Top Rainbow Falls Hotel Reviews

Juniper Springs Resort

Juniper Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We always stay at Juniper Springs Resort whenever we visit Mammoth Lakes. We really love this hotel, especially the well-equipped rooms with fully functional kitchens, and the front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. However, during our last two stays, the front desk assigned us a room type that differed from what we had originally booked. Because we drive a long way to get here each time, having to go back to the front desk to change rooms wasted a lot of our time when we were already tired. Despite this issue, we still love the hotel and will continue to choose it for our future trips to Mammoth Lakes. We just hope this room assignment process can be improved!"
