The Quality Inn Bishop sits right on Elm Street in the heart of Bishop, making it a practical base for exploring the Eastern Sierra. You’re within walking distance of Bishop City Park and the Canal Walk, so you can easily take your dog for a morning stroll before hitting the road or heading to nearby hiking trails like Little Lakes Valley.
The rooms are straightforward and comfortable—your choice of a king or two queens, along with the basics you’d expect: AC, free Wi-Fi, a microwave, and a fridge. The 40-inch TV is useful if you need to settle in during a winter storm, which happens up here. Blackout drapes help if you’re sensitive to early sunrise. Free parking includes RV spaces, which is helpful if you’re traveling with dogs and want easy vehicle access.
What makes this place dog-friendly is the grassy relief area on-site with a waste station, so you don’t have to hunt around town for a place to let your dog do their business. They allow up to two pets per room—dogs or cats under 50 pounds—for $15 per night each. Just remember you can’t leave them unattended in the room, which is a reasonable policy.
The free hot breakfast is convenient if you’re getting an early start to the trails, and there’s a small outdoor pool if you’re visiting in summer. The business center and guest laundry are there if you need them. The location makes sense geographically too—you’re close to the Mammoth area attractions while staying in Bishop proper, where there’s actual town infrastructure and restaurants rather than being isolated at high elevation.
Check-in runs from 4 PM to midnight, and checkout is by 11 AM, so you’ve got some flexibility if you want to sleep in after a day of hiking. Rates run roughly $95 to $176 a night depending on the season and room type.
