Remodeled to a modern look. Good Staff. Breakfast was fine (though have to pay). Lighting in the room was less, especially towards the farther side from door. Its probably old thin wall. Luckly our neighbors did not make much trouble. Quality of soaps could be better.

This is one of the few hotels in Mammoth with A/C. The A/C is quiet, powerful and you set it yourself. We arrived during a heatwave, switched from an apartment in a 4* hotel with multiple problems, I was in a terrible mood hassled and covered in mosquito bites despite using spray. This hotel staff could not have been nicer. A load of hotels in Mammoth had construction after a brutal winter, this one too installing new windows, but we did not hear construction noise at this hotel at all! It is a very modern, sleek hotel, simple no fluff . Wifi- Apple phones no problem. Androids may have to reconnect near reception when reentering the hotel before going to room. Breakfast was good selection. I don't eat meat. Husband liked the sausages and bacon. Real OJ but not best quality. Shower head needs cleaning, not dirty, but not all jets open. Make sure house cleaning mops floor. Otherwise everything clean, good beds, fridge, microwave. Pool and hot tub empty. We are light sleepers, we could hear the vending machine noise outside our room. I would shift the machines away from the wall and sound proof it a bit. But I really like the range of vending machines, for snacks and essentials. We were in a larger than average room that actually worked better than the apartment for a couple. Overall, this hotel has great management, really nice staff. And best of all A/C!!!!
