Mammoth Mountain Inn, Mammoth Lakes

With the nation's top mountain bike park and access to endless backcountry outside the front door, there is no comparison to the Mammoth Mountain Inn. An exclusive location at Mammoth Mountain's Main Lodge and Adventure Center makes this the only accommodation the adventure seeker needs. The nearest hotel that comes close to this kind of access is four miles down the mountain road. An in-hotel bar and restaurant provide -- hands-down -- the best views of Mammoth Mountain. Craftsman-style condominiums and hotel rooms provide easy mountain living at reasonable prices. In less than a minute walk from the hotel to the Scenic Gondola, climbing rock and zip line, hop on mountain bike trails and board shuttles to Reds Meadow, Devils Postpile and Yosemite National Park (summer activities mentioned are typically June through September). A Resort Fee of $20 per room per night will be charged by the hotel at the front desk. The Resort Fee covers unlimited Internet usage, local and 800 phone calls, Long Distance Connect, incoming/outgoing fax service, business center computer services, DVD movie rental, in room tea and coffee, game room and fitness room access, in-resort transportation and bike storage.
