The room was clean, service was great & bar was fun. Perfect location to walk across and catch the gondola.

Cozy and convenient. After camping a few days, we landed here to rest and shower. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a very convenient lodge for local dining and bars. Everything within walking distance. There's even a very popular bar at the lodge, in the cellar....yes the cellar! A true must stay and experience if your in mammoth! read more

Alpenhof Lodge - Awesome place for the family. Local and convenience - Ski Resorts Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

This is a rustic lodge that is right next to the village. The location is amazing. We will be coming back.

Last minute booking but was not disappointed, actually pleasantly surprised. First off the location is amazing! The rooms were clean, very happy with the amenities offered. Little surprises at the front desk every morning. Stickers, ice scraper, snacks, friendly staff. 2 restaurants/bars connected, you don't even have to go outside. Hot tub and sauna downstairs. Pool was closed because of the temps, but there is a pool. Tons of parking. Highly recommend for the price you cannot do any better. I will definitely be staying here again. read more

We frequent the Alenhof several times a year as we fish the upper Owens River. We do miss the complementory breakfast that was pre covid but we just love this establishment. Today we were half way home from our trip and realized I'd forgotten my favorite hat and we called and spoke to a very polite gentleman. He without hesitation got our information retrieved my hat and is sending to our home today. Of course we're paying for postage but we are very thankful for their interest in finding my hat. I know this seems like a minor thing but it's a hat from military service during my youth. "Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club". Thank you Alpenhof and see you in a couple of months.

There's nothing quite like this hotel. Nothing is better than it for the price. It is comfortable, clean, and a very short walk to the village. While it is great, it is also very basic and if you want a luxury place to stay this is not the hotel for you. read more

These guys are great!!! The service was very, very customer-focused. My stay was for 4 nights and I had asked if there was a way for me to get hot water in the room for my nighttime tea that I like. I technically could have used the coffee maker in the room to heat up the water but the gentleman at the Front Desk gave me an electric kettle to heat up my water and that was exactly what I wanted!! I also enjoyed using the dry sauna and taking a quick dip in the hot tub after a day of exploring Mammoth Lakes and heading off to dinner! read more

The Alpenhof is a nice place, it has everything you need. The rooms are large, clean and quiet. The location is fantastic, walking distance to many restaurants and shopping. The people at the desk are helpful, especially Val, and friendly. Will definitely stay here again. read more

Our room was nice and the facilities are good. There is a pool though we didn't use it. If you go in summer, expect the room to be pretty warm. Our fireplace was giving off heat, despite being turned off and the front desk wasn't helpful about it. read more

Ok, location, room is fine. No elevators or ADA access. Don't stay if you can't maneuver stairs.

The Alpenhof is my favorite spot in Mammoth. It's not one of the fancy new places but it has more character plus the best bar (the Tower Cellar) anywhere. It has a surprising menu and everything you would want to drink. Since it is right across the street from the village you'll have easy access to all those stores and restaurants. read more

Cleanliness: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Comfort: 2/5 Noise: 4/5 Overall: A relatively clean hotel but no AC in a very small room. The extended review... Cleanliness: 4/5 - The linens and towels were clean. Service: 5/5 - Martha was super friendly and helpful. I called for an early check in and she was very helpful in accommodating. Comfort: 2/5 - The beds were comfortable. One issue was that the room and bathroom were a bit tight. And the most important part was there was no air conditioning...it wasn't listed on the amenities but in this day and age I would expect I would need to check...guess not. Noise: 4/5 - Thankfully not that noisy. read more

My experience with Alpenhof Lodge left much to be desired due to their unclear policies and lackluster customer service. While the lodge might look charming at first glance, prospective guests should be wary of its hidden "gotchas." One of the most frustrating aspects of my experience was discovering the lodge's strict no-pet policy--but only after digging through the fine print in the terms and conditions, and being notified in an email AFTER I had purchased a reservation. Nowhere on the front page or side pages is this important information clearly disclosed. For pet owners, this omission feels deceptive and like a deliberate attempt to bury an inconvenient policy. When I reached out to cancel my booking after discovering the no-pet policy, the host refused to refund the $25 cancellation fee. Considering the lack of upfront clarity about their policy, this felt completely unreasonable. Rather than attempting to resolve the issue amicably or acknowledging their failure to disclose key details, the host doubled down on enforcing their cancellation policy, making the entire situation feel rigid and dismissive. While Alpenhof Lodge might be appealing on the surface, their unclear policies and unwillingness to accommodate reasonable concerns make them hard to recommend. Transparency and flexibility are key in hospitality, and Alpenhof Lodge fails on both fronts. If you're a pet owner or someone who values clear communication, look elsewhere. Wouldn't recommend unless you're traveling pet-free and willing to deal with a "my-way-or-the-highway" approach to customer service. read more

I've stayed here before and knew the rooms were older and there was no elevator. The young bearded gentleman that checked us in was rude and lazy. We were the only guests there and he pointed out in a snarky tone the great favor he was doing us by checking us in a bit early. When I asked later about location of the ice machine, he was rude and disrespectful reminding me it was on the "white information sheet" he gave us and was totally put out when I inquired about some information on our bill. At that point I told him to just forget it and moved on. He didn't save his horrible customer service skills just for us, he was arguing with two guests one afternoon as we were leaving. The other employees at the front desk were very helpful and nice. Also, know that you will have to make your own bed and ask for more coffee, etc. They have downsized the maid service to fresh towels and emptied trash. The 2nd floor hallway has dips in it so be careful when walking! It needs repaired badly. The positives, location, beds are comfortable and Cellar bar and their staff are the best part of this hotel. read more

Great hotel for the price!!! I've stayed in most of the budget hotels here in Mammoth, and this one is the top of my list. The pros: The room is close to the village - walking distance! The prices are reasonable The rooms are clean They provide masks They provide complimentary bottled water They provide a fan Affordable Free parking Free wifi Nearby restaurant and bar The cons: The rooms are older, but remodeled. They really need to replace the carpet . There's no air conditioning (most budget hotels in Mammoth don't have AC) It's very close to the village with may be negative to some. On nights the village has live music, it could go on until 10pm and you may hear it in your room if you sleep early. The wifi is slow The parking lot was packed every day we stayed, but we found a spot. The beds are very firm with nay be a pro or con to some. Not sure if there's an elevator. Guests who are handicap and have a hard time with stairs should call to see if your needs can be met. There's about 10 starts it's to the front desk to check in, hotel is 2 stories. Would I stay here again? Yes. read more

This is a very cute and comfortable hotel lodge in an amazingly beautiful tourist trap of an area. The inside and outside has a Germanic or Swedish Lodge feel and there is always someone at the front desk willing to serve you. Due to the pandemic, maid services are only available upon request, however, our trip will be short so it's fine. I appreciate that the bathroom lights are motion sensores so you aren't going to be fumbling around in the middle of the night looking for a light switch. The carpet throughout is a bit dated and old but it's clean and the beds are comfortable. read more

Stayed here with a friend last month to explore the area and we ended up choosing the Alpenhof Lodge since it's so close to everything! Overall it's a great hotel. We loved the architecture - when we stayed here, masks were required indoors. The check in and check out process was super easy and quick, however they only give you a small bag of coffee for the coffee machine in your room. Not a bad thing, but if you need more you need to go to the front desk and ask for it. The rooms are pretty good. The bed wasn't super comfortable because we prefer softer mattresses and this one was very firm. The sheets are thin and a comforter wasn't really included. It was more like a thick sheet placed over the bed sheets. They also have free WiFi but my friend and I noticed it's pretty slow. I think that might be something to consider if you find yourself needing WiFi during your visit here. Overall great hotel/lodge. We would come here again for sure but we might try another area in Mammoth just to check things out. read more

Horrible experience. The coffee machine is in the restroom, literally by the toilet bowl...the room was located in the attic, no natural light, no ventilation. Holway smells like trash. Everything outdated and old. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. read more

Man oh man! Once you walked in the lodge it's toasty. They sure do make sure to keep their guests warm. Honestly it's a little too warm. We had to open up our window in the room even at times when the heater was at low. Do you know they actually give you real keys not the card to scan or swipe...pretty old school and I love it. I could actually attach the key to my very own set of keys and it's safe. I love how I could watch TV basically on any channel. Most hotels only have a generic channel of the hotel rundown and ads and if you want to watch something cool it seems like you have to pay. The fridge in the room is a little tiny not much room to put anything perhaps it's the standard...I ono. The beds seem small but they worked for the four of us. Also, seemed pretty firm and comfy. Blankets were warm but didn't quite need it since the room was warm. Four stars for their service because my autistic son kept locking the bathroom door and we couldn't get in to do business so we had to call to get somebody to unlock it. My son also knocked down a glass bottle and had to get house cleaning to vacuum up the broken glass. When I called for help their response was pretty immediate. Lastly, make sure you wear your mask because they kept reinforcing it. read more

Oldie but goodie. I love coming here. You definitely get the feeling of being in Europe. Service is good and the ambiance is, what we go there for. You will like it. read more

Great LOCATION! It's located in the village, across from the gondola. You can walk everywhere or take a shuttle. Seriously, this location is fabulous! Impeccable CUSTOMER SERVICE! Martha and the staff are very helpful! Rooms are CLEAN and SPACIOUS! It's like time travel to 1985. But who cares? It's comfortable and clean! I never expected to come back, but when it snowed out of the blue, I immediately looked at Alpenhof and was able to get a 20% discount for returning within 30 days. Hooray! The only things I didn't like is there is no microwave in the room. You have to go to the main building for it. The shower in the king room was very very short. (But the shower in the queen room was AMAZING - like a spa!!!) I wish the king had a fireplace and I wish the queen had a balcony! The king room was SUPER PRIVATE and you could open the curtains wide, but not with the queen (ground level parking lot view). I feel like I found my mammoth home-away-from home! The price is reasonable too, given the location! It was shoulder season but $119 was great! It went down to $99 at times. Excellent value! I'll be back! read more

Prime location! I went during the spring season before Mammoth closed Eagle and Canyon lifts and was very happy with my stay at Alpenhof. The price came out to about $200/night, which was way more reasonable than Airbnb/VRBO during the same time period. You can't beat the less than 5 min walk to the Village Gondola each morning. Top Highlights - Location: Across the street from Village Gondola - Staff: Extremely helpful and friendly. Very accommodating with all of our requests through out stay. - Petras and Clocktower: Best food options in the Village and only a few steps away - Heater: Strong and warms room up quickly Overall, Alpenhof was a very no frills lodging experience. Heater was loud and bed was not too comfortable, but the room was cozy and I would not hesitate to book again in the future. read more

Besides the location and big beds, there's not much that would make me want to come back. The room is in desperate need of an update, it smelled musty, and the bathroom is so small you have to squeeze to the side to close the door. The corner of the bed was so close to the bathroom that we kept on bumping into it. There's no maid service and no breakfast. The small garbage pails filled up after 2 days and you need to throw it out yourself. The pool was closed. I booked mammoth last minute so there weren't many choices, but seriously the perks of hotels/motel over Airbnb is that you get maid service and oftentimes breakfast included. This one is like an old rundown motel with no additional amenities. Definitely trying somewhere else next time read more

This charming European style lodge is spotless, spacious, well designed, and is located just steps from a lot of fun restaurants, the Mammoth gondola, and a small general store, yet is still nestled within the trees. Aside from the standard amenities, our room is very generous in size, has a firm but comfortable mattress, has convenient shelves and a small fridge, extra spots to hang jackets, and a pretty view of the snow and trees. I am normally a light sleeper but was not disturbed. The property is a tiny bit dated but that adds to its charm and the housekeeping staff keeps everything looking SPOTLESS. I also appreciated that it feels just like when we stayed in Switzerland. This is a great value for your money. 5 star for me! We'll definitely stay here again. read more

We have stayed numerous times. It's a very quaint lodge where you feel at home. They have always been extremely friendly and helpful in anything we've needed. The connected restaurants are definitely a bonus when not wanting to venture out during a storm. The location can't be best, as it's right across the street from the gondola. There are many different room configurations that can accommodate a couple, to a small family. Looking forward to our trip back! read more

I've skied Mammoth in the 70s and 80s but haven't had the chance to get back to this amazing mountain until this past week. When searching around for a place to stay, I came across Alpenhof and immediately smiled because I used to say here back in the 70s! I had a wonderful stay while here this past week. The staff were very helpful and I had dinner one night at the restaurant right in the hotel. It's a very popular place even for people not staying at the hotel. My room was everything I needed for a quick solo trip and the location is very convenient right across the street from the Canyon gondola. There's a reason why Alpenhof is still in business after all the years and it goes right to great customer service and cozy rooms! read more

At least the prices are cheap and the location is good. The rooms are in need of a major upgrade. Bathroom was terrible in my unit. Water pressure very weak. Shower door looked about 50 years old and was hard to open. We stayed on the 3rd floor and it gets hot up there. You can't open the window to get air overnight. Location is good with access to the village across the street and plenty of places to eat nearby. Parking is plentiful on site. I'd only stay here for a budget accommodation. read more

The place has really nice theme. The staff was rude. The hotel was very outdated, however the bed was comfortable. There was no a/c and it was very stuffy in there. The people upstairs had heavy feet and you can here everything. read more

We had a great stay at Alpenhof Lodge! It's so close to everything and we walked to most places each day and night. It does get quite toasty in the rooms and the power did go off during our stay, but we had such a great time that it didn't matter at all. The restaurant and bar that are attached are so convenient and had great service + food and drinks. Definitely recommend if you are looking for an affordable and clean hotel that is walking distance from everything. read more

Cute spot REALLY really nice staff. Clean and great location. The only downfall is no AC, so it's definitely more of a winter spot. But you can't beat the price and location!!! read more

Great location and very friendly staff! Adorable on the outside, but the inside was outdated and dirty. We upgraded to an air conditioned room, which only had a portable a/c window unit- it was better than nothing, but it was still quite warm in the room. read more

Hot water works! Key works! Cozy room, refrigerator, pod coffee maker, cookies. This place has nice service, comfy beds, ok size tub. They bring you towels or anything you need. The restaurant Petra's that is in hotel is amazing! Order the wine marinade chicken! Lots of restaurant choices in walking distance. Ice bucket doesn't hold champaign bottle but there is no annoying dim bathroom light connected to lawnmower loud bathroom fan. There is actually a separate bright light switch so you can enjoy a steamy shower!!! read more

We stayed last year & it was great but this year we were put in VERY stuffy room on the 3rd floor that had NO air flow & no a/c! We had 2 fans (1 we found in the hallway & grabbed it) but there were no outlets near the tiny window to get air flow throughout the room. We stayed 3 nights paying over $200/night for this room & we got very little sleep due to the heat. This room was booked 7 months in advance & when we complained to the front desk, they said there was nothing they could do. The electricity kept going out on 1 side of the room periodically. The coffee pot was a 1 cup that had to be plugged into the wall in the bathroom because the cord was so short that we couldn't plug in on the dresser or frig. The remote control for the tv worked part of the time. There were 2 hard chairs for us to sit on but no table that we could eat at (there was a coffee table but no sofa for this so not sure why this would be in the room)/we weren't able to sit there & eat anything without putting in our laps or sitting in the bed to eat. Last year we paid less & got a better room & booked later than this year. VERY disappointed & do NOT plan to stay here again! read more

Rooms nice for the price, but very small. Our room was right above the main entrance so very noisy later in the evening as people coming back to the motel. Not impressed with the maid service at all. If you are staying several days all the maids will do is come in and bring clean towels and empty trash cans. Had to ask everyday for more coffee, cups, sugar and soaps. They didn't just leave these items unless you asked. read more

Martha was very pleasant at check in. Unfortunately it was downhill after that. Entering the room you get hit with a old musty smell when there is no air circulation. The motel is old and has seen better days. The curtains were worn with holes and tears. There was a left over skid mark in the toilet. There is no air conditioning and it's hot and muggy in July. On the first floor there are no windows or doors to open without compromising security. The room next door was packed with people having a party, screaming as loud as they could. By 10:00pm I called the front desk a registered my complaint. They have no security. The front desk gal tried calling the room twice, I could hear the phone ringing but the partiers couldn't. The employee then knocked on their door and spoke to them. That worked. No fan so we sweat in the bed and got no sleep. We will never return. read more

Terrible customer service!! They would not want to make a change to my reservation after being told I had to change it because they counted my daughter as an extra guest. I requested to change to 2 beds and they would not allow it and still charged me $25 for cancelling. Never booking at this place! read more

Wow this place is right at the bottom of the slopes. The staff are super nice and helpful. Room was very nice. Wish walls were able to keep sound in. Next door was a big family with kids. They're screaming right now. That's not the hotel's fault, I'm not sure why they aren't even trying to be quiet. It's only 8pm. Very clean. Heater is really good. Water pressure excellent. I'd come back for sure. read more

Can't speak highly enough of this quaint, adorable place!! Gave me European holiday vibes, and my boyfriend was obsessed with the German feel of this lodge. We arrived early (around 11am, check in was at 4pm!) and they were super accommodating and told us our room would be ready in about 10 minutes when it was done being cleaned. We had been camping the previous nights and were so grateful for a shower lol. The room was super clean, and we were stoked on a massive balcony looking out towards the village!! Every time we walked out the host would greet us and chat with us a bit, she was so sweet!! Will definitely try to stay here again when we're back in town! read more

We decided to stay in Mammoth and break up our drive from Lake Tahoe to Southern California. We have read and heard great things about this place and decided to give it a try. Everything that we read and heard about was spot on as the service and amenities were great. We arrived here on a Saturday around 3 PM in the middle of August. As we checked in they had ice cold water station and they also had some cookies for the kids as they were very hungry before dinner. If you stay mid week, they do have some specials. The photos are from rooms 206 (king with mini balcony) and 208 two twins. I highly recommend checking this place out. Be sure to make a dinner reservation at Petra's and before dinner have a beer at their bar, Clocktower Bar. read more
