We résolu liked station here. The only thing is that the walls are to thin and you can hear everything which woke me up a couple times. The breakfast that is included is more like a snack.

Needs work
We were not impressed with your property. From the broken front door to the squeaky bed and paper thin floors. Poor parking situation, over communication, penny pinching with the parking passes... Your inn needs a major overhaul. Even the details like busted art work above the bed and broken toilet paper holder, clogged bathroom sink... It was really unacceptable for what the price you asked for it.

Parking for this property is terrible. The management called and texted many time for me to move my vehicle. I was even woke up after 10pm by a phone call to move my car with no where to move to. I would never stay at this property again!!!

I don't recommend this hotel. There are 9 rooms and pretty much only 4 parking spots, I was lucky to get a spot. Toilet wasn't cleaned when we arrived. Small room, they might have bigger rooms I don't know. Not many places to put your bags. This hotel does not have any staff available, you have to text them if you need someting. Walking distance to restaurnts, and shuttfe stop. 0.7 miles to gondola.

The Mammoth Inn
The room stunk to high heaven of what appeared to be Pine-Sol cleaner; the only lamp in the room was broken; Bedsheets were stained; serious parking issues; mildew pervasive in both the shower, and in the corners outside of the showers in the bathroom. Telephone contact numbers left by the inn in case of emergency were non-responsive.

It was terrible. No one was managing the property, none of the guest could get a hold of anyone. We had to shovel snow out of the property ourselves & don’t get helped with anything late in the evening.

Decent place
We booked this quickly because we needed a place to stay for literally seven hours to get a good nights sleep before hitting the slopes. After booking we then read the reviews and got very scared! But we it seemed clean and decent. I don’t know if the horrible descriptions made them clean up the place, or maybe we just got lucky with our room. It should be very clear that this is a self service place. Arriving at 11 there was no one behind the desk but they text you a lockbox number and code to get your key. That went smoothly. We stayed in the motel six the next night and this place was better. It also should be known and there really is no breakfast, except for a few granola bars and two chocolate milks in the fridge. We were the first ones up so I would venture to say that no one else got much breakfast. Definitely don’t count on breakfast here, plan on eating a bigger meal elsewhere if you are looking for nourishment.

The property showed nice on photos however, the door was extremely light weight and didnt fit the frame, you could clearly see in or out of the room around the edges of the frame. The staff stayed up late and dod laundry among many other things right next to the room, we could hear it all as the walls were paper thin. There were also bugs in the bedroom and mold in several places in the bathroom.

Rude service for broken furnitures
The first day we arrived the sofa & chair both broken, the legs are not balance, when we call the front desk, Salt told me ‘ you only have 2 people, you don’t need the sofa, if you don’t like, you can check out right now!” That was very rude, it was not very nice to said that ! Pls see picture
The sofa leg is broken, we can’t even sit on it , after we argued they replace one for us the next day

Small, basic, but a fine value
Room was small, no desk. But comfortable. Some old broken floor tiles. But the location was lovely. Always appreciate free coffee and WiFi. Nice dining area downstairs. For the price -- a fine value.

Sorely Disappointed
The rooms are clean and cozy. There was NO continental breakfast. The frig was locked and no other food in dining area. The heart clogging individually wrapped pastries provided in room were moldy. The grounds outside are ghetto-like. No pride in ownership. Felt unsafe by appearance…

Beyond Disappointed
This “Inn” is not as depicted in the photos on their website. I paid for two queen beds (for my friend) and there’s only one. This put my friend in an awkward position. Not to mention my embarrassment. We were both horrified! This place looks like a ghetto. There’s old construction stuff dumped. There’s pine needles a foot deep mixed with trash, beer cans, whiskey bottles, cups, plates, trash!, bathtub with weeds, broken table. Ever hear of a trashcan? This place is a fire hazard. I paid for this room for my friend. I’m embarrassed for what she must think of me. Have you been here lately? It feels unsafe. The grounds need some serious cleanup. Update your website photos so people know what to expect. This place does not feel safe. My photos will be on Yelp. Under the circumstances, I’d like a full refund on rm 7 and rm 8. AND my toilet in rm 7 runs constantly. We’re in a drought! My heart thanks you for the artery clogging “breakfast provided” cakes and pastries. Unbelievable!

Dirty hot and full of bugs
We checked in nobody was onsite. The ceiling fan didn’t work, the room was stuffy with no AC, ratty towels and dirty bed linens. We told them we needed another room. The other room was even hotter with sun shining directly through window with white stains all over the comforter which was very dirty. There was also dead bugs all over the floor. We told him we wouldn’t be staying and would call hotels.com for a refund

The staff was fantastic 👏 considering current times and all. Only real thing was parking. Yikes. If you didn't you move your car during or after a snow storm you could be subject to a ticket or tow. I have learned a lot about these fun ski vacations and one thing I know for sure is that you have to be on point with all the vehicle regulations. It can get very complicated. I understand everybody has to make a buck but when your on vacation or out for a little leisure time make sure you do not have to think about the parking if at all possible. This parking part can be a real bummer. FYI make sure you can plainly put the parking permit clearly on your dashboard as well. Merry Christmas and safe travels

This inn makes it painfully obvious that they cut corners to minimize cost to operate their facility. Cleaning staff doesn't seem to care because it only seems they clean once you check out (our room was uncleaned in our entire 3 night stay). There is also no reception - just a sign at the front desk - if you can call it that. There's a number on Expedia to call if you need anything, but all they can do is answer your questions. If you need help, you'll probably have to wait - but I wouldn't know. Amenities were fine - except breakfast which is incredibly misleading. They give you $1 cereal cups - if they even put it out for your - or unlock the fridge for that matter. There was one day (Saturday) that we didn't even get breakfast because the fridge was still locked, and the cereal wasn't left out. I'm getting more upset writing this. Will not be coming back.

Nice quaint location, super nice but one issue the place has super thin walls so you can hear noise of people walking, and quiet time is from 10pm-8am but that is false it is not really regulated unless someone complains, which no one is present so you have to text a number to complain.. other then that the place is super clean and in a nice area

Older building so could hear others moving about in halls and in other rooms. Because of Covid, we were confined to our small room and could not use any of the common areas. It would have been nice to sit by their fireplace.
