8/10 Good
"This hotel is probably the ugliest motel in Mammoth. But it has an excellent location. The staff were fine and helpful, but they won’t give you any toiletries in your room. You have to make sure you ask for them upon check in this includes a hairdryer so if you want something other than a quarter size bar of soap you need to ask them. but everything worked fine and it was clean. There’s also laundry facilities there which are useful if you’re hiking backpacking, and a working ice machine."
