We contacted maintenance right away, but they were unable to fix the problem. We were then switched to a different room, but that room also had a clogged toilet issue, and the ceiling lights would not turn off unless we turned off the main light, so we had to sleep without a fan. It was an awful experience. The staff was courteous and tried to help, but I expected the room to be clean and fully functional before check-in. We are disappointed with our stay and hope the hotel improves its housekeeping and room inspections so future guests don't have the same experience.

Breathtaking I…read morewent on a 3 day, 2 night backpacking trip to Ruby Lake located in the John Muir Wilderness. No permit required for day-hiking but you do need a permit to camp. The Forest Service reserves 60 percent of permits for advanced reservations and the other 40 percent are available to walk-ins 24 hours before the day of adventure. Trip Details: 3 days, 2 nights Distance from Venice, CA to Mosquito Flats Trailhead: 302 miles Money spent on gas: $128.62 Time of Year: August Weather: 80's during the day, and 30's at night Permit: no permit for day hiking but a permit is required to camp Elevation gain : 908 feet Distance to Ruby Lake from Trailhead: 2.1 miles Dogs: Dogs are allowed Water Temperature: 39 degrees Day 1: We parked in the parking lot at the beginning of the Mosquito Flats Trailhead at the end of Rock Creek Road. We started our hike around 1:00pm and arrived at Ruby lake at 3:30p. When we got to camp, we setup our tents, jumped in the water and then prepared dinner. The weather during the day was in the 80's with clear skies and a nice breeze. The temperature at night was in the high 30's low 40's with very little wind. The night was bright because of the full moon, very minimal wind noise. Day 2: Hiked to Mono Pass and hungout at summit lake before heading back to camp. Weather was also in the 80's during the day and high 30's/ low 40's at night, very little wind. Day 3: The morning before hiking out was very windy and cold in the morning, we hiked out at 9:30 am.

I kept going past Ruby Lake to a second, smaller lake. From there one has easy access to the back country. The parking was a little ugly at the trail head: the masses tend to hike to a larger lake on the valley floor.

My parents built a cabin in Old Mammoth in 1966. Now that I am retired, I spend about 50% of my…read moretime here. I have seen a lot of changes over the past 60 years...some good and some bad. The population back in the late 60s was 525 and now has grown to over 7,000. Mammoth Lakes is a beautiful mountain community with unlimited outdoor activities. In my opinion, there is too much development with construction of high end homes in areas that were once great places to hike and camp. Pine Cliff is an example which is now a high end subdivision. An increase in development comes with an increase in government and taxes. More people means more traffic and pedestrian activity. E-bikes are becoming a problem as in every other American city. All of this aside, Mammoth Lakes and the surrounding area is a great vacation spot with something for everyone. Everyone needs to at least visit the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mtns in their lifetime.

My cousin even had a close call when he accidentally slid off the trail, ran down 100 feet, and narrowly missed hitting trees. (Slipper snow) Despite the challenges, the reward at the top was well worth it. It was a beautiful, secluded lake. Some of us tried a little fishing, while the girls jumped into the freezing cold water for a swim. The water was so "pristine" that my hair felt conditioned afterward. It was magnificent, the water felt untouched and almost holy! This past summer, we hiked it again for the 4th of July, and it was so much easier because I had lost 20 pounds, haha! I'd say the hike is about 13 minutes up, around 2 miles round trip, and great for all ages. Just make sure you're in decent shape and don't have any serious health concerns. When I was 20 pounds heavier, the hike felt like a 10/10 in difficulty. Now, it's more like a 3/10, a total breeze!

The village is also a couple minutes away from Sierra Manors. Price is reasonable during our stay, but I am not too crazy about the apartment. It is definitely a pain to be dragging all your luggages to the 2nd story of the apartment complex during a snow storm and when there was 3 feet of snow covering the stairs. For an apartment that sleeps 6, there is only 1 bedroom with a king size bed in it. Upstairs attic loft have mattress, but I really hated the spiral stairs that I have to climb. The worst part is that there is only one (1) bathroom, and the hot water only last for approximately five (5) minutes. I guess this is another choice of price vs. comfort.
