這次決定要去毛象山玩，是因為在TravelZoo上看到有旅館的特價活動，我們在Mammoth Mountain Inn訂了兩晚，一晚才$69，這旅館的位置就在上毛象山的纜車正對面，一到了大門口，我就看到他們二樓插著台灣國旗呢！房間不大，但是簡單舒適，這是個沒有冷氣的旅館，但是山上的氣候真的完全不需要冷氣，我們很喜歡這家簡單舒服的旅館，唯一的缺點就是他們的餐廳實在是非常昂貴，怪不得餐廳都沒有客人啊！

About a month ago, I saw the promotional price of $69 per night at Mammoth Mountain Inn on TravelZoo.  The special price even included weekends.  I've been to Mammoth once in the winter time, but didn't really now what to expect in the summer.  After talking to Dr. Park, he told me he used to go camping and hiking all the time with his family in the summer.  The hotel price was great.  So we've decided to take a trip to Mammoth before my school started. 



The inn is located about 5 miles up on the hill from the main road.  It has a few different buildings for the regular room as well as condo style lodging all around the back.




Lots of flags from different countries are displayed on the second floor.  I was so excited to see a Taiwan flag.  No Taiwan flag at the Olympic, but here at Mammoth Mountain Inn, no problem!



We love the location of the hotel.  It's right across from Mammoth Mountain and the activity center.  This is where people take the gondola to go up to the mountain (and ski lift in the winter).  So we can wake up in the morning and walk over to take the gondola.  By the way, the hotel offers their guest a buy 1 get 1 free discount ticket for the gondola ride.



Walking into the hotel, the first thing we saw was a lounge area.  There are lots of confortable looking counches and chairs for people to sit.  They even have chess set and Jenga on the table for guests to play.  We saw a few kids playing chess at night time.  They also have a game room with Xbox and PS2 for kids tokill time.



Atnight time, the log in the fireplace was lit.  It was warm and cozy. 



This was our room.  Room 203 in the main lodge.  There was no elevator in this two story building.  When we were about to go up the stair, an employee came over and helped us to carry the luggage to the room.  When we handed him the tip, he smiled and said it wasn't necessary.  The room has no AC, but the temperture up on the mountain was nice and cool.  It was even kinda cold at night time. 



Flat screen TV on the wall with DVD player.  Free coffee and tea.  The bathroom was your standard bathroom, but no tub, just shower.  It wasn't a big room, but very comfortable and cozy.



Of course we brought our own wine.  A little Zinfandel, pop in a DVD we brought before bed time, feel like http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.

The hotel has a little shop and a full service restaurant.  The restaurant's menu was short and pricy.  Their breakfast entrees average about $15.  Dinner was about $30.  They also have breakfast buffet for $18/person.  A bit too pricy in our opinion.  No wonder it was empty most of the time.

There are also 3 indoor jacuzzi and 1 outdoor jacuzzi and pool that we didn't have a chance to use.  When we were walking around our hotel when we first got there, I got really dizzy walking up the stair to the jacuzzi.  Dr. Park told me it was because I wasn't used to the thin air up on the mountain.  The inn is located about 9,000 ft up.  I had trouble breathing every time we walk up stairs.  At night time I kept on waking up and my heart was beating so fast.  I think it takes a few days for people to get use to the high altitude.

We really enjoy staying at this hotel.  Next time we come back, I'll definately stay here again.
