Cheap Hotels in Mammoth Lakes

The California resort town of Mammoth Lakes is a popular vacation spot year round, but in particular it overflows with skiiers who visit primarily to take advantage of the great runs on nearby Mammoth Mountain. In addition to people coming from outside the state (not to mention the country), this is also the closest Sierra Nevada ski area to Los Angeles, so it is well-liked by people living in L.A. for weekend ski trips. It may seem like a small town, but there are several cheap hotels in Mammoth.

Many people choose to stay in apartment or condominium rentals while they are skiing (or enjoying other outdoor activities, in any season), but that does not mean there are no cheap hotels in Mammoth. If you will only be making trips from the mountain ski resort and your hotel in town, you can take advantage of the tram which connects the two and leave your car parked for your whole vacation. During the summer, you can also rent a bike to get around. But if you want to explore the area further, you will need a car.

Mammoth Lakes is all about the great outdoors, no matter what the weather or the season. Yes, the area is dominated by Mammoth Mountain, and during the ski season it may seem like everyone from L.A. has descended upon this resort city, but even during the rest of the year there is plenty to do. Among the outdoor activities people enjoy during the summer are golf, hiking, mountain biking, and fishing. There are also lots of restaurants to choose from, and shops ready and waiting to take your money.
