the motel was definitely a great value at the price paid. Unless you are looking for the extra amenities of the Westin, save your vacation money for a trip on the gondola and stay at Holiday Haus instead.

Room Tip: The Deluxe rooms have a king bed. The rooms that face the street back up to a quiet wooded area, so...

“Newly Renovated After Many Pleasant Years Staying There”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 10, 2012

We've stayed here for many years on annual fishing trips to the Mammoth Lakes area and have always enjoyed the good value and central location. It's been "well-worn" for a number of years but always served our purposes just fine. Now last summer they completely renovated the place and it has really improved with room prices still one of the best deals in the entire Bishop to Lee Vining area. Having only 15 rooms, it's a small motel but the rooms are very large and two are big enough "cabins" (still just large motel rooms to me - not free standing cabins) that they have complete kitchens with full frig, stove, etc. They now also have a free, very adequate continental breakfast and free wifi in the rooms which are nice additions. Located on Main St. it's still in a quiet section but within easy walking distance of restaurants, shopping, etc. Set among the trees and down off the street, it's a little tricky to see from Main St. if you're not familiar with the area. Just look for the distinctive large sign hidden somewhat in the trees but close to the street and then a sharp driveway down into the place. Parking is limited for the number of rooms but adequate. New flat screen TVs with a large cable selection is also new and welcomed. All in all, a good place to stay whether fishing, skiing, biking or whatever in this beautiful region of California.

Room Tip: If interested in rooms with complete kitchen/dining area ask for either Room 14 or 15.

“Very comfortable, great rates for location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 6, 2012

We had a great 2 nights and plan to return. Beds were great, clean, large bath, and since we were on ground floor we had a gas fireplace.The place was full but all was quiet. We have spent as much as we spent in 2 days for one night and it was not half as nice or as clean.

Room Tip: Only 10 - 15 units make reservations ground floor is our choice for convenience.
