    This was my first time staying at this hotel, and I absolutely loved it. The location is fantastic. Just a short walk from Mammoth Village, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay. One of the standout amenities was the complimentary shuttle service, which provided transportation to and from the airport as well as any area of the Mammoth ski resort we wanted to access. They even welcomed us with a bottle of wine, which was a thoughtful touch. The hotel is brand new, and the design is beautiful, modern, and aesthetically pleasing. The breakfast exceeded my expectations, and the gym was much larger and better equipped than I anticipated. After a long day of snowboarding, I especially appreciated the hot tub, pool, and the body care products available for guests to use. The only minor downside was the walk required to access some of the amenities, but it was a small inconvenience compared to an otherwise wonderful experience. I would happily stay here again on my next trip to Mammoth.

    Thermostat stopped working, room temperature got below 58°, no heat, kids had to sleep in winter gear and no power to half the room.

    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.

    First of all, wow it's a gorgeous and well designed property! Every detail was anticipated such as enough towel racks/hangers (most hotels miss this!) the pool and hot tub area is fantastic and beautiful and the hot tub is heated to perfection. Only weird thing is you have to go a weird way to access the pool, but once there it's beautiful! The gym is state of the art! The valet isn't my favorite as I prefer to park myself but the young man Gavin at the valet was very kind and patient while we got our stuff and even offered suggestions on where we can go nearby. It's right next to the ski Lyft and they offer ski storage. We came during summer so we enjoyed the pool. Restaurant is a bit pricey with most drinks around $19 each.. but that's to be expected in higher end hotels. OH! check in was a breeze and the front desk so helpful!! BRAVO

    Very nice new hotel in the Mammoth Village area. Rooms are spacious and clean. Staff is friendly and welcoming. A good Breakfast buffet is included. Hotel has a large modern social space near the lobby.

    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.

    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

Coffee makers in the rooms are terrible and leak everywhere. Luckily they have coffee near the front desk. 3 stars Food: Due to staffing shortages they sometimes have to cancel the continental breakfast. be sure to bring your own or be ready to go out to eat. Comfort There is no central heating with thermostat so you have to use the wall unit. I would recommend turning that on immediately upon arriving in the room because it takes a while to heat up. 3 stars. They do have a Jacuzzi on the bottom floor and it is quite large. There's a noisy fan blowing so consider bringing some noise canceling headphones if you're going to go into that water. Swimwear might be sensible as well other than that I had a smooth check-in and they got all my particulars exactly right. 5 stars. comfort: bring earplugs because the doors in the hallways are heavy and loud. they're constantly slamming every time somebody comes and goes. The bathrooms are standing showers (no tubs). I always wish there was a handheld wand/hose instead of the spigot that just rains on you. Maybe consider bringing one of those handhelds too?

The location is excellent -- less than a 5-minute walk to the gondola. They also offer ski valet right in the lobby, which makes the walk even shorter. Huge plus: boot dryers. Check-in was super easy, and we upgraded our room to one of their "condos." Just to set expectations: this isn't a full condo. It's essentially a hotel room with a small living area and a Murphy bed. Still comfortable and totally fine for what we needed. The best part of this hotel is that it's dog-friendly -- and truly dog-friendly. Any size dog, big or small, and there were dogs everywhere (including ours). There's a forested area behind the hotel that's perfect for letting your pup play in the snow. One downside: some guests don't pick up after their dogs, so there was dog poop around even though the hotel provides bag dispensers. Maybe adding more (or enforcing cleanup) would help. The price is good, the hotel is clean, but it is old -- very old -- and definitely showing its age. The hallway floors are uneven, the elevator makes some questionable noises, and nothing about it feels modern. That said, after skiing all day, the four hot tubs and heated pool are amazing and very much appreciated. I stay here for convenience, not luxury. The beds are comfortable, towels are clean, and that's honestly all we need. Plus, it's close to The Yodler, our favorite restaurant.
