Our stay at Juniper Resort in Mammoth was overall fine, but the front desk experience was disappointing. The first staff member spent a very long time with the guest ahead of us, which made check-in feel unnecessarily slow. Then, the second lady who helped us came from the back and immediately said, “sorry if I smell like garlic, I was eating”—unfortunately, she really did smell strongly of garlic, and it was quite unpleasant. Her attitude also felt a bit unprofessional; she kept insisting we don’t smoke or we’d be fined, which was unnecessary since we don’t smoke.
The unit itself was okay but very dated. The shower soap dispenser was empty, and there were no pillows for the pullout couch. On the bright side, the maintenance staff were fantastic—10/10! They came quickly and kindly helped when our little one plugged the toilet.
Overall, it was an okay stay, but the resort could really benefit from more professional front desk staff and better room upkeep.
