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!!!!

Verified traveller

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
The bed was really hard and therefore I didn’t get much sleep. The pillows were equally firm and uncomfortable. There was no table in the sitting area. No hand soap. The bottle was either empty or didn’t work. The lighted mirror blinked and flashed like it had a short in it. So, there was no light available to put on make up or brush our teeth. The toilet paper dispenser was really squeaky. It was loud and like nails on a chalkboard annoying. The breakfast was not included. It cost $12. It was cold and very basic. The cut up fruit was over ripe pineapple with very, and I mean very small pieces of cantaloupe with it. The orange juice tasted like water downed tang. And the milk tasted like powdered milk. You can get scrambled eggs, sausage, and pancakes with Hashbrowns and real orange juice at McDonald’s. At McDonald’s it will be hot and cost less. It was clean. Having a refrigerator and microwave was nice. If we would’ve had a table in the room, we would’ve been able to enjoy our food that we brought. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The checkout staff was equally pleasant.

I liked the location of the property, it was close to the town center of Mammoth Lakes and it's only a few minutes drive from the hotel to the ski resort. What I didn't like was the price, I paid for 3 nights and this was one of the cheaper hotels in town. In any other town this hotel would cost a third of what I paid, yes it was clean but it was very old and out dated. The Empeiria High Sierra Hotel was equivalent to a Motel 6 or a highway stop Best Western, nothing special it was just clean, which is good I guess!

Awful staff! Very rude and unfriendly, the hotel itself was clean and nicely updated, great rooms, but the staff it’s a whole different story…needless to say I won’t be back at this hotel, unless the management is new.
