The décor is from the 70's and kind of dark, but we have a room at home like that, and for us it was just the ticket for a weekend where we were outside doing things all day, and needed a place to have dinner together and crash. Not sure I'd feel the same if Id paid high season prices.There is not a lot of space for the 10 that this will sleep, so this probably wouldn't be a great hangout for an all day large indoor group affair, but hey, most people don't bother coming to Mammoth to sit inside all day. It was well outfitted for 10, as advertised, and we enjoyed ourselves. As far as cleanliness, if you are ok with hostels and such, this place will work for you. We found ourselves washing a few dishes before using them, but that happens, you cant expect the cleaners to check every dish. Close to Black Doubt brewery too, for bonus points!
