    If you're heading to Mammoth to ride all day and just crash at night, this place is a solid budget-friendly option. Around 40-45 minutes to slopes, if departing early AM with no snow chains. Expect room with all the basic necessities, including microwave and mini fridge, perfect if you meal prepped to save money. Even so, you're surrounded by food options within walking distance, including Eric Schat's Bakery. Front desk attendant was friendly and welcoming, helpful with orientation and greeted everyone good morning walking in for breakfast. At check-in, we had the option to choose between an upstairs or downstairs room. Downstairs made it convenient for loading boards, right next to FREE parking spaces. Staff was accommodating to provide additional amenities, such as extra towels and lotion. House keeping only upon request the night before. Complimentary breakfast starting at 6:00 AM. The breakfast area was packed with snowboarders on the dot, added to the vibe. Hot omelette and sausage, cereal, fruit, yogurt, muffins, and hard-boiled eggs. Great to fuel up for the mountain. Lady was quick to refill hot foods. There's also refreshing citrus water to quench your thirst in the lobby. That said, few things to be aware of. While the main room itself was clean, the shower area showed some wear, especially around the caulking where you could see mold. The showerhead also sits low - if you're over 6 feet tall, it's going to feel tight. The biggest downside is the thin walls & floors. You don't hear much street noise, but you absolutely hear people... every footstep, every toilet flush, rolling suitcases, and late-night arrivals. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. Can hear people coming in around 11 PM pretty clearly. 3.5 stars: Great if you value convenience, affordability, and friendly staff. Place delivers the basics, but noticeable drawbacks of worn shower & thin walls keep it from being a solid 4 or 5 star stay.

    Gap in the door

    The reservation said it was pre paid... It was not I booked a room with queen beds... They're more like doubles, if that Was the room clean... Not really. Floors looked liked they haven't been cleaned. It was a ground floor room and it was windy. There is about an inch and a half gap under the door I would think twice before booking here. Would give them more like a half star rating if I could.

    Booked a room for just one night before heading to Mammoth, so it was a very quick stay. Arrived around 8pm on a Friday night and there wasn't too much parking left. Maybe only 2-3 spots from the main lot. Not sure if there's more parking in the back. Check-in and check-out process was a breeze. Both employees were super friendly and professional. They ask for your car plate number to ensure your car good. The room itself was nothing more than you want from a very basic motel. The bed didn't have bed bugs, the bathroom was clean, shower pressure was nice (although the shower head is a bit low for tall people), the TV worked, the blackout curtains were effective, the electrical panels worked fine. We were only there to sleep one night so we didn't need it to have anything more. Breakfast starts at 6am, which is super convenient since we needed to leave super early for the slopes. Basic complimentary hotel food options, but the lady maintaining it, Maria, was the most adorable, friendly, and lovely person. She was attentive and on it with helping people out. She's so great. Good hotel option around the area if you don't want to pay too much to stay at Wayfinder or Cielo and not go super cheap and stay at a sketch motel/inn.

    I would give this place a zero. Our experience was horrible. The grounds were dirty and our room was even worse. The floors were not clean. The toilet seat was stained. The bathtub had a huge stain in it, so gross. There was hair in the tub so I knew it hadn't been clean. We had checked in late and they were sold out for that night. Not how I ever imaged a Best Western.

    What a gem! Incredible front desk customer service from Ben! He made a note that I was gluten free due to Celiac. Took out this notebook to assure me breakfast was safe! Did magic and got us a ground floor king and was just a nice guy.

    Overflowing pet waste bin and tons of cigarette butts (if a dog ate one of those it could be very bad)

    Best Western Bishop From the moment we checked in, it was just a not good experience. My wife booked the room on Expedia. She specifically looked for a pet friendly establishment, this came up in the search results with no caveats. So she booked a suite for us and our pet. Upon check in, she was told since we had a pet she could not have the suite. My wife showed him the reservation on Expedia, and she was rudely told, "That's not the hotel. That's Expedia." My wife looked back at him and pointed out that nowhere said anything about not having a suite with pets. When she said pets, he then asked her rudely, "how many pets do you have? You are only permitted one." Which also was not listed anywhere. We were traveling from PNW back to SoCal. We had her truck and were towing a storage trailer. We were told trailers were not permitted in the parking lot, unless we could fit into a single space. Once we got to the room, we dropped a water bottle, and when I went to clean it up with a towel, it came up black and dirty. Attached are the pictures of the corridor leading to our room, the dog run, which has not been cleaned or pet waste removed from the bin, and the strange clump of mystery hair under the bench, and a video of me wiping the supposedly clean floor. We travel a lot. And we have stayed in a plethora of hotels, but this is a first for us. This room, with Expedia discount, before tax, was approximately $225. This is the type of cleanliness and lack of service you would expect from a Super 8, not a Best Western.

    I travel back and forth to So Cal on 395 often, so I try to stay in many places to find finally those couple of right places to stay on my next trip where it is pleasant, especially clean and well kept. I would also say, as good a price as possible. This trip I was almost home on my way back. I just didn't want to travel the mountain roads at night. The snow had been melting since we'd just had a week of warm weather, all after a particularly long cold winter. This night the air chilled sooner than expected...traveling with icy roads at night, isn't my idea of a nice easy night time drive, so I stayed the night. I picked Best Western after asking 2 strangers where they would stay. They were residents. Both persons said The Best Western was cleanest and pleasant. I only have one negative for the room. The privacy curtains would not close in the middle. I had to put the rolling desk chair up against where the curtain comes together to keep from being seen in the room. Also, on the sides of the window, the curtain did not cover the windows to the edge. Anyone passing could clearly see into the room, with full view of the bed pillows and anyone seated there. I purposely went out and looked what I could actually see from walking by my room. So glad I wasn't too tired to notice! Other than that issue, everyone was pleasant and helpful. I did not complain except about the curtains. The room was great, the bed still comfy, wonderfully clean. While I did not eat the generous breakfast provided, it smelled great and was very popular. In the room they provided Wolfgang Puck Coffee. Very nice tasting coffee actually! The Best Western Motel was a bit steep in price, but it was fishing time, rivers overflowing their banks, beautiful green valleys, and more wildflowers than I have seen in many years past! A beautiful time of year. So, I guess the price was warranted especially on a Saturday evening....With the exception of the curtains. It was late for me and I didn't wish to pack back up and change rooms.

    King-size bed bedroom. Spacious enough for a small table.

    I enjoyed my overall experience here and would recommend staying at this Best Western for anyone who plans to stay 1-2 nights. Not only is the customer service nice, but the location is convenient. The room was spacious, the TV quality and volume was excellent, and the area is quiet. A good spot for someone who just need rest from traveling. There is an outdoor pool and spa that is open to those in the parking lot and not exposed to the public. Safe for families. The pool and spa do need to be cleaned, but was clean enough to go in for the late afternoon. Temperature of the pool was cool, and lots of seating area to tan or rest. There is a spot for BBQ-ing and a small kitchen area on the opposite side where you can clean fish or prep whatever meal you want to put on the grill. That small kitchen is stainless steel and can accommodate those who enjoy fishing or barbecuing. If you are a sensitive sleeper like myself, I recommend booking a room on the top floor. The people upstairs were either heavy steppers or the ceiling is just thin. Also, though there is air conditioning, it is loud even at the lowest setting. It does keep the room cool, and if you choose to dry your bathing suit and towel in the room, you will smell it. As far as breakfast, it is your standard continental breakfast, but more than just muffins and fruit. You get to make waffles and pancakes, toast bread, eat boiled eggs, yogurt, fruits, and cereals. I recommend this for quick breakfast or to feed a large family. It is walking distance from many of what the city of Bishop offers and if you choose not to walk, driving is a quick drive up the street to all eateries.

We arrived in town at 7 PM on a Friday looking for last-minute, pet friendly lodging. After seeing a few dire motels, we debated driving through the night home, but thankfully we stumbled upon Wayfinder. The walk in rates are reasonable given what you get. A great bar and dinner area with a super comfy and cozy lobby, delicious free buffet breakfast, super cozy beds, a beautiful creek with chairs and outdoor seating, gardens with secluded benches, a pool, a hot tub, and free chocolate chip cookies. It was super easy to eat outside with our dog and still enjoy the amenities. They also gave us a treat bag upon checkin which was very sweet. I'm not sure what else you could hope for in a small mountain town, but I'd definitely return!

Before booking, travelers should understand that Wayfinder appears to enforce its cancellation policy even when a major wildfire prevents the original trip from taking place. The hotel offered to convert my one night reservation into a credit, but only if I selected and confirmed new travel dates within 48 hours. In my view, that is not a reasonable accommodation. When travel is unexpectedly disrupted by a natural disaster, it can take weeks or months to determine when a replacement trip will be possible. A more customer-friendly approach would be to issue a credit valid for 6-12 months and allow guests to book new dates when their plans are finalized. We also discussed moving the reservation forward by one night to accommodate our revised itinerary. While I understand that weekend rates are higher, the additional cost would have been several hundred dollars, making that option impractical. As a result, I lost the cost of one night's stay and will not be booking with Wayfinder in the future. This was my first experience with the company, and unfortunately it left me with the impression that there is little flexibility for guests facing extraordinary circumstances beyond their control. Management already has my contact information. I hope you'll reconsider and issue a credit that can be used within the next year, rather than requiring a new reservation to be booked within 48 hours.

I didn't totally trust that the barrier on the top bunk was high enough to prevent my kiddo from falling off so I had her sleep in the bottom bunk. The room was small but we knew that and it was enough space for three of us. We loved how it was decorated down to the individually wrapped towels in the bathroom. No TV which I also liked and forced us to hang out together! We were on the second floor and there were comfy rocking chairs on the deck where we sat at night and enjoyed our wine. We were able to borrow the wine glasses in the community kitchen which was very convenient. We also spent time on the couches outside the kitchen and the Adirondack chairs in the yard - just a lot of open places to hang out which was nice. The airstream store is super cute. We didn't get a chance to try their coffee but did buy one of the treats and also some gifts from the gift shop and played yard games in front. Schatt's bakery is next door which was a nice bonus and we grabbed breakfast there in the morning and brought it back. The entire property was clean and well maintained. Walking distance to the bowling alley where we went for a couple hours to play and also get a delicious steak (yes from the bowling alley cafe - no joke!). We'd definitely stay here again when passing through Bishop.
