Abbiamo trascorso una notte in questa struttura prima di dirigerci verso lo Yosemite Park. Le camere sono numerose e l’ambiente risulta molto pulito, probabilmente grazie a una ristrutturazione recente. La zona lounge è davvero accogliente, soprattutto per il grande camino che crea un’atmosfera rilassante. La posizione è comoda, a pochi passi dalla via principale e vicina a vari locali e ristoranti. Ottimo anche il parcheggio, spazioso e facile da utilizzare.

Loved our stay here! The lobby was beautiful with a massive fire pit and amazing wine bar. The rooms were very cute. Saw some mixed reviews online, but this hotel is perfect for location and a nice bed and place to stay. Would highly highly recommend.

Abbiamo soggiornato in questa struttura una sola notte, prima di visitare lo Yosemite park. Dispone di molte camere ed è molto pulita, sembra essere stata ristrutturata di recente. Ha una bella zona lounge in cui rilassarsi, vicino ad un grande camino. Si trova nei pressi della strada principale e a breve distanza da bar e ristoranti. Dispone di un ampio e comodo parcheggio.

The cancelation policy is 48 hours instead of 24 hours (as is typical) for basically only a 38% partial refund. While I understand from a business acumen standpoint why this stance is in place, given this is a tourist town for mainly winter sports, dependent on weather patterns and other unpredictable factors, this policy has left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I will be recommending other accommodations in the area with more flexible policies to all friends/family moving forward. I will also find alternatives myself unless this policy is abridged. Get it together folks.

Outbound Mammoth has a wine bar with the most magical sommelier, Chip.
Over three visits to Outbound Mammoth, I’ve watched Chip charm visitors from France, Georgia, and right here in town. His personality cuts through language barriers and every chat becomes an adventure, every recommendation a revelation.
Chip doesn’t just sell wine; he shares its stories. His deep knowledge and easy humor turn casual browsers into true enthusiasts. If you’re in Mammoth, meeting Chip at Outbound is a must. You’ll see exactly what I mean.
Chip is a gift—the Cadbury Egg of Mammoth.
