I had a nice stay at this hotel with a balcony looking out over the channeled stream that runs through the north side of the property. The hotel is immaculate and the bar/lounge area is cozy on a winter night with live music on Fridays. The only drawbacks for me were: 1) a $23 per night "resort fee," which to me is just bait-and-switch (this is NOT a resort with tennis courts and miniature golf, etc); 2) very dark rooms (dark brown wallpaper over everything, dark curtains) and 3) absolutely tasteless food at breakfast. Powdered eggs covered in some awful cheese, cubed/frozen potato bits that tasted reconstituted, and cardboard-tasting biscuits.

Perfect post-hike hotel. A friend and I really wanted a place to unwind after a backpacking trip and this was a fantastic find. We used the hot tub, enjoyed the breakfast spread and read books by the creek. I also appreciated the old-timey western music they played softly in the dining rooms. Overall a great hotel with a lot of high end touches & amenities.

The creek side grounds are lovely. If you possibly can, get a second floor room with a balcony overlooking the creek. It is so worth it. Friendly check in and nice room. However the halls are dark and the carpet on the stairs up to the second floor are disgustingly dirty and need to be replaced. I was afraid I had checked into a dump so I was very happily surprised when I got our room. Great pool and seating areas along the creek. Will stay here again. Just need to look past the hallways.

Beautiful grounds, comfortable and spacious room (king, creekside/balcony) with a view of the stream that runs through the property and the White Mountains in the distance. It was over 100 F in Bishop during our stay so the pool and well-functioning room AC were both appreciated. Great bed, furniture and writing desk. Contemporary and nicely designed bathroom and shower.

The aesthetics of the property and the location were excellent. Beautiful scenery, well kept, and clean. The majority of the staff were pleasant, friendly, and welcoming. The breakfast was decent and the dining area was clean. The only thing that we felt could have been better was the hard and uncomfortable mattress. All in all it was a very pleasant stay with a gorgeous view of the creek and snow-capped mountains.

Stayed for one night. It was hot but rooms were cool. Ground floor, no real patio. I think the sliding windows lead you right out to the parking lot so I parked my car there so I could look at it. Rooms are SUPER DIM. Like, dimmer than I’m used to. You need more light in here! Other than that, OK for a one-night stay. The resort fee seemed silly since the facility did not really look like a resort (maybe there was a pool somewhere)? And there were no other amenities. Breakfast was.. fine.

This is probably the nicest hotel in Bishop, and everything was nearly perfect. Rooms were clean and updated. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was pretty good as far as American breakfasts go. The creek side area was nice. Although I did not use the pool or jacuzzi, it looked nice. Location was excellent. My only complaint was that the rooms did not have enough lighting.

Accidentally double booked myself at this property with one reservation paid for and the other due at the time of check in. The manager kindly agreed that, as a courtesy, they would cancel the unpaid reservation with NO PENALTIES. He had me call Expedia to verify the cancellation so the hotel would not have to pay Expedia for the booking. The next day I woke up to 4 charges from the hotel (totaling more than the canceled booking)…when I asked the manager about the charges he became belligerent, yelling at me. I’m in shock that any business would behave in this manner and have notified my bank of the fraud. They are flat out thieves!!!

I would like to make a suggestion or give an opinion. when I arrived at the hotel I had already booked 3 nights , so I asked the front desk personal if she would give us a good rate, we would stay an extra night. Unfortunately she didn’t give us any special rates and just quoted the normal rate and honestly she sounded like she didn’t care if we stayed another night or not. So maybe management could train the staff on sales 101 “never loos a sale” just my opinion. Other than that your hotel for the area has many charms, and we would come back in the future.

The location was great, next to the most famous bakery in town. The lobby ambiance was nice. The rooms were big enough and fairly comfortable. Breakfast was so bad, they were not serving enough food, not enough plates or utensils, not even enough bread, and people had to wait a long time to get a clean plate and the food was just very simple and ok. There was no room service during our stay and whenever we requested room service, the answer was that because of holidays it's an employee appreciation they don't clean the rooms until the day we check out!!!!!

At 4:15 my room was not ready and the woman at the counter said, "We're kinda backed up." Finally at 4:35 the check-in itself was handled efficiently but I never heard a simple "We're sorry you had to wait." I realize things happen, but a simple apology would have made me feel that the hotel cares about honoring check-in time.

Our room came with breakfast which was nice, there was plenty of choices and it was pretty good. Close by the hotel is Erick Schat's Bakery which I’ve been told is a not to be missed. Sadly I didn’t know this until after we headed for home.

Great location, walkable to downtown and it’s right next to the famous schats bakery. Across the street is the city park, picnic, bring the kids to see the ducks and get some steps in. There is also a public pool and a little skate park. Near by the park is a dog park and baseball field. Great hotel location, with the higher price for convenience. This will definitely be our number one choice.
