Resort The Village Lodge (Mammoth Lakes, USA)

With the resort built right above everything The Village has to offer, guests can easily walk down to the many shops and restaurants and gain access to the underground garage.

Guests found the rooms to be spacious and especially liked the one to three-bedroom condos, which included a separate dining and living area. The rooms come with all the luxury amenities you can hope for such as a balcony overlooking the picturesque area, a fully-stocked kitchen and Wi-Fi.

Guests noted that the resort not only looked like right out of a Christmas movie during the winter season with snow, lights and beautiful decorations, but it was also conveniently located near the gondolas for a great day of skiing.

Guests reported that the resort was next to several bars and restaurants, which means that you can hear the music and people until late at night or even early morning on the weekends. They stated that it was therefore impossible to sleep with your windows open, and some even noted that they could still hear the noise with the windows closed. Another concern is the fact that there is a taxi stand at the very front of the property, so guests advised asking for a room toward the back to avoid hearing them arriving and departing.

Guests reported that there was a standing air-conditioner in the living area, but only ceiling fans in the bedrooms, which are not very effective at cooling the rooms during the hot summer months.

The check-in process is efficient, but guests noted that some of the staff weren't friendly, and requests for additional fans, a functioning coffee maker or TV weren't followed up on.
