Had a wonderful stay at the limelight. The staff were all wonderful and accommodating. A quick walk to the village gondola. Two hot tubs and the gym was well stocked. My only gripe is the food. We had dinner there and the food wasn't the best. But the breakfast was really good. Maybe they need to work out the kinks on the food. Overall I would Definitely would stay there again. read more

Funny how Limelight Mammoth has the same rating as Motel 6 down the street. We stayed at the end of February for the skiing trip and the obvious pros are that this hotel is brand new and VERY conveniently located. Amenities are nice and rooms are very spacious. Bed was super comfy too! That's why I give 3 stars. Cons... communication was difficult due to the staff's language barrier, service was extremely slow and unorganized. There were constant parking/vallet issues. Huge lines at the reception and restaurants. Only one coffee machine was working during breakfast time. I didn't feel like it's worth the price that we paid for this hotel. read more

We stayed at Limelight Mammoth from Jan 29-Feb 1, 2026. On our first night, the assigned room experienced a complete heating failure (thermostat fully inoperable, room temperature dropped to approximately 58°F overnight) along with widespread electrical outlet failure. We have children, who slept in winter clothing due to the cold. Maintenance indicated the electrical issue could require opening the wall. We were moved to a different room the following morning. Some restaurant charges were comped, which was appreciated. However, the first night's room charge and associated taxes were not adjusted, despite the room being uninhabitable overnight. We made multiple written attempts to resolve this. We escalated the matter through Limelight Hotels corporate and Aspen Hospitality, the parent organization under Aspen One, as well as to the Director of Operations at the property, but did not receive a response. We requested a refund of the first night only (approximately $502.87), which we believe is reasonable given the circumstances. Posting this here because direct corporate outreach has not resulted in a response. read more

I didn't stay at the hotel, so this is just a review of the Lounge/Bar/Restaurant area. Saturday nights the lounge is taken over by the melodic jams of Nomadic Practice, a local duo that mixes guitar and dj'ing to create a unique sound. They built a groovy and light atmosphere that truly embodies Mammoth as a place. The lounge staff was super accommodating to our medium sized group and was helpful with recommendations to us all to hadn't visited the Limelight yet. Their cocktails look nicely curated, albeit quite pricey, but you're also paying for ambiance and location. I didn't eat there, but their pizza and burger looked as advertised. I'm super happy I chanced in on a Saturday night, I definitely will be back and hope the vibes haven't changed. read more

I stayed up at the limelight during the past snow storm. Our room was $1600 a night (for basically 2 suites), we were there for a week. 3 families, none would stay there again. For the price, Id say I get to be picky...this wasn't a mid range hotel or a place to crash for skiing. The hotel was understaffed even though they knew it'd be fully booked (it's been open since December, months ago). The hotel restraunt, which is just tables in the lobby, stops taking taking reservations within 10min of opening, but half the tables are empty. They only had 2-3 servers the first night, and every night after; we were there 5 days. The first night people were getting sick off the coffee too (multiple people in our party and in the lobby). Easily half the people I talked to said it was their first day. And multiple made jokes about being afraid of the chef and how he'd close early. Haha that's funny...but the 4th time in 48 hrs someone says it, it's weird. And then room service (5-10pm) would be cancelled, or stop at 8pm. This is supposed to be a family oriented luxury hotel. You need to have food for kids available, especially during bad weather. One night the manager helped us out and got food from the kitchen for our family. The dinner was essentially out the window, totally unrealiable if you could get any. Also, the food was not that good (especially the breakfast). I get it, it's hotel food, in Mammoth. But for that price , it was the same food as any other hotel 2-3 tiers down. For luxury hotels, you get a full breakfast and dinner menu, multiple restraunts etc...we had pizza/burger/salad or egg/pancake/sausage and make your own oatmeal level food. Our room wasn't housekept 3 of the 5 days. No one provided sheets or bedding for the pull out bed for the kids for over 4 hours. I ended up just using the sheets/throw blanket from the adults beds. If housekeeping came , they did not refill towel on the ground, bath soap, or missing toilet paper roll. If you stayed here for 3 nights you'd be out $5000 dollars The TVs did not work. No Olympics, and the streaming channels also would freeze eg no disney. I was told it was a "hotel wide issue". We had 2 of 4 faucets handles break, one bath spout was a sink spout so you couldnt fill the bath in any reasonable way, and the shower wand in the other bath broke. Our bathroom hadn't been fully housekept, all the soap was empty. There's 4 kids plus adults, we go through soap. They don't refill it. We had a dirty cup in our room. Not like a spot, but weird brown goo on the bottom. There is nowhere to buy little amenities like toothpaste, advil etc The coffee and tea station was cleaned up after about 8pm. It's a snow storm, I put the kids to bed, I'd like tea. Nope. For this price hotels usually have evening snacks and 24/7 tea and coffee. For a luxury hotel, we were on our own for anything we needed. Ended up just walking to get food during the snowstorm most of the time as it want possible to reliably get food for kids. Plus the menu very small (again, for a high end hotel). The ATM is not an atm, it's converts cash to prepaid cards (why the heck would I want to do that). The entire hotel is cashless. Need money to tip valet or Ski instructors? Nope they can't help you. The ADA wheelchair door also didn't work, If you need that. The pool is technically heated...to 72 degrees. I get it's expensive to heat the pool, but just close it or don't have one if you can't afford to heat it properly for a ski lodge. I don't want to go to a tepid pool in the snow. Hotels in this price range in ski area have outdoor pools in the high &0s, so it feels good to get in. Not cool water. The valet guys and snow shovel team were great Yep, my post may sound whiny and I sound like a entitled. But this isn't motel 6. For the same price, I could stay in a luxury resort at any other mountain. Or rent an entire very nice home in mammoth. Or buy ski gear for every single person in my family *and* stay in budget place. This hotel is more than the Montage, more than Fairmont Gold, probably more than the St Regis my wife stayed at and it was the same as staying at $400 a night hotel. No ameneities, no luxuries, not even basic reliable services like food and housekeeping. Basically the hotel is a giant rip off. There is *no* reason to stay here. This is not to disparage the people who work there and *were* there. They cared and did their best. It's the people who *werent* there...admin, management...who can't staff a hotel properly, set up room service/housekeeping, have basic stuff for luxury visitors (chapstick? ATM/cash? Food? A bottle of soda? Refill toilet paper?) and have no interest in a luxury hotel. I'd never stay at a limelight *anywhere*. It's dollar for dollar the worst hotel I've ever visited. I emailed them after my terrible experience and they never even responded read more

Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience during our stay. It was puzzling that when booking online there was no option to select a valley view versus a hillside view. That's fairly standard practice at most hotels. I noted a request for a valley view in the reservation comments (and would have happily paid more for it) but we were assigned a low-floor room facing the ground level of the Westin. The rooms themselves are decent but quite basic, so the view really matters. A better view would have made the stay much more enjoyable. For a new hotel, I was surprised to find small maintenance issues (a missing screw on the toilet seat and problems with the sink). These details feel avoidable. The lobby design is very cool and unlike anything else in Mammoth, that part was impressive. I would encourage Limelight to be more transparent about room selection options during booking. Clear choices (and pricing tiers) would make expectations much easier to manage. read more

We wanted to check out this new establishment in Mammoth. There is only valet parking. We drove into the valet and they wouldn't park our car because we were not staying at the hotel, despite the fact we had dinner reservations at Limelight Lounge. For the restaurant ambience: The restaurant spans the entire lobby. The pool is on the floor below and guests are going back and forth through the lobby to the pool in bathrobes and swimsuits. There were two medium-large dogs in the lobby while we were eating. Food: - Bluefin tuna crudo- 6 small pieces, tuna was fresh and well-prepared. - Minestrone soup- soup was tasty, huge serving. - "Market Greens -- $18 shaved vegetables, sun gold tomato, Italian vin, ricotta salata." Large serving, included a few pieces of shaved kohlrabi, 4-5 pieces of shaved carrot, and grated parmesan, no tomato, no ricotta. - Roasted mushrooms- woodsy and flavorful. - Funghi pizza- dough was a bit undercooked but overall taste was good. - Roasted King Salmon- Salmon was mostly raw so sent it back. Chef overcooked the same piece until the white protein oozed out and served it again. We knew it was the exact same piece because it was missing the first chunk we sampled. The grilled treviso and olive gremolata were well-executed. - Dry Aged Cheese Burger- Ordered medium and came out raw with pool of bloody juices soaking the bun so sent it back. Server brought the replacement out with a steak knife and asked me to cut it in front of her- medium rare with bloody juices but edible. I said I would keep it but server said she personally wouldn't eat it and took it back again. Refer to photo for the third burger with menu description. No onions, no pickle, I ate the fries for dinner. Service: Our server was attentive and the manager comped two entrees. Dinner for 4 cost $167 including tip (no alcohol) and excluding the comped entrees. Will not be returning for this pricepoint. read more

Limelight Mammoth - "Dry Aged Cheese Burger -- $29 8oz, gruyere, confit garlic-dijon aioli, caramelized onion, pickle" - Hotels Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

We booked the Limelight Hotel Mammoth because it's the newest hotel in Mammoth. We usually stay at The Westin, but wanted to try something new. Because it's brand new, I would say it is currently the nicest hotel in Mammoth--though that of course comes at a premium. That said, it is not a 5-star, full-service hotel. There is no room service and no spa. I would describe it as a step up from a Marriott Courtyard: modern, clean, stylish, but not ultra-luxury. Mammoth overall has mostly dated apartments, condos, and houses near the ski resort, so Limelight definitely stands out. Valet parking is $35/day with in-and-out privileges. The hotel also offers complimentary rides (first come, first serve) in Ford Expeditions to restaurants and around town. They've partnered with Audi as well and have a few vehicles onsite that guests can borrow for up to two hours, with suggested scenic routes if you want to explore the area. We were there for a 3-day holiday ski weekend. There were three of us, and we booked the Limelight Suite (504 sq ft) instead of the Deluxe Queen Room (410 sq ft). The Limelight Suite was about $5,000 for three nights, but remind you this was during a holiday weekend. The Limelight Suite features a king bedroom and a spacious open-concept living area with a sleeper sofa, dining table, microwave, Lavazza coffee machine and SMEG fridge. Our room had a private balcony with amazing views. The bathroom included both a walk-in shower and a separate tub in a glassed in area. Storage was well thought out, with a dresser and hanging space. There were two 55-inch TVs, though oddly, when you turned one on in the bedroom, both TVs would turn on despite the separation wall. Breakfast is included and starts at 7am. The buffet offered cold cereals, oatmeal, fruit, pastries, toast/bagels, eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and more. In the breakfast area there was tea, drip coffee, and two fully automatic Lavazza machines--there was usually a line for those. They did offer to-go cups so you could make a latte or cappuccino and bring it back to your room. Breakfast was fine, but not amazing. One day, friends who woke up later found that some items had run out. We didn't have that issue since we were up early to get to the ski resort when it opened. The hotel has a concierge, as well as a pool and hot tub. One downside is that to access the pool and hot tub from the room elevators, you have to walk past the bar and lobby seating areas. Most people do this in robes, which can feel a little awkward when others are dressed up for drinks or a night out. The lobby itself is very open and has multiple seating areas. On Saturday night there was a DJ, and the lobby was packed--it was really lively and crowded. This may have been amplified by the holiday weekend, but it did feel busy. There were also a lot of families staying at the hotel since school was out. Location-wise, Limelight is excellent. It's directly next door to The Westin and directly across the street from The Village and the Village Gondola. Limelight also has a ski valet room where you can store skis and boots (boots must be in a bag). You put your boots on there and grab your skis before heading out, though there is still a bit of walking involved to reach the gondola. From the Limelight, while carrying your skis and wearing ski boots, you have to walk down a long set of stairs, cross the street, then go up another set of stairs to reach the Village Gondola. The Village Gondola then takes you to Canyon Lodge, where the lifts are located. This is where the difference between Limelight and The Westin next door becomes noticeable. At The Westin, the ski valet is located directly under the Village Gondola, which allows you to walk from the hotel in regular shoes, go down the stairs, cross the street, put your boots on at the valet, and then carry your skis up to the gondola. When you return, you can drop everything right there below the gondola. With Limelight, you have to walk in ski boots and carry your skis up and down all of those stairs, both coming and going. This may not be a big deal for some, but it's something to seriously consider if you have children or simply don't enjoy hauling skis around. Overall, I do recommend the Limelight, it's a really nice, modern hotel with a great location, beautiful rooms, and a fun, lively atmosphere. Just go in knowing the trade-offs compared to The Westin, especially when it comes to ski access and value. Please see all my detailed pictures. read more

New property you expect a few bumps, but our stay was awesome! Great friendly service, free breakfast to get the day rolling. Nice property , great central bar that was always hopping. Only complaint is it's a bit of a hike to the hot tub in the cold, but given the lot, not sure what choice they had. Absolutely will be back !!! read more

Valet broke my car key off in the ignition and the night manager did absolutely nothing to help the situation!

My teenage son and I stayed here 2/20/26 weekend and while the hotel is still working out some issues that I'm sure are common to new hotels, we were impressed. Special thanks to front desk manager Joy and valet Carter. There was an issue with our stay being on 2 different reservations (not the hotels fault) and unfortunately I had to move rooms (and would have appreciated assistance with this) but other than that I loved the lobby and pool/jacuzzis. the breakfast buffet was very nice also...and the bartenders were excellent. I had an attentive female bartender both nights and wish I remembered her name but she always made sure I had a fresh drink or food. Also would be better if they had a food menu during day hours too, not just after 3 or 4 pm. read more

I feel for the employees working because they were clearly understaffed. When I asked about dining in the building restaurant during check-in in order to use my $100 credit, they said there was only one waiter and long waits to come back. Naturally they didn't tell me the restaurant was closing in about 45 minutes. When I called down, they said the restaurant was closing in 5 minutes. I ran down and the bartender wouldn't take my order because the restaurant was closed. I went to the front desk and talked to the same person I had just called and they got the chef to agree to take my order. Food was mediocre so that was kind of a waste regardless. Oh, and be warned there's no self parking. All-in-all, obnoxious place to visit. read more

What a perfect hotel. The customer service is top notch. Everything is clean and modern. Can't wait to come back!

Generally this is a wonderful place to stay, except right now. There's refurbishing going on right now with jackhammers from 9:00am to 5:00pm daily inside the hotel. No way can you escape the unbearable noise. The front desk said we should have received notice of the noise when we checked in, but we did not. We should have been informed when we made our reservation. The front desk can only say sorry when we inquired about the noise. This is unacceptable. read more

Weird experience at the new limelight. First off my experience with the valet was a bad start. He wasn't very helpful and I ended up unloading all my bags myself. Then in the elevator he was telling me a story and his breath smelled a little like alcohol. Could be wrong... but not a good first impression. Valet not helpful on the way out either. The customer service otherwise was as best average with a few helpful people like Andrew at the front desk - The rest of the front desk.. not so much. I was told we could leave our room at noon for our checkout because we had a dog in the room (which is a small bonus of staying here) but when I got back to the hotel room after my half day of skiing, I got locked out and had to walk all the way back to the front desk to get a new card even after I had spoke to the woman. Overall it was a decent experience, but considering the price for a room you're better off in an air bnb. Other notes: Tiny fridge in room Great location Solid breakfast (lacks flavor but good options still) Cool area for kids either video games Feels clean read more

Showed up and room was not ready, had to wait. Took 2 days to get a do not disturb sign. The fridge was not working, made 3 phone calls to try and get it fixed because I had dog food that was perishable. Ice machine was broken..finally got annoyed enough I then fixed the ice machine. Really wanted to like this place because yes it is pretty but no one in this place is in a hurry to actually do their job. The counter where the ice and water were covered in dirty towels. read more

We had such a wonderful stay at the Limelight Mammoth. Even though the hotel was very busy, the service was absolutely amazing. Huge shout-out to Kennedy and Andrew for being so kind, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay -- and to the manager as well for running such a great team and creating such a great experience. Everything felt organized, friendly, and smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend! Additionally, I really appreciate Aspen Hospitality Group's sustainability pledge to reduce carbon emissions through their all-electric hotel design and commitment to a greener future. It's inspiring to see a hotel that truly cares about the environment while still delivering outstanding hospitality. read more

This review is for the Lounge and not the hotel itself, although we spoke to several people who have stayed and were not impressed. It's still very new so keep that in mind, but I don't think it's worth its price tag yet. Unfortunately, this place still has some issues with both service and food. The cheese plate was decent, but for the price, they could have included nuts or something. The burger had a strange fish egg taste, which seemed intentional, but it was a bit off-putting. My husband isn't picky but I couldn't eat it. I noticed the table next to us sent their food back, and were not offered anything else. They mentioned their burger was raw and the butter for was frozen. I could go on, but I'll spare you the details. It's worth checking out, but don't expect a 5-star experience. On the positive side, we had a fantastic server named Sydney. She's working with what the kitchen gives her, and she did a great job despite the shortcomings of the food. read more

Had high hopes for this place as a homeowner on the mountain. We stopped by to have a drink at the bar and try the restaurant. After self parking in a large unoccupied lot (we had our dogs in the back) we saw a valet running our way. We told him our plans and he said that will be a $20 parking fee. We decided to get back into our car and go to tamarack restaurant. It has a much nicer vibe - and free parking. read more

We had a wonderful stay at the Limelight Hotel in Mammoth Lakes. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming from start to finish. The outdoor pool was fabulously warm--perfect after a day on the mountain--and our room had beautiful sunset views overlooking Crowley Lake. The location is hard to beat: it's an easy walk across the street to The Village, and all town and mountain buses stop right outside the hotel, making it incredibly convenient to get around without a car. Families will love the kids' area, especially the Pac-Man and Mario Kart games, and it's a big plus that the hotel is dog-friendly as well. Comfortable, convenient, and welcoming--we'd happily stay here again read more

Valet guys were awesome. Very helpful with recommendations and so personable. They made our stay so enjoyable!

This hotel looks great but based on service and amenities is a 3star hotel at best. It is charging at the 4.5/5 star rate but prepare to be underwhelmed. Restaurant: The only restaurant is combined with the bar and does not take bookings. We were told to arrive at 5pm if you want a table. If not, you just have to stand around with the other hungry people and wait for someone to finish. During dinner, they had karaoke and a dj with dance floor as the bar/restaurant shared the same place which wasn't great.. The dinner food is great but there isn't enough staff so be prepared to wait for ever for service and have to chase down staff to get help or your check. The manager "covered" our server's tables during her break and ignored us for the entire time. The breakfast is a tiny buffet for the whole hotel which ran out of coffee and most of the food every day we attended. There is no room service so this is your only option. Be prepared to listen to other guests complain... There is no room service, mini bar or shop in the hotel so that one restaurant is your only option or hit the village where all restaurants were packed and don't take bookings either.. The Brewery was great for dinner although we had to wait over an hour for a table. Service: We stayed 4 nights and had to ask for our room to be serviced each day. They just popped in and changed towels and nothing else. Concierge: The concierge does not reply to emails as she is too flat out so make sure to call. Valet: The valet was understaffed so after waiting forever for help, the reception manager felt sorry for us and fetched our car. The Room: We had the bunk room which was great with the kids. Definitely would recommend the room type if the above could be fixed but at the price point, its just not worth staying there. Overall, had high hopes but definitely not worth the price even with the 'discount' rates they offer. read more

The ambience of the hotel is nice but the service is beyond abismal. New Years Eve one of the hotel guests was intoxicated and when my 12 year old brother was playing with a balloon (innocently) the man's dog got scared and he told my brother to "f*ck off" while doing aggressive body motions as if he were to hit a child. the staff did NOT ask the man to leave the lobby or at least go to his room and the man tried to fight other members of our group who RESPECTFULLY stood up for the child. the staff had NO security to mitigate the situation and had no desire to ask the aggressor to leave or recognize the gravity of the situation. aside from this.... they have no housekeeping and no in-room services like dining and pretty much have no staff? nice place to look at but run by absolute idiots. read more

We were so excited to try this new hotel for President's weekend and it was the absolute worst service we have ever experienced. I don't want to ever go back there. The housekeeping would forget to clean our room almost every day, and we would have to call the front desk to remind them to clean our room. Apparently housekeeping was "too busy." We were seated one hour later than our dinner reservation time and were treated so rudely by the Food and Beverage manager, who did not know how to manage his restaurant. He needs to go. Our drinks arrived after we had finished our food. Service did not exist at this hotel, every aspect was so ridiculously bad. The coffee machine wouldn't work during breakfast time. The hotel didn't offer room service until after 5 pm. We would call valet for our car and they would forget to bring our car. Perhaps it's because it's a new hotel but it was a horrible experience. read more

We took a chance at booking the Limelight knowing it would have only been opened for 3 days before we got there, and we made the right choice. Hotel and rooms are beautiful - great room features including; hooks for jackets, lighted makeup mirror, coffee maker and fridge and lots of drawer and closet space. Shower pressure was perfect. We also enjoyed the breakfast, which was included each morning. The food in the "Living Room" was also very good and specialty cocktails were delicious. The location to slopes and The Village was perfect and we were so impressed at how knowledgeable the staff was given the recent opening. We will definitely be back and recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Mammoth. read more
