Clean and comfortable and good price

Everything was excellent. Staff was great. I appreciated non-smoking room and rate use or no use of some rooms by pets. I love animals, but I have allergies.
James, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not enough parking. We were worried the whole time if we went to dinner would we have parking when we got back. Would make us reconsider staying here again.
Jeffrey, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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!
Christopher, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Vinod, 2-night trip
