we're staying at the sierra nevada
resort and spa
in mammoth lakes and um yeah at first we
were sure about staying here because
there was really mixed reviews
some really hated it staying here yeah
and it was reviews like the water was
cold
there was no heater or ac or the service
sucked
so it was it wasn't just like it was a
it wasn't reviews like oh i didn't like
it they're
pretty bad reviews so yeah but our
options were limited because one we have
pets with us
our dogs and two we were booking pretty
last minute we
booked just a week before we just
decided like you know what let's just go
to mammoth lakes
um so yeah all the other hotels that we
wanted to stay at
or airbnbs they were all booked yeah um
so then
i looked into the sierra nevada um
resort and spa a little bit more
and i looked at other reviews like on
because i think candy wrote done chip
advice
on tripadvisor yeah i looked on
booking.com the reviews weren't as bad i
think the worst review that i saw on
there was that the pillow sucked so i
was like well i could handle pillows
so uh we're like you know what let's
just book it let's just go
and see what it's like and you know what
we actually really like it it's not bad
at all
no well i will say the the room that we
are in
is recently uh remodeled
so they said all the deluxe rooms not
the bedroom but the bathrooms have all
been
updated and remodeled so i definitely
can see that the bathroom is gorgeous
it does look brand new yeah the bedroom
actually doesn't look
bad i feel like the photos online don't
do it justice
yeah it looks better yeah and i actually
like the decor that they did because
they call it
a rustic luxury and it really is like
that
you kind of do feel like that you're
like yeah it is rustic and they kind of
have like this vintage vibe too with
like these old school posters from
before
so i kind of like what they did there
you know they didn't cover it up with
all these modern things and be like now
we're like all modern
they still wanted to keep like the
rustic um you know feel to it
and wanted to keep like the spa resort
kind of thing going
yeah so i think they did a great job
with the bathroom doing that but overall
i think
you know the remodel is great the only
thing i didn't really like is the
their ac or ac heater unit it's it
doesn't work
as well as i would like it to um we were
having trouble sleeping last night like
with
the temperature not really adjusting the
way we wanted it to it gets hot and cold
hot and cold yeah so
we were waking up because it was hot but
then it would get cold later on
so yeah it's not one of those like new
install it's like one of those
wall units that are kind of old school
so that's probably the only thing they
didn't really upgrade i would think
but i mean still it's nice to have
better not to have one of these things
so anyway yeah so i just want to give
you a little tour of this room
and show you you know what they upgraded
and what's kind of
what they left as is and just to show
you you know like
it's really kind of oh it's pretty good
here yeah i mean
more pros and cons but you know we
started noticing little things because
we've been here for one night now
so we'll kind of like you know show you
around and let you know what we thought
yeah so over here we have two queen beds
and i actually slept you know besides
the ac
i actually slept really well on the bed
the bed is actually a lot more
comfortable than i thought it would be
because again you know i'm thinking like
about the reviews like oh it's probably
an uncomfortable bed but
it's actually really pretty comfy um the
pillows
is a little weird because they have all
different
uh textures to this one this is super
soft
this is this is still soft too but not
as soft as that one
and this was probably the most firm out
of all three so i just used this one
uh it didn't bother me too much yeah i
would probably prefer a different pillow
but this was fine for me
i just thought it was interesting that
they had three different kinds of
pillows on the bed
um what else okay so
yeah over here they have an alarm clock
and
uh a lamp there's only let's see
there's three lamps in here or three
different
lightings lighting fixtures in here and
that's it
so it's kind of dark in here um and
another thing that they didn't have much
of was outlets
so there's no outlets by the beds um
no outlets across over the beds except
there was one
um over here and
i'll get to that in a second but yeah
most of the outlets were in the bathroom
one of the things i really liked
that we mentioned earlier was their
vintage vibe so we like that they added
these
metal um art structures in here so this
is like route 66 with like
some vintage you know vibes going on and
then back over here where the
working desk is
and so they have you know this old
school poster where i
i'm guessing they used to be called the
sierra nevada lodge
and you know they have like this woman
from the 60s or 70s skiing
and yeah i mean i just really like these
cool little posters that they have
um working desk here and
i did bring like two of my laptops
because uh
just in case i had to work this weekend
it's been really busy
and then over here's the dresser
and a little tv ice bucket
and then inside they have a fridge and
actually a microwave too so
if you have things you want to heat up
you can do it in the microwave and then
the fridge
it's a little fridge and we brought lots
of water with us
because they advise everybody drink lots
of water up here because the elevation
is pretty high
not only for yourself but for your dogs
too
and then three drawers where we store
all our dog stuff
and um other things and then
yeah so here is one other cool
like metal um art piece that they have
and then
this cool cube looking thing or not if
it's a dice
so there's two outlets right here candy
uses a combination of this and this to
store her luggage on top
to get things out so yeah uh that's
about it for this room
uh it's like an average hotel sized room
it's not too big
it's not too small um yeah i wish there
was like a little bit more room for the
dogs but
it works they also have free wi-fi and
it works pretty decent um it's a little
bit slow to upload if you're uploading
things to like
instagram or whatever like streaming is
not so great but if you're just checking
your emails and stuff like that it works
perfectly fine so
as long as i get some email i mean some
uh
reception i'm happy with that all right
so let me show you the bathroom
before we head to the bathroom i know so
we're gonna go there there's a nice
mirror here
i always like when there's a mirror
where you can check out your outfit and
not just your face
and this coco zom really cool because we
didn't know what it was at first but it
was like that when we walked in
so these always come in handy
to hang up on all our little things
instead of just throwing it on the
counter
so or the dresser so this is the updated
bathroom
and i really like how they you know
mixed in
the old with the new and um
kind of has like this interesting rustic
vibe to it the sink is
sink reminds me of a spa i see a lot of
spas have sinks like this so
maybe that's what they're doing they're
trying to like we haven't been to the
spa here i don't think we're gonna go
um it's probably a great to stay here if
you're skiing in the winter because i
know i go in the spas after a long day
of like skiing or something it's really
great for them
you're relaxing your muscles so i'm kind
of curious if this is like in their spot
too
because their toiletries are actually
really really good of all the hotels
we've been to this year
i want to say these are the best
toiletries we've had and not just like
the the quality but like just the design
of it is really nice so they did a
really awesome job with
the toiletries so another thing we've
noticed too recently a lot of hotels are
also limiting the amount of toiletries
they're giving and then they're just
like
each but even when we go to like four or
five star hotels they only get shampoo
conditioner and lotion and anything else
we've had to ask
and call you know this certainly is it
called service
housekeeping we have to call
housekeeping by here they give you
everything they still give you
you know the grooming kit which usually
has like the q-tips the cotton balls a
nail filer
they give you the shower cap they also
give you a makeup remover wipe
so that's nice i like having those some
hotels do it some don't
i love these mirrors you can
it's kind of light you know like
magnifies
actually these are kind of dangerous for
me because last night i was sitting here
like plucking and i'm like okay i'm
gonna stop
so anyways because there is like
literally one outlet
on the floor over next to the tv in the
room
we have to charge our phones and
everything here which is kind of a pain
because i like to have my phone right
next to me when i go to bed so
my phone's charging here and then
crystal wants to charge hers she does it
here and then we use you know this is
the um actually the
straightener and back here is the closet
so there's no closet in there
it's actually in the bathroom it's
pretty spacious
we don't literally have a lot of stuff
so we didn't really use it but
that's where the safe is there's a blow
dryer
and that's about it um they don't have a
coffee station but we don't know if
that's because of due to the pandemic
because i know a lot of hotels are
removing
um they're moving little items like that
like coffee stations from the rooms just
to admit you know germs so
it could have been here before i have no
idea but
in the end me and crystal really don't
care to have coffee in the room there's
plenty of coffee shops around here
walking distance but i just go outside
and walk with your dog anyways
the shower is really nice standing
shower there is no bathtub
i love like these clear doors shower and
i like how they have something there
where you can you know put your socks i
hate it and put all your stuff on the
floor
it's just such a drug to like have to
bend down and get it all the time
the water pressure is very very i want
to say weak
in my opinion but that could be because
they're conserving water because i know
some hotels do that they
lower the pressure to help conserve
water so i feel like someone that likes
really hard pressure like me
um you're not gonna get that here or at
least not in this room so that was our
room tour
of this uh deluxe uh two queen bed
room i will add this all we're here in
the summer um so our experience is
probably going to be different
compared to someone who comes here in
the winter for skiing or snowboarding
so i didn't notice um when you do come
in
they do have uh lockers so you can store
your you know your ski gear or your
snowboard you're one of your snow gear
so that's really convenient i know
that's something that's convenient for
people who are into winter sports so
um the parking lot was pretty plentiful
we haven't had any
issues with that and another great thing
too is that they have a lot
of uh restaurants and grocery stores
around here
like literally the grocery store is
right across the street a walking
distance walking distance
and the restaurant is right next door
and
there's like a i think it was called
like mammoth lakes shopping mall area so
it's like they can be like small or
something
yeah so we have this little plaza of
little shops there's rite aid we also
uh did a five minute walk to this
awesome breakfast place called
the warming hut which has excellent
pancakes so if you're into pancakes get
some pancakes there so yeah lots of
stuff to walk around too here too all
right well i think that's about
it so if you like this video please give
