What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 1,364 guest reviews
The Empeiria High Sierra Hotel earns consistently strong marks for its central Mammoth Lakes location, spotless rooms, and notably attentive staff who regularly go out of their way for guests. Recurring drawbacks include firm mattresses, thin walls that let in corridor and plumbing noise, and the absence of on-site breakfast or food options — minor friction points that prevent an otherwise well-regarded property from feeling truly complete. A handful of guests also flagged the price-to-value ratio as a slight concern, though most considered it reasonable for the area.
