I like how spacious the parking lot is. The location is ideal, right in the center of everything. Walking distance from Schat's Bakery & other restaurants, & right next to the park, so it's great for people who have dogs staying with them. I did notice there are a good amount of guests that have pets with them here - so this business is pet friendly! Our room was ready by the time we checked in & was clean. Walls can be a little thin, but we still had a good night's sleep. My favorite part of the stay was the continental breakfast included with our room - sausages, eggs, gravy & biscuits & all the usual options like cereal & fruit & pancakes. The staff were always on site, cleaning tables & refilling food. Such a filling meal, especially for a day of snowboarding ahead. We didn't use the extra amenities but they were nice to have - indoor pool, sauna, exercise room. Overall we would be delighted to come back!

Our family is completely on Cloud Nine over this event, and we cannot THANK YOU enough- and recommend our dear friends at Green Fox Events beyond highly- they are truly OUTSTANDING!! XOXO

It really takes a lot for me to actually write a poor review in life! (though this experience makes…read moreme realize I ought to take time out to write some for the many amazing businesses I've had the honor of giving business to over the years!) Really, this one frankly ought to be a one-star review, as my friends would say I'm being way too nice. ;) I'd say the two-stars is mostly only thanks to the initial gal Cara I had spoken with, as she seemed great and I'm sure what happened isn't her fault AT all, as she wasn't ever on the actual e-mail thread with the office assistant person. Ah also the very first person I ever spoke with when I had first called back in July (don't recall her name?) seemed SO sweet and kind, so I at least feel that's worth the additional star as well. Anyway since the bridal world can be a tender time of life, I almost feel a responsibility to simply forewarn anyone searching for 'hourly' booking options, etc. Based on how this business behaved (them offering the client an hourly service option, going through a pre-booking process that was certainly questionable at numerous points, although I somehow still was willing to move forward with them at the time), and then a month later at the eleventh hour receiving a perplexing e-mail from them, with a tone of condescension asking to make sure I understood that this would be charged as an hourly service--when quite literally, that was the entire thing we were booking them for initially, so what a strange question! Then at that point, me as the client having to 'read between the lines', to directly ask if they'd sent that e-mail because perhaps they'd changed their minds/didn't want to take me on as an hourly client after all? And only then them confirming that yes that is the case, as essentially I wasn't worth it to them, so they abruptly canceled the agreement we'd e-mailed about. (Which is hilarious that I would have ended up paying them so much more than I'd originally imagined due to the amount of hourly work I'd started to plan to utilize them for, and not to mention referring them to many friends in the future--but instead, of course now someone couldn't even pay me to give this place business, sadly.) Thanks to this company's truly surprising treatment of a prospective client, and wasting time for so many weeks, I will no longer even be getting married in the location originally imagined. Yup. It put such a bizarre damper on the whole entire experience, to the point of actually taking away my previous dreams of getting married in Mammoth for now. Best of luck to everyone in their bridal era right now--the treatment out in the world is not always what you might expect! ;)

I returned in August to spend about 5 days here with my friend. When we arrived we were greeted by…read morethe sound of two dogs barking and whining in the room next door. It went on for several hours until almost 11 PM. When it happened again the second night, I contacted to front office to complain to the owner. To my surprise, I learned that the dogs were his!

But I didn't hear the dogs again after that.

No need to check-in or ckeck-out as everything was pre-arranged. The room was quaint and well maintained equipped with a frig and coffee maker. The tv had wide selection of channels and the bed was very comfortable. The room stayed cool during the triple digit August hot summer. Convenient ice maker and fish cleaning facilities with parking at the room entrance for easy loading. Quiet location near Main St. easy walk to restaurants and even a bowling alley that serves a surprisingly great dinner for a an entertainment venue. The motel is family owned and operated and shows a great deal of pride of ownership. Highly recommended.

He couldn't manage the basic duties of playing our playlists we sent him weeks in advance. Oh yeah, he'll whine about the Wi-Fi this and that- but any half way experienced and professional Dj would have had those things DOWNLOADED and ready to go. Or at the very least, you'd think he could give a damn to troubleshoot his own professional issues rather than just playing a bunch of TRASH music that he picked that our guests have repeatedly told us they hated (which my wife and I did too- cmon man, NOBODY and I mean NOBODY like Pitbull ). And the only thing he could have got right? Yes he had a Photo Booth, but he sent us with an empty USB stick with NO pictures. When my wife and I emailed him multiple times to see if he could send the file, he ignored our emails and responded rudely and arrogantly before disappearing forever and not sending a damn thing. HOW HARD IS IT TO EMAIL A FILE YOU MORON. also to top it all off, this jerk was doing a seriously racist impression/ voice of Chinese people which he seemed to find hilarious. Straight up? Don't hire this guy. He can't do his basic job. He shows up and acts like a wildcard. He's a jerk- he's not a serious DJ. Please save yourself the trouble. I'll be happy to post an update with his inevitably sends jerky whiny response to this review- but every single word here is true. This guy is truly awful in EVERY WAY. (PS I would also like to add that he showed up to our wedding dressed like a bad 1980s gigalo. He clearly had no respect for our day or a shred of professionalism about him. It was honestly a comically silly outfit but pretty embarrassing at the same time (for us and him).

Nothing was done so I asked for a refund. What appeared to be a manager was reluctant to refund my money. She defended the kids causing the disturbance and asked if I didn't expect kids to be kids. My response was I expected the adults working there to rectify the problem. Clearly they need new management or new owners that care a customer left their business because they could not enjoy a movie they paid for. Born and raised here 60 years I've never had an experience like tonight. I will purchase this movie on Netflix or Prime to avoid being the problem even though all I did was to try to support a business I've seen hundreds of movie in, small town only offers one theater unfortunately. My advice is go to Mammoth theater where they appreciate your business.

It was such a wonderful experience and I wish that we have been doing it more often. We went to go see the new Wonka movie and the sound and picture were very good. I loved the Bishop history that played before the movie and it was a nice little touch. We ended up getting there a little early to make sure that we got good seats because they are not assigned and we were worried about our kids being able to see the screen. But they do have booster seats for kids that they were able to use if they could not see. I highly recommend to go and see a movie at this cute little theater.

On the wedding day, Mandy met us at our airbnb before sunrise for getting ready photos. She immediately made everything feel comfortable and fun and that continued through our entire day together. As two people not typically comfortable getting their picture taken, it meant so much to have her guide us through the day. The pictures came extremely fast and timely and were absolutely beautiful!! Her ability to capture the setting and landscape alongside personal moments was exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and experience. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to elope!!
