What a lovely little rustic bed and breakfast! Let's be straight, it's an older building, so if you're looking for something fancy and updated, this isn't for you, but for the money, this was a great place to crash for one night on our roadtrip down from Lake Tahoe and to explore Mammoth and the trails/lakes surrounding. The facility: We booked a King standard room which was in the A frame building in the backside. It had a cabin feel with a nice patio facing towards the forest, so a lovely place to enjoy a glass of wine or coffee. The walls are definitely thin but we had no issues sleeping as our neighbors were fairly quiet. It was clean. The bed was comfy, and the room had everything we needed. We utilized the hot tub and it was a lovely way to end the day. Breakfast: Lovely hot breakfast, which changes daily. This morning was scrambled eggs, french toast, pancakes, Sausage pattie's, and chorizo with potatoes. They had a fresh homemade salsa too that was a must! Cereal, oatmeal, and toast were also available. Again nothing fancy, but it was better than your typical hotel continental breakfast. The staff: We only interacted with 2 people at checkin and checkout but both were friendly and helpful. Checkin and checkout were quick. The location was an easy walk to places to eat, drink, caffeinate, and more. Quick drive to the slopes and the main village and old mammoth. read more

One of my favorite places to stay when I'm in town. So reasonably priced and the location can't be beat. The staff is so sweet. They are very flexible and helpful. Free breakfast every morning and a hot tub. The hot tub is very modest and a little rustic, but always hot. read more

Rooms are old. The floors creek really loud. If you're down stairs, you will need to use their complimentary ear plugs. Furniture is outdated with stains and what not. Feels like they got it from an old dusty thrift store. Cleanliness was sub par, dusty and broken blinds, dusty floor, hair in the sheets, pillows off white. The kitchen ware was dirty and had melted residue on them. The TVs had Roku so that was nice and the bed was soft. The fireplace heater was nice as well. The WiFi didn't work. If you're booking for breakfast and you can't eat pork, they do put pork in the eggs. They will not accommodate. We asked the cook for two scrambled eggs on the side and she said no, so I didn't get the pleasure of a hot breakfast. I definitely did not get what I paid for. read more

How do you put into words a place where they make you feel like family. Waking up in the morning and being able to walk into the lobby with fresh hot coffee and breakfast is like being at your grandmother's house. We picked this Inn to stay at due to our dog, we wanted a place that would be welcoming for pet owners. This place fit that bill perfectly. There are board/ski storage closets right by your room and the place is just cozy and inviting. It's on Center st and just a tad bit away from the Main St. If you walk directly across the Inn and through the shopping center, bus stop 13 will be across the street going towards the village and Main lodge. You'll be dropped off at the closer stop on the way back to the Inn. It's extremely convenient. We didn't want to shovel our truck out everyday so the bus was amazing. The first one in the morning is around 7am, runs every 20-30 min depending on the day. This Inn is perfect for those who want a pet friendly place with home made breakfast. The cinnamon roll pancakes were my absolute favorite! Thanks again to the innkeepers our stay has been wonderful! read more

lovely place with the perfect amount of space for our party of 4! we got a surprise upgrade at check in and enjoyed every bit of the inn from delicious breakfast to the hot tub read more

Headed to Mammoth for some sightseeing and wanted a place that could sleep three where the unit had 3 separate beds. The unit here at the Inn had a kids loft, 1 bedroom, and a sleeper sofa. Then, what put this in the lead was the hot, full, breakfast. The unit was clean and organized but you just have to know/expect not everything works or is hooked up. The gas fireplace in our room wasn't operable but there's portable space heaters throughout the unit and the guy at the front desk gave us another one. I don't think the switch on the bedroom did anything but you can just turn the bed stand lights on with their switches and I don't think the in wall heater worked but I didn't try it out. The breakfast spread was done well. Scrambled eggs has either bacon or maybe some kind of ham in it which was fine with me but the two other travelers I was with don't eat pork so that was out. I'd suggest they just leave that out as it would save them money and people that eat meat won't miss it but it would open up that dish for those that don't. Or, if you're going to continue to make it that way, have eggs offered both ways. They have home potatoes and, then, either French toast or pancakes. There aren't too many places in Mammoth that come with breakfast and the square footage we had came at a great rate. Don't expect a shiny new modern condo but an older style location that's pretty cozy but might have little quirks in different rooms. Great location if you want to be able to walk to a few businesses right there on the main drag for dinner. It's right behind that Schat's Bakery. We ate at the bakery for a lunch, then a pizza place and Mexican restaurant on other nights. Would stay here again should we be planning another Mammoth trip in the future. read more

We didn't even get a chance to check in. There was a fire that completely blocked the highway and triggered evacuations. When we looked there was indeed a possible alternative route, though Caltrans recommended being sure to grab supplies and a full tank of gas as there would be no services. Initially the manager was unavailable but they got word to them that we would need to call back. When we did speak, a very rude woman who simply did not wish to help referred us back to the agent we booked through. This woman also refused to offer a refund when the agent contacted them. Very disappointed and we will be sure to avoid Cinnamon Bear Inn on our trips along Highway 395. read more

Used to love this place, unfortunately it has gone down hill. Upon arriving at our place in the early evening, we came to the realization that they do not set the thermostat...at all. So it was 50 degrees when we got in the room. It took a few hours to bring the room back to the high 60's, and then sadly the heater / black pot belly stove shut off in the middle of the night. It's connected to the thermostat on the wall, which apparently had a low battery. So the pilot light went out and we had no batteries for the thermostat to trigger the heater. The only thing to do was take batteries out of the taped up tv remote (which did not work) and put them in the thermostat. Thankfully the remote batteries were ok. But then the pilot light was out and we had to locate it and light it. Thankfully we had a lighter... this is all after looking for an extra blanket or comforter - which is standard in most mammoth rentals, but not at this place. It's winter, and there is a thin duvet on the bed, nothing else. There is no fan or heater in the bathroom and we also had a patch of the ceiling missing and plastered over. Very sad, very cheap and not worth the price. The breakfast in the morning included a bowl of fruit cocktail (like the kind in plastic cups) and some bread French toast? Couldn't do it. Save your money time and heartache and go somewhere else. Also, there is a very tiny hot tub in the middle of the units....Sad. It's all so sad. Staff doesn't seem to check or care, i.e. that half used body lotions in the bathroom that came with unknown hair. Never again. read more

Good location. Room was spacious and well decorated. Breakfast was typical hotel buffet. I will definitely return.

Very nice for the price. location is very convenient. Easy to talk to staff. good breakfast. overall good experience. I like the stickers too. read more

The staff was wonderful & so was the breakfast. Room was clean and quaint. Was a wonderful place for a winter getaway.

It's very old and poorly maintained. Our door was broken and had a large gap. Luckily, it didn't storm while we were there, but that would have been a mess. Breakfast is paltry and communal. Not very sanitary to share tubs of yogurt with strangers. Have to request housekeeping. Staff was very nice and polite. Stay in the family studio and you'll wake up to the burned pancake smells and sounds from the lobby breakfast below. read more

Adorable inn with great service and views. Cozy interior and breakfast included, will definitely staying here again :)

Great staff, easy check in! Great location. Rooms were very clean. The breakfast was very delicious had a great time

The wifi did not work in our room and the earliest they would be able to try to address it was the next day. They didn't fix it the next day and when we asked if we could speak to a manager and we weren't able to talk to him/her on the phone. read more

Stayed 2 nights. Website showed the updated rooms but we were placed in the original building. Room was sub-standard. The bathroom had dry rot. The cold water knob in the shower did not work. The bed was terribly soft (old mattress?). The bed cover was dirty. Do not book unless they can guarantee the rooms they advertise visually. read more

Our family of 4 booked a few nights here for our recent ski trip. We were checked into Room 19. The room smelled absolutely horrible. As soon as you enter you are met with a disgusting sewer smell + over powering synthetic fragranced glade plug in smell to cover it up. I went to the front desk to ask about the smell and change rooms and they said they had nothing available. They advised that I open the windows. Which we did and it didn't help. We all have stuffy noses and congestion from it. Beware, this room is not suitable for 4, as advertised. The pullout couch is completely un-inhabitable. It doesn't have a mattress, just a worn out, ancient memory foam topper. We had to improvise by putting one child on the floor. The furnace only has one setting, so you are either overheating or cold. Thanks goodness it was a warmer spring temp. We made it work for our short trip but won't be back. read more

This place would be a 5-star rating if you couldn't hear every footstep and conversation that happened outside your room. After the first evening, I understood why there were earplugs in the room. They could also do a better job clearing the snow from important walkways. As careful as I was, I fell down the last few stairs, I saw plenty of people slip on the ice sheet of a walkway and two people fall. BUT.... If you put yourself in the mindset that you're going to have some clueless noisy neighbors and be really careful of the ice - this place is good. The Inn provides breakfast, which is a rarity based on my searches. The parking is appropriate- plenty of spots that are accessible even with snow. If you use the transit system (which I have grown to absolutely LOVE in the winter), there are bus stops less than a 5 minute walk away. Yes, it's an old property. The rooms are a bit dated and the decks and stairways show the wear that a real winter has on a place. Every staff member I've come into contact with during my 4-night stay has been great. I would probably stay here again. read more

Cinnamon Bear Inn - Ice sheet from snow melt and freeze after not being shoveled after the storm - Hotels Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

Cleanliness was acceptable. Room was small. Clean bed sheet, but not high quality and comfortable bed. Good breakfast.

Traveling on a Thursday after Veteran's Day 2020 certainly had it's perks as we got a text before noon that our room was ready as it was unoccupied in the last 24 hours. Ice and snow were already blanketing the street and parking area so navigating the short stretch to our room was tricky. Checking in was contactless and an envelope was left outside the inn's closed lobby with information and room key. Room was toasty upon arrival and we had to turn down the thermostat to it's lowest setting after a while. Staff suggested to open a window and it will cool down real fast. Also cracking a window open can be a fridge subsitute to chill drinks and whatever fits in the window shelf. Room and furnishings were dated as what we've seen in posted pics, the bed was comfortable enough and the closets were spacious. Staff were prompt with answering questions and request via text so that was certainly a plus. Having ordered our breakfast for tomorrow certainly requires an update and a pic for this review. read more

The hotel is an older building, ever since we stepped foot inside, there was an odor in the lobby/breakfast area. We checked in and a key to our room was given. We went into the room and the rug had a large stain in the middle. Once we got back to the room and we were getting ready for bed, we noticed an excessive amount of hair on the sheets. Upon further inspection we noticed stains and dirt on the sheets and comforters, and our socks were completely black after a few minutes of walking in the room. We called the after hours line to let them know and someone came in to change our sheets, it took them 3 attempts to find clean sheets to put on the bed. To make matters worse, the walls were very thin so we could hear everything from upstairs, and we had trouble sleeping. For the inconvenience they offered a bottle of wine, however we never received it. We did not have a good experience, and for the amount we paid, we should've gotten better conditions, we will not be returning. read more

Here's a story about my stay at Cinnamon Bear Inn, and it's a decent one, but some downfalls happened to make it a 3 star rating, and I'll jump into it. I arrive at about noon to Mammoth Lakes, do some work I needed to do, and hoped to check in a little before 3. First time I went in I asked if I could check in, got a hard no. Came back an hour and a half ish and asked again, at first got a no, then the guy went outside to check, came back in and said okay fine. I stayed in room 9A. So this review is a headsup for people who book on Hotel Tonight, cause that's what I did, and this is the room I got. This room should be ONLY FOR ONE PERSON. I can't imagine 2 people being in this room because it is TIGHT. Old furniture basically falling apart, a chair, and a bed that was not comfy for me, I tossed and turned all night. This place is OLD. Not sure how old but you can see that it is on the verge of falling apart. The boards creek, the room is dated, and the walls are so thin you can hear people breathing in the next room. On the other hand, the shower heat worked and had a nice shower, the breakfast in the morning was good with nice staff and a roaring fireplace, and it is centrally located to great things like walking distance to an awesome bar and restaurants. So those were the pros. This was the best economical value I found for Thursday-Friday at 100 bucks for the night. Compared to other things at Mammoth, during a Film Festival, it was a decent pricing. 3 stars out the door, decent. read more

Great salsa, fine quesadillas along with other delectables at breakfast. Hot drinks whenever the office is open. Unlike the Jacuzzi, not so hot when open. Thank goodness one could retreat to hot shower to makeup for Jacuzzi chill. In Industrial part of town. Even so, could be appealing with vines, bushes and trees. Add level1 electric vehicle charging / get grants and funding from the state and feds to put in level2 charging to increase revenue & entice return inspite of the need to make use of the offered earplugs. read more

This place was so cute and charming in every cozy way . Very clean room , wonderful staff and excellent breakfast. Usually when they say breakfast it's not something appetizing, but this place didn't disappoint. read more

We had a wonderful stay with our dogs!! We loved the cabin with our own private deck!! We would definitely stay again!!

Excellent location, walking distance to restaurants, bars, fishing outfitters, ski/snowboard outfitters & even a local dispensary! Cozy beds & the included breakfast is hardy. Owners/staff are sensational. Prices are best bang for your buck in all of Mammoth Lakes. I'll stay nowhere else when visiting the Mammoth area. read more

Cinnamon Bear Inn - Bear tracks - Hotels Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

We came in from out of town to this cozy little bed and breakfast. Super cute rooms included a microwave and mini fridge. Hot tub was out of order at the time which I wanted to relax in, and there are no AC in the rooms. They provide a portable fan in the room but it's rather loud to have on while you watch tv. The breakfast wasn't appetizing but they did provide coffee in the lobby. read more

Guest service was no good, my wife got bad attitude from lady "helping ". The cabins are little, outdated, floors crack and are loud every step you take. They didn't even plow the snow that good, they especially did a poor job cleaning a pathway for us to walk to our cabin. Overall experience sucked. read more

My husband, dog and I booked this Inn for a trip to Mammoth Lakes. The person at check in was lovely (in fact, everyone we dealt with was lovely). Our first room, the one I booked was clean and neat, a bit small but you get what you pay for :). I slept very well but my husband did not. There was road construction at night (not the hotel's fault). My husband also complained of hearing people going in and out of the room next door where the spa towels were stored in the morning. We spoke to the front desk and they upgraded us to a lovely, premium suite at no additional cost and I thank them for that. I would stay here again and would recommend it knowing that it is an older property and you aren't going to get all the luxury (like sound proofing) of a chain hotel. If you're looking for charm, here it is. read more

Booked this location on Booking.com! First problem was that the photos and description of this inn are completely different from reality! There is NO hot tub in the room or any room for that matter. There is a hot tub for general use outside! The room we were given accommodated a King bed, loveseat and tv, tub/shower and toilet were so crammed into such a small place if you are claustrophobic don't bother! To top it off the ceiling was an A frame and that probably didn't help with the small size of the room. The room was dirty with old furniture and a front glass door that didn't really feel as if it closed all the way. The staff on location are understanding and very apologetic to the situation and offered a full refund when we found a more accommodating place! read more

A real cozy place with comfy beds and incredibly friendly staff that really made me feel welcome! There's yummy hot breakfast in the morning and the coffee is good, so there was no need for me to go elsewhere before heading to the lifts. I would definitely try to stay here again the next time I'm in Mammoth. The room we stayed in was well equipped with heater, microwave, refrigerator & freezer, cable TV, and WiFi 6. As mentioned, the beds are comfortable. Ideal place to stay for easy access to the village gondola and Mammoth Mountain. Plenty of local businesses within walking distance. Shuttle stop #13 is very close by and about 5 stops from the village. read more

We recently stayed here for 2 nights and I was pleasantly surprised with how warm and homey it felt. The front office staff was very friendly and the lobby feels like a friend's cozy cabin. Our room was clean, quaint, and comfortable with everything we needed after a long day skiing. If that wasn't enough I was overjoyed with the yummy hot breakfast that was served! Perfect way to start the day!! I highly recommend staying here and I look forward to my next stay!! Thank you Cinnamon Bear for being our home away from home for the weekend. read more

Cute little B&B close to Canyon Lodge. This was my second stay at Cinnamon Bear. I was solo and stayed in one of their micro rooms, like last time. The room had a fridge and microwave, always appreciate that as I travel with my own perishable snacks. The heater worked well, and the bed had a memory foam topper. The jacuzzi was steaming, as was the breakfast they serve every morning from 7-9. I like to get some of the first turns at mammoth so an early and hearty breakfast is appreciated. The owners are a lovely family that do a great job making the Cinnamon Bear a comfortable place to be, as well as the best value that you'll find in Mammoth. It's centrally located to anything you could want, some within walking distance and the rest just a short drive away. I will return! read more
