Mammoth Mountain Inn

Mammoth, California

Virgin rating

The hotel

Built in 1957, Mammoth Mountain Inn was Mammoth's first ski-resort accommodation and the only slope-side hotel at Mammoth's Main Lodge. Today it offers activities year round — in summer there's hiking, biking and outdoor adventures, and in winter it's a core skiers' and snowboarders' paradise, with the ultimate entry point to the slopes. Ski to the hotel at the end of the day and you can soon be blowing the steam off your hot toddy. Take a dip in the outdoor pool or one of the indoor or outdoor hot tubs. The Yodler dining terrace is the ideal place for a light snack on a sunny day and the great après-ski atmosphere in the Dry Creek Lounge is further enhanced by regular live music.

I needed a place to stay last minute for a nearby wedding. I called and the person I spoke to on the phone was very helpful in finding a room that suited my needs and confirming 24hr check in. Unfortunately an even more last minute change of plans caused me to be unable to arrive until the next morning. I was put in contact with Mr. Eby the manager who responded to my email within 48hrs. He was helpful and professional and was able to secure me a partial refund for my room despite the beyond last minute cancel. I only made it to the front desk but the inside of the hotel seemed very nice. Read less

Amazing experience. We went to celebrate our anniversary and had a great time. Brian H at front desk was amazing. We will come back again to this place. Breakfast is little expensive and rest all is great. All activities are near by and so no parking issues.

We had a dog friendly mix up for our planned weekend get away so spur of the moment changed to MMI and our weekend was wonderful. Extremely dog friendly, good food options on site and easy access to great outdoor recreation. All staff were wonderful but a special shout out to Stephen, night front desk person - our last morning we planned to take the shuttle to a hiking area but realized we probably needed a late checkout; he expressed the manager who could authorize did not get in until 8:00 am but by then we would be on our hike in a fairly remote area so unknown cell coverage. Stephen not only passed in our request but with such detail that when I received the manager’s text authorizing the late checkout it included referencing where we were hiking. We’re planning on returning for some fall color. Read less

We had a fantastic stay at Mammoth Mountain Inn. The location was perfect for taking the gondola up the mountain and only a short drive into town. The service was lovely, a special mention to Tatihana who very kindly moved us to a bigger, airier room after I told her my husband was poorly. We’ll definitely be visiting again soon!

Had a great stay at Mammoth Mountain Inn, old hotel with lots of charm and a perfect location if you want to be next to the mountain. Hotel staff was phenomenal, went above and beyond to make the visit comfortable and memorable. Natalie, Tati, and Cyd were superb. Their kindness and hospitality made the trip for me. Will definitely be back.
