Eastside Guest House is a great place to stay. I've stayed here probably four or five times over…read morethe years, and I've always had a great experience. It has a really nice, laid-back atmosphere, a great scene, and it's especially good if you're traveling with kids. The little coffee shop out front is a great touch and makes it easy to grab something in the morning and just relax. It's the perfect kind of place to stay for a night or two while you're traveling before moving on to your next destination. Comfortable, chill, and consistently enjoyable. I've kept coming back over the years for a reason. Highly recommend Eastside Guest House!

We shared a loft apartment (~$200 a night after taxes and fees). Very clean and comfortable, loved the in suite kitchen area, dining area, and in suite bathroom. The common area was also useful to get some quick tea / coffee, get filtered water and do some laundry. The atmosphere of the whole property is organized, clean, quiet, and friendly. Highly recommend for folks who are coming to Bishop for outdoor activities and want a relaxing and comfy experience.

Overview: affordable for mammoth, cool people, and decent housing…read more ---- I decided to solo travel for snowboarding and booked a few days here, having no expectations and never having stayed at a hostel before in America. The process of picking up the keys was easy, there's a lobby area on a separate building and a bulletin board with an envelope and your name on it with instructions and your keys. The parking lot is pretty tight but doable and they have a motel in a separate building to the hostel. The hot tub is only for motel guests tho. The hostel has different room options with the cheapest one being a mixed dorm with 6 beds, I think I paid around $50 per night and it really depends on the time of the season for price fluctuations. They have more private rooms for more expensive which is a nice option if you are staying with someone you know, however the walls are quite thin here. In the private room, it was located next to the kitchen and you can practically hear everything through them, so not much privacy in that regard. I've met really cool people here and had a great time getting to know some of them. I even saw a person from my first trip on my second one as well! I also got to snowboard with some of the people in the dorm I shared which was awesome. You meet people of all walks of life here. The kitchen situation was straightforward, there are 2 fridges and you label your stuff with a sticky label and a sharpie with your name and checkout date. There are also communal dishes and utensils and a microwave, but so stove/oven so be prepared! I did see a mouse on the very first night I stayed there too but it was one of the cute small ones hahah. There's one bigger personal bathroom on the first floor and then the shared ones upstairs. The location is also prime for walking to the gondola and it's near some great restaurants. ---- Overall: my new go-to spot for staying in Mammoth, great for solo travelers or friends who want somewhere affordable to stay at, many pros to this place that outweigh its cons

The place is clean and well-kept, with a nice kitchen that guests can use, which is a big plus. Rooms are simple--some with bunk beds, others private. We booked our own room, which worked out well and was a good value for the price. Important note: don't leave food in your car. A bear had ripped into someone's vehicle for food while we were there, so always store it properly. Overall, a clean, budget-friendly stay with handy kitchen facilities--great for a short stop in Mammoth.

Heavy winds from 20-30 miles per hour with gusts ranging from 40-50 mph. I checked CalTrans every hour over night and they finally made the call for chains required on the 395, travel cautiously if you must drive warning. Crystal was very helpful and understanding of the weather situation along with delays in driving. I have never driven in those conditions and every forum related to mammoth mountain (Facebook and Instagram) said it was safe to stay out if you weren't in Mammoth already. Crystal, with the help of my Expedia agent, refunded my reservation despite their cancellation policy. Thank you so much Crystal! I can only say great things about my experience here booking with you and Edelweiss lodge. Thank you for your compassion and doing what you could to help us!

I'd definitely look into booking this place again. We ended up arriving late in the day after the office closed and they had sealed envelopes with our names for check-in instructions.

The room is small, as expected, but perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for a clean, comfortable place to shower, cool off, and rest. The AC absolutely cranks, which was heaven after being out in the heat all day. The owners have added so many thoughtful touches: toothbrushes, single-use toothpaste, makeup remover wipes, bath gels, plus a mini fridge and microwave in the room. When I checked in, I was greeted with bottled water, fruit, and cookies, such a kind welcome after a long day. There are also cute patios with hanging lights where you can sit and eat takeout, and there's even a homemade ice cream shop right next door with a really vibey outdoor patio. One of the owners mentioned a nearby trail just behind the motel, and I'm so glad I listened. I ended up walking through the beautiful Mary DeDecker native plant garden alongside a babbling creek with little bridges and an incredible sunset view over the mountain ridge. It turned into one of the highlights of my trip. This place may not look like much from the outside, but it has heart, kindness, and everything you actually need for a peaceful stay.

We stopped here last minute after deciding to take a detour to Mammoth to see the fall colors. I've…read morebeen visiting Mammoth a few times a year for over a decade and I feel like when searching for lodging this place always has vacancies so it scared me off. We usually do Airbnb because I like having a more homie feel when staying for longer trips. The prices here are cheaper than many other area hotels so I was leery. I've got to say this place greatly EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS. We got a king suite, it had a large living area, full size refrigerator and kitchenette area with toaster, microwave, toaster oven, and hot plate. I was initially leery about the sofa bed because the mattress was soft and super thin but I ended up sleeping really well on it and my mom slept in the bedroom and said the king bed was the most comfortable bed she's ever slept on. This is NOT a luxury hotel, it's older, quaint, and nothing fancy but it absolutely does the job. Big bonus is that it's dog friendly and our room opened to the forest so I could take the dogs right out the door to potty and walk around. It's also walkable to several restaurants including Schatts (one of our must stops when we are here). Breakfast was mediocre but enough to fill an empty stomach and even if breakfast wasn't offered the stay would be well worth the price. The only kind of con is there is no central heating or air. It was 26° when we were here and the only heat is a propane stove with no thermostat or a plug in radiant heater for the bedroom (the wall heater in the room didn't work). All in all we were still warm enough but it was impossible to keep a steady temp in the room.

Wrong choice. I thought I'll just grab something I can heat up in the morning in the microwave. Yeah, there is none. So the $ difference is lost. It's also an older building, there are no ramps or elevators to enter the building or 2nd floor. It's also noisy. Between the noise from the hallway to the busy and the cars outside I'm not sure which was louder. Room was clear and tidy, but design choices left a lot to be desired. There were no doors on the sink vanity and it just looked like someone took the doors off and forgot to put them back on. The closet in the corner was right next to the bedside table so it cramped and we had small bags.

After receiving an auto generated message "... a friendly reminder that you are scheduled to check out tomorrow 2026-09-09. Check out time is before 11:00 AM," we had a knock on our door just before 8am. "Don" - who introduced himself as "from the office", morning coffee cup in hand, needed our car moved so the crew could begin resurfacing the parking lot. This was the first time I was hearing about this and we were THE ONLY OCCUPIED UNIT IN THIS SECTION. Seems the resurfacing could have been mentioned AT ANY TIME from the moment I booked the reservation and certainly well before 8am the day of check-out. One reason I went with a kitchenette suite was the assigned parking space in front of the unit, which I knew would be convenient for us 2 gals, that aren't exactly Spring chickens, unloading and loading my SUV packed with items needed for our 2 week road trip through the Sierras. I pointed out the message from the previous night I received from them to be out by 11am. He clarified he wasn't asking us to leave, just move the car out of the lot. I explained that we needed to pack the vehicle so we could checkout. I asked, if this was inconvenient, why were we booked in this room for 3 nights? I'm sure the crew had to be booked in advance, weren't they? Don told me no - A BOLDFACE LIE! 'It's a seasonal thing. Depends on the weather, which is good now.' ANYONE who has had to book ANY KIND of large repair job KNOWS it needs to be booked IN ADVANCE. I commented on how good the weather was PRIOR to Labor Day yet, only AFTER Labor Day weekend is the lot being resurfaced so, clearly, he scheduled this resurfacing to begin after the last holiday of the Summer, knowing he had a reservation booked in unit #304, 3 nights, checking out TUESDAY the 8th. His reply to this was, 'C'mon, work with me here. I paid a lot of money for this.' To which I replied, 'I AM working with you, Don. The agreement, and what I've paid for, is to checkout by 11am, using the space assigned to my unit. We WILL be out before 11.' He seemed to forget: I PAID MONEY - - IN ADVANCE!!! I had to further explain that we still had to load the SUV and we would NOT be willing to walk back and forth from the unit, across a parking lot that's being slurried, to do this. Apparently, it hadn't occurred to him that if the lot is being slurried while we're in the unit, we would then be walking across slurry to load. Not that he thought much of us paying guests. We finished getting dressed, packed the car and departed before 9:15. As we left I said to the foreman, 'Sorry for the delay, we weren't made aware of this work until an hour ago.' 'No problem, happens all the time. The job was booked in July, but we still have to wait.' 'Really? Two months ago? I was told by Don he didn't book the work in advance, it was seasonal.' This got a chuckle, 'No, we were booked for today.' Of COURSE they were! On what planet can you call any kind of work crew to come over and start work at 8am because the weather is good?!? I booked the room 8.7.26 via Hotels.com, a month BEFORE our arrival and a month AFTER Don booked the resurfacing. Add in the fact that hot water took 12 minutes to reach the taps in our room (yes, we timed it), and I can't recommend staying at Holiday Haus Motel. But Christina is a gem!
