Outstanding value. Great location and awesome host. I would highly recommend staying here.

WOW! Spent 5 nights here June 20-24 2020, The owners/staff are Amazing. Such a nice B&B breakfast served to my door daily with an egg sandwich, fruit, coffee and OJ. It was my birthday on the 21st and when we got back there was Champaign on ice waiting for me. The level of attention was beyond what I expected! Another positive thing is that thay are Dog friendly.. my pup even got a goodie bag... thank you for such a nice place to lay my head.... read more

From they moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the two running the place and they immediately made it feel warm and friendly like home!!! The rooms were perfect and clean! And the FREE continental Breakfast was excellent. Clearly made with love for the guest. They definitely do it right here and have a great vibe. And they allow dogs!!! My two border collies were in heaven! Thank you very much and I will spread the word and be returning. -mike read more

Room smelled like sewer and mold had to sleep with the windows open at 30 degree temperatures at night. The room I rented smelled like a sewer. I got in late on check in day after the office had closed. As I approached my room I could smell a sewer smell. I opened the front door to my room and was hit with a wave of sewer smell. I attempted to contact the staff by phone call and text message but no answer. I complained to the staff on my 3rd day (my second day was fully booked and was out of cell phone range) and asked for a different room and was told the manager would call or show up at my room. No one showed up and I didn't receive a call. The smell was so bad coming from the bathroom we had to keep the bathroom door shut and sleep with the hotel windows open during 30 degree temperatures at night because the smell made everyone in my party sick. Headaches and stuffy noses from the sewer and mold smell. The staff would not call me back and did not even offer us another room. I requested to be moved to another room and the staff said a manager would call me back. I asked when and the front desk said they did not know the time frame of a call back. I never heard from them. The smell was so bad I had to go out and buy candles from Rite Aid down the street. I told the front desk this and nothing was done or resolved. I never heard from anyone. Do yourself a favor spend your hard earned money somewhere else. A simple phone call and move us to another room could have resolved this. But they chose to not respond. read more

I stayed here for two nights on my recent ski trip. The room was a cool, fairly spacious cabin that looked like it had been recently redone. It had a new TV that allowed access to many platforms such as Hulu, netflix, YouTube, etc. My favorite part about staying here was the lobby where breakfast was served. It's the coziest interior that looks like you're in a lot cabin. There's comfy seating and the buffet style breakfast was pretty good with hash browns, eggs, sausage, french toast, yogurt/granola, peach, cereal, tea, coffee, milk, and orange juice. Everything you'd want for a breakfast. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay and would love to stay here the next time I ski in mammoth. read more

BEWARE Fraudulent Charges! I booked a stay through Hotels.com. The contract stated $0 due today, with the entire cost of the stay due at check in. Five minutes later, the hotel charged me $375. I called Hotels.com, who verified that the room I booked did not require a deposit. They contacted the hotel and they refused to honor the terms! I couldn't believe it. I have screenshots and everything. It's not ok to tell someone you won't charge a deposit and then charge $375! I have written the hotel with no response yet. Hopefully they'll take this opportunity to make it right and honor the deal they made available to me. I'm really bummed - this looked like a cute place to stay. But unless they make this right I just don't trust that I won't be overcharged. read more

My boyfriend and I love to stay here! We're on our 4th or 5th stay with the Cinnamon Bear Inn now. Sure the amenities may be a little basic but they make it up in customer service. Jeremy and Lannie are great hosts. They are very accommodating and provide a wonderful breakfast. Anything you need they are there to try and accommodate you for a better stay. Stephanie is also awesome. She has a great attitude whenever we were staying in the lobby/living room area. Prices are reasonable and in combination with fantastic staff, we keep coming back pre- and post-COVID . PS. they have 3 adorable little dogs. I mean come on it's like home away from home. read more

Place is relatively clean and staff is super friendly and helpful. However there is no AC. You have a fan you can plug in but the rooms get HOT. The shower doesn't drain that great and they just paint over water damage. Overall for cleanliness and location, it's a decent place, just no AC, so be warned for summer months read more

Such a steal! Adorable, cozy rooms, nice outdoor jacuzzi and breakfast. Close to ski resort and all with a reasonable price.

I've stayed at multiple location within Mammoth over the years and this place by far is the warmest and friendliest place I've stayed. The stay makes you feel welcomed and at home. The room are nice as well, you can't beat this place for the price. Definitely will be my go to for my future trips. read more

The whole experience was incredible! Great service, good food, nice hot tub, comfortable bed with really cute rooms. Katie who works the front desk gave us fun advice on a near by scenic hike. read more

We came to the place because of high review. Came by end of April and the snow was still piling high. The heater came in form of fire place which was awesome. Unfortunately the good stops pretty much there. The beds are squeaky, the walls are paper thin, the bathtub drains water way slower than the shower so you'd always be showering in a pool of dirty water, faucet knob was stiff to turn to set temperature, breakfast was mediocre at best, and we tried to reach out to the inn keeper and got no response. We always wanted to support small businesses and we understand the times are tough, but we have to have SOMETHING to support with! read more

I'd give this a thee out of five since the building is quite dated , there were a few minor maintenance issues, and one of the beds was quite uncomfortable with a really squishy mattress. The staff, however, (particularly Lani), pulled it all the way to a five. Lani was both friendly and really helpful with advice about the area and the mountain. The advice really made our visit much better. We all enjoyed the breakfast. On one of the days they had a grab and go burrito option for those heading out early to the slopes. We also enjoyed the hot tub. One thing to note about the hot tub is that it is in a courtyard in the middle of the rooms. When guests blew through hot tub hours (staff were gone by then) it was pretty loud and hard to sleep. read more

We have stayed at this cozy cabin hotel multiple times and it never disappoints. This is our go to every time in Mammoth. The staff always is incredibly friendly and accommodating plus the food and coffee were delicious. What I absolutely love is that they are dog friendly!! Make sure when you check in to mention them. The room is equipped with an old school fireplace that turns on by the thermostat which adds a nice touch to the cozy cabin feel this place already gives. As well as a microwave, refrigerator & freezer, cable TV, and WiFi. And as people who love to snowboard, we really appreciated the storage space they provided for our gear just outside the front door of our room. The lifts are a quick drive with plenty of food and shops within walking distance. Overall, I always recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay in Mammoth. Thank you Lannie (hope I got that right) and the rest of the staff! From- Matt, Mackenzie and Kona (sausage with legs) read more

The rooms are clean and the people working there are really nice and helpful. What's really impressive is the quant living room and breakfast that's next level compared to any other place that includes breakfast with the room! The rooms also use a stove style heating unit which is super cool and you're located close to many amenities from wine, brewery, grocery, massage, and laundromat! read more

Arrived here after a drive from Death Valley. The place is a cute wooden building with a nice forest/mountain style. The reception and common area is very cost and the lady working there offered us red and white vine in several different types of grapes. Really cozy. The rooms are very nice and clean, comfortable beds and we slept really good. The included breakfast is homemade and very tasty. The location of the place is also nice. It's not out on the main road, but behind the row of buildings next to it. A real gem! read more

This was a really nice place to stay in Mammoth. It has a cozy bed and breakfast vibe. It's in the center of town on a side street. Our room was nice and homey. Everything was good. The free full breakfast was a plus. The Jacuzzi was my favorite. It was nice, clean, and the perfect temperature. We met some cool people in there. I would definitely stay here again. read more

Stayed for President's day weekend. Feb 15th-18th 2019. Not a good experience in "economy room" 10B. I should have listened to previous reviews. I paid $575 for 3 nights and the shower was ice cold every night, room was the size of a jail cell, and the bed was hard as a rock. I let the staff know about the water issue each night and they claim it was fixed. I had to drive 2.2 miles to a friend's condo to take a shower every night. I know how to use a shower, H is Hot, C is cold. Both put out ice cold water. First night around 12am i was forced to take an ice cold shower. It was pure torture. No microwave, no refrigerator. Remember the high price I paid. The room is so small that when you open the bathroom door, it hits the side of bed. When you open the folding desk, it is almost touching the foot of the bed and you can't put a chair in front to actually use the desk. The walls are very thin and all you hear at night is foot steps, tapping, clicking sounds, the shower or toilet next door. The heater makes clicking sounds at night. Very annoying. All that noise and the hard bed made for an uncomfortable night. Im mostly a side sleeper and all the pressure was on my hips and shoulders. Breakfast was ok and they change the menu daily. Portion was just right and coffee and OJ is offered. Pancakes the first day were slightly undercooked and tasted a little like raw flour but edible... second day omlette and potatoes were alright. I've been coming to Mammoth for 6 years in a row and have never stayed at a place that was so bad. On the third night I called the owner and at first he offered another room or a free stay voucher. The bed was hard as a rock so I declined. At the end I was offered a $60 credit back to my debit card which I accepted because I was tired of complaining and arguing. I should have get at least half of my money back. For $575 I expect hot showers and a comfortable bed. Why is there a desk if you cant actually use it? Overpriced for what you get. Room is worth $50 a night at most. In fact, an actual jail cell is probably more comfortable. At least they have hot water lol. Never going back again! I'd rather stay at the Rodeway which is also old and run down but at least they have hot showers and comfortable beds. I have honestly snow camped in 20 degree temps inside a tent and been more comfortable. While camping, i can at least boil water to shower. The yelp app isn't showing me the photos and videos i took of the room and shower but im telling the truth 100%. A friend even came to witness the cold water himself. He didnt believe me but when he saw how cold the water was, he was pissed! Do not stay here. Go camping in Bishop for $14 a night or stay at the roadway inn. Update: $60 was refunded as promised on 2/20/2019. I still will not ever go back. *Cold showers/Noisey/Hard Bed/cramped room* Be Warned! read more

Cinnamon Bear Inn - Sorry note. Owner checks sink when the problem was the shower. I know how to use a shower. Hot left, cold right for the shower. - Hotels Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

2 visits in a month I've been told the jacuzzi is working. 2 visits in a month, show to a broke down jacuzzi. Told they won't refund or discount my room since it's less than 72 hours. Very disappointed with the service I've received in a place I used to recommend. read more

I haven't even stayed here yet but I felt so compelled to right a review. My buddy and I came up for two days to ski, and unfortunately he lost his car key in the snow. A lot of misfortunes throughout the day and we ended up heading home early. I canceled my hotel stay at 4pm (knowing that I more than likely was not going to get a refund.) And the customer service was so kind and supportive. They sought out immediate support to try and sell the room to someone else and provide a voucher for a future time. Even before all the cancelation occurred, they were on top of it with hotel communication and the details of our stay. I am very much looking forward to my next trip to mammoth staying at Cinnamon Bear Inn, and I hope this encourages you to book a visit with them :) Thank you for the helpful customer support! read more

I'd booked two nights here (9/10-9/11/2021), I ended up with vehicle issues as well as coming down with a fever, I left two voice messages which were never returned kindly asking for a refund. Today (9/15/2021) I made a third call and finally was able to get through to a live person, I believe her name was Lonnie. I explained that even though my vehicle issues were resolved, since I was feeling sick and there was no place in Bridgeport, CA to get a COVID test on a Saturday, I would like a refund. I was offered a potential voucher ("I'll need to check with Expedia, I'm not sure how it works") good for two non-holiday weeknights only. I told Lonnie in a calm voice I wasn't interested in a voucher and that I would be giving them a one star review. She replied, "Excuse me, Mister, you're not going to threaten me, goodbye and have a nice day!" I told her I wasn't a threat, nor was I making a threat, and that writing a negative review is not a threat when the reason for the bad review is legit, but she hung up on me. A completely unresponsive business with terrible customer service, uncharacteristically late check in time (4:30PM), early check out time (10AM), and an easily offended staffer who hung up on a customer who paid $260 who thought he might have COVID. I got a test when I returned home and it was negative but I wasn't taking any chances and Lonnie certainly wasn't giving me any. I feel they took advantage of me and were unsympathetic to my situation. I'm glad I didn't, and will never, patronize this establishment nor will any of my friends who regularly visit Mammoth throughout the year. read more

Loved this place! Would definitely come here again on my next mammoth trip and would highly recommend to others. The location is great, close to the free bus stop across the street (in front of the post office) to take you to the mountains, room was clean, bed was perfect combination of soft and firm, and although I didn't get a chance to enjoy their breakfast, they had omelettes and pancakes and sausages. The dining area was also very cozy and inviting. Can't wait to go back! read more

Staff is fantastic, they went above & beyond to help with anything they could! Location is great, right off the mountain, and walkable to a lot of restaurants. Room had a cool fireplace, breakfast in the morning including omelettes/eggs cooked to order. I would stay here again, largely due to the staff & location. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely fell in love with The Cinnamon Bear Inn. It is beyond charming. The room was modern and a great size. We had two closets not to mention an outdoor closet to store our boards. The made to order hot breakfast was an amazing way to start the day. The wine and cheese was a great way to end the day after riding so many hours. The location was perfect. Walking distance to many yummy restaurants, a grocery store and only one mile to the Village. We parked our car the 3 days and walked or used the tram. So easy. The best part was the large and very hot, hot tub. It soothed our aching muscles at night. Cannot wait to return! read more

Cinnamon Bear Inn is a Fantastic B&B! Our family of 5 stayed and loved everything from the room, to the service, to the location. Location is walkable to nearby stores/restaurants, and you're just minutes from some of the best ski lodges in town. Staff was friendly and the ownership clearly takes pride in delivering a great experience. Highly recommend! read more

First time staying here with some buddies. I would let go of the old reviews as there seems to be new ownership and it appears they are taking it seriously. They had breakfast sandwiches and coffee ready early, thankfully. Cool little jacuzzi going while the snow was coming down. Jeremy the manager even dug out my car from snow which was epic, although I don't think that comes with the room rate, but I was stoked. If you've not been here, give it a try. It's location was also a plus. I didn't have to drive anywhere. Food, boarding gear, bakery, pizza, bus stop to the lifts, cannabis store, gas station, liquor store, literally all within walking distance, one, two blocks max. I would think it would have been a bit more pricey for the location and comfort feel but I'll take it. Having stayed at the village lodge in the past I'll likely switch to this spot in the future. read more

There is no AC, which is advertised and we were expecting. What they don't tell you is that there are no screens on the windows so if you try to get some air flow you are also inviting billions of insects. So either sleep in an oven or get eaten alive. I was more comfortable in my tent the previous three nights. The shower was also terrible. It is impossible to get the water at a comfortable temperature. If you do finally dial it in, you will be met with blasts of ice cold water followed by blasts of scalding hot water. I'm not joking, it is dangerously hot. The toilet was also leaky and old, so when it refills it sounds like someone is drilling into the wall. This happens every 30 minutes or so. They were also not open for breakfast as advertised. We packed up and left and will be seeking a refund. As much as I want to like this place, there are way too many shortcomings to be overcome by aesthetics and smiles. Very disappointing. read more

Russ Harrison no longer owns The Cinnamon Bear. New owners Aaron and Dave are wonderfull. They are two young men with a lot of great ideas to bring The Cinnamon Bear into 2022. New beds,New paint New floors. It is not all happening at once but it is happening. If you are a frequent guest a returning guest or a first time guest I can guarantee you will be pleased with the upgrades. Make your reservation now. Mammoth still has a lot of great snow. Roads are clear and dry. Always check current weather and current road conditions. Hwy 395 Hwy 203 read more

If you're looking for a great bed-and-breakfast centrally located in town, look no further! The staff is amazing, the rooms are clean and you can literally walk to all the stores and restaurants within five minutes. Plus you get a free breakfast every morning!! read more

Great customer service. old inn that could definitely use a makeover but the staff are absolutely wonderful and great

Just wanted to give a shout out to Jeremy & Lannie for letting us check in late over the busy Memorial weekend. Friendly staff been coming here for the last 3 years and it never disappoint. 5 Stars for Cinnamon Bear Inn. read more

Nice and cozy-Room with a view, check in was nice and easy. Walking distance to the bus stop. The French toast breakfast was amazing. Employees are very hospitable. Only negative thing was the room we where in you can here everything, people walking upstairs, can hear full on conversations next-door. You get what you pay for. I would stay here again. read more

There's a thin line between rustic, charming and cozy and worn down and uncomfortable and Cinnamon Bear Inn crossed it one two many times for me. Disclaimer: Pretty sure I had the smallest room available at the Inn. Granted, I should have known what I was getting myself into, but the price was right so I went for it. Do not stay here if you are claustrophobic. It was room 10B. The Good: View from my window, the jacuzzi, location, free wi-fi, the delicious breakfast and the free wine. It was a rare cold day in the summer and the heat was off for the season, but the lady at the front desk called up her friend who went in and turned on the heat for us, so customer service was good too. The Bad: Tiny room, no mini-fridge, no microwave. Shower pressure was abysmal and it takes forever to warm up. The toilet was tiny and located in an uncomfortably small space. The bed frame was shaky and creaked at the slightest movement. The walls were thin. The carpet seemed like it had never been changed. The Verdict: I would NOT stay at the same room (10B). I would only come back and stay in a bigger room with more basic amenities and functional shower. Also, we had stuffed French Toast for breakfast for two days straight, and while it was amazing, I would have liked some variety. read more

We booked a 2 night stay in Mammoth using Hotwire, where you don't find out the actual accommodations until after you book. We saw the reviews were mostly positive and the price was right, so we booked on Hotwire and then were notified we'd be staying at the Cinnamon Bear Inn. We're originally from the Northeast and love the charming New England Bed & Breakfasts back home, but this place wasn't quite what I was expecting. This place was more, as my husband would say, literally just a bed and breakfast... meaning the room was extremely small with nothing more than a bed. It's definitely a very simple, no frills type of place, which is fine but the tight space made it a little tricky to get ready, especially with ski stuff. It was clean, except for a face wipe that was left in the corner floor of our shower. The bed was a double, not a queen, so it was a little small for 2 people. The mattress itself was extremely uncomfortable and neither of us were able to get a good night sleep either night. I think the quality of the mattress was our biggest gripe. Now the good points... the folks who work here get 5 stars for sure, as they were super nice. The breakfast was also very good and they did their best to accommodate requests if people had any restrictions with whatever breakfast they were serving that morning. There was also a hot tub on site...we didn't go in, but we saw others who seemed to be enjoying it. The location is also great. It's close to restaurants/bars, the ski area, and Rick's rental shop right down the street is the best place to rent gear. Overall, it was a fine experience in that we got a good price, the breakfast was good, the staff was great, and we loved the location. I have to stick to 3 stars due to the super uncomfortable bed, but if I find out they upgrade their mattresses I may consider staying again. read more

Not bad for the price, rooms are very dated and stuffy but served it's purpose, be advised if you go during summer months NO air conditioning read more

Total mom and pop place, this was exactly what we were looking for! If you're looking for fancy schmancy this is not the place for you, if you're looking for cute and kitschy you've found a winner. We originally booked at another hotel but after reading the reviews about the nightmare issues involving their renovation we cancelled and booked Cinnamon Bear. Once we got here and saw our place verses the other hotel, we were 100% certain we made the right decision. There is a wonderful complimentary breakfast in the morning with one hot offering a day. We had a spinach tomato omelet with Romano cheese one day and a strawberry cream cheese stuffed French toast the other, both were made to order, hot and delicious. The location was perfect, close to the mountain and shops but not on the main road. I recommend getting the suite, it's a little more than a regular room but its well well worth it. The suites are located away from the main rooms and it comes with a separate living room that has a fireplace. The bed is super comfy and the shower had a good strong flow to it. read more

This place has a casual, quaint, home-spun sincerity to it that I really love. A group of friends and I just spent the weekend in a cozy room there, enjoying the skiing, the snow and the smile of a charming proprietor who knows how to make you feel at home. Every morning, Gabi will warm your tummy with the likes of an omelet, pancakes or French toast. And every evening, you'll close out a strenuous day on the slopes with crackers, cheese, a fireplace and the best boxed-wine I've had. The coffee, it must be said, borders on undrinkable; and at a bed and BREAKFAST, that's no small blunder. But in addition to its down-home feel, the Cinnamon Bear Inn also has an outdoor hot tub. If the coffee won't help start your day with the warmth you need, Gabi's graciousness and a simmering jacuzzi will more than make up for it. read more

Cinnamon Bear Inn exceeded all of our expectations. Had a long weekend planned elsewhere with a larger group, but came into town a day early and needed an affordable place to stay. We opted for the king luxury room, which was clean, spacious, and incredibly charming. Can't beat the location - walking distance from John's pizza and Schats Bakery, both an essential stop when visiting Mammoth. The owners were very communicative and provided a delicious breakfast (sausage egg cheese spinach breakfast sandwich with fruit and a granola bar!). Contactless check in and check out was seamless. Will definitely be returning for a longer stay next time! read more

Overpriced for cold rooms with heaters that don't work, pet stained carpets, water stained ceiling from where the upstairs bathroom previously flooded,paper thin walls that you can here every footstep of your upstairs neighbor, you can even hear them when they pee. The place is an absolute dump and not worth the prices they are charging. read more

After reading positive reviews (on another website), I booked a 2-bed room a week in advance, requesting upstairs. After calling in the reservations, I received a confirmation specifying "upstairs". We arrived to pick up the key that was left for us by the office door, since they were away at that moment. Turns out, they had given us a room on the first floor, not what we requested. The heater was turned on for us to arrive to a warm room. I did not think it would be that bad to stay on the first floor but I was wrong. Being so close to the walkway leading upstairs, we heard all foot traffic. Footsteps can also be heard in the room above us. It kind of got annoying after some time but at least people weren't up all night. My friend pulled down her covers to her bed and discovered a few strands of hair. There were strands in my bed as well. We immediately called for new sheets, which were brought to our room. I think her name was Robin, who brought the sheets to us. She took a look at the hair and said they were the maid's, who apparently sheds. She apologized for it. The heater turned off so my friend was able to turn it on again. That wasn't the case the next time we needed it on. For some reason we were not able to turn it on again. We did not bother since it wasn't that cold in the room. It stayed about 60 degrees. Breakfast for the next two mornings were pretty good. First morning it was stuffed french toast, the second, it was stuffed pancakes. Orange juice and coffee were also provided. Happy hour was okay. If you get there for the later part, towards 6, you get the scraps and leftover pieces of cheese and crackers (Wheat Thins and Club crackers). You have a choice of red or white wine. The white was pretty good for somebody like me who doesn't drink wine that often. Overall, the staff was friendly. It's a decent place to stay for a decent price, just avoid room #1 if you're a light sleeper. read more
