Needed a cleaner room that didn’t smell like dead people.
Pros:

I liked the layout of the room. We stayed in a studio two bedroom. The king bed was on the top floor and the bottom had a Murphy bed, with a decent kitchen area.

Cons:

The room we stayed in 605 on the second floor of the west building, smelled so bad. My sister kept saying it smelt like human pee, like a drunk homeless person had peed everywhere. My mom said our room smelt like someone had died in it. We had allergies in just the room alone, every time we went outdoors our sinus would clear so I know it was the room. It helped if we opened the windows to air it out. The carpet and the furniture needed to be deep cleaned because they had stains in them. The bathrooms in the room looked like the bath tubs hadn’t been cleaned, I wanted to buy soft scrub with bleach to clean it myself. It was a horrible experience staying here and the construction being done was in the wrong areas in my opinion, they were working on walls of the garage but probably should’ve been working on the rooms and putting in new carpet and replacing the dusty carpet.

Convenient for skiing, but not worth the price due to the poor facilities and uncomfortable accommod
Pros:

The only thing I like about the hotel is its location; it's very convenient for skiing.

Cons:

The only positive thing about this hotel is its location, which is very convenient for skiing.

Other than that, the property was quite disappointing. The amenities were limited to three hot tubs, and the outdoor one was noticeably dirty. The gym was tiny, and the game room was equally small.

The furniture was in terrible condition. The couches were the most worn-out I've ever seen, with the upholstery peeling everywhere. Honestly, I've seen furniture left on the curb in better shape.

There was no air conditioning in the room. We stayed in a small two-story duplex, and the temperature control was awful. The first floor was cold, while the second floor was unbearably hot. We've stayed in similar duplex units at other hotels and never experienced this problem.

The only fan provided upstairs was incredibly loud—it sounded like an airplane was flying directly overhead. To make matters worse, there wasn't even a microwave in the room.

For the price we paid, the hotel felt outdated, poorly maintained, and lacking many of the basic amenities you'd expect. Aside from the location, I would not stay here again.

Perfect place for a ski day. Not fancy. Clean. Comfortable beds. Perfect location!!
Pros:

We booked the double beds room, which is in the Yodle Haus (a separate building). It was clean and the beds were comfortable, but since it’s an old property, it’s nothing special. TBH it was 100% better than I was expecting it to be based on the price! The main lodge was much grander.

Cons:

The pool / hot tub area had too many chemicals in it. I probably wouldn’t swim there again. My husband was disappointed at how old the building was. The bathroom was tiny. You could barely close the door! It kinda gives off employee housing vibes. They also charge an extra $30 resort fee on top of the booking.com price and fees.

Tranquilo relajante vista
Pros:

Todo estuvo excelente y muy amable el personal

Cons:

Del hotel todo muy bien pero en lo particular sobre booking.com es que al momento de ofrecer precios no mencionan ni incluyen nada sobre los tantos impuestos de resort, ocupancia , etc seria muy bueno incluir esto o al menos una parte y no tener un sobrecargo altisimo aparte de todos los depositos sobretodo si se viaja con presupuesto limitado .

Ski in/ski out from MMI
Pros:

MMI is the most convenient lodging if you want to ski or ride. Hernan hooked me up with a great view of the mountain.

RILEYS the man. Mammoth inn is amazing.
Pros:

Mammoth mountain inn is always amazing. Easy for families and activities. Everyone is very helpful, especially RILEY! He’s the man, I hope he gets to be here for as long as he wants. He’s got jokes and great information, just a great refreshment of customer service. The rooms are great, I was told there’s a renovation coming but honestly if you’re staying here just for the rooms then you’re doing it wrong. Get your butt out and enjoy the sites. This is just a great place to stay in a great location. We’ve valued every part of the trip.

Location and warm welcome
Pros:

This has been the most incredible experience. The location cannot be beat where it takes three minutes to walk to the gondola. Everything‘s at your fingertips – good dinners, Great Coffee, Great Fitness with Peloton. What a score. The rooms are great. I need to send a special shout out to MAILEILANI. She is outstanding. She took care of everything for this trip and made us so comfortable and we felt so valued. I’m so appreciative. MAILEILANI has a wonderful, friendly disposition and really wants to go overboard to make a guests’ stay memorable Thank you!

Beautiful location and exceptional staff

Thank you so much for a wonderful experience at the Mammoth Mountain Inn!! The hotel is beautiful and the location could not be better! We rode up on the gondola and the view was incredible. Everyone we encountered was courteous, enthusiastic and helpful. We felt welcome and secure out entire time there. Thank you, especially to Andi, Maile, Tatihana and Victoria. We look forward to seeing you again.

Solid hotel meets its primary purpose - getting you on the slopes conveniently!
Pros:

Friendly staff, esp at the front desk and the general store. Solid facilities located right at the slopes and Main Lodge. At checkin, the clerk was very helpful getting us into the right room. Really appreciated the free on-site parking!

Cons:

Exterior and hallways feel a bit shabby - it’s a well-used place but has real potential. For example, the classic warm lights (think of a national park lodge) have been replaced with bluish, hospital clinic white lights - not a western vibe like one would expect. Probably cheaper, though.

Would definitely go again
Pros:

Stayed at Mammoth Mountain Inn for a 4 day 3 night family snow filled mini vacay / bday celebration. The hotel’s location was very convenient as it was right in front of the lifts and the gondola. The employees were very helpful and polite especially Hernan you helped us from the moment we checked in til we checked out. We had the best time snowboarding and our toddler had the best time of his life playing in the snow especially it being his first time. Our overall experience was 5/5. Would definitely go again.

Great location, Riley is very nice.
Pros:

Rooms are very dated but in a great location. Riley checked us in and was just so pleasant and helpful. He was lovely. I had to go to the desk once to ask for help and unfortunately I got Ben, who was rude and very unhelpful. So, look at the name tags and avoid Ben and see if you can find Riley.

Thanks, Hernan!
Pros:

Thanks, Hernan, for the smooth check-in and positive vibes! Since the hotel was not very full, I got to have an upgraded room with a mountain view. Ski in/out is unbeatable and I took full advantage of the ski valet for storing my board. Great place to stay when Main is still open for great spring riding!

Hands down, the Best place to stay!!
Pros:

Flew over from Honolulu to stay at the mammoth mountain inn at main lodge. From the airport in Reno, was able to take a shuttle to the village and catch a short Uber up. It was a long day of travel and great to be met at the front desk with a friendly smile and roaring fireplace. Hernan was so helpful checking us in. He gave us recommendations and helped accommodate special request, as our friends were meeting us a few days later. We were packing gear and are staying for 5 days. We really appreciate the staff here and shout out to Hernan for making our stay the best! Can't beat great hospitality and location with snow! Our room was spacious and clean and lucky to score the ikon pass discount on our stay.
