Convict Lake is a wonderful place to enjoy some time out from the bustle of everyday life. See if any water activities are available here, or just soak up the serene ambiance.

Convict Lake is an interesting place to begin exploring Mammoth Lakes. This body of water is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Save time for other sights like McGee Creek, Hot Creek Geological Area, and Hot Creek Fish Hatchery to get a complete picture of what's on offer in the area.

Rude guests throwing parties both nights in the outdoor area made for sleeping difficulties. Check-in was easy and the receptionist was very helpful.

8.8/10 Excellent! (410 reviews)
Great location. No signage to tell you where check in was as parking lots were mostly blocked. Rented room which slept 6 for myself and family. Arrives to find towels for 3 and glasses for 2. Called front desk and was met with 2 lovely housekeeping staff and 8 sets of towels and 3 paper cups. Room was updated with mini splits in each room. Super helpful for 3 couples. Kitchen area was mostly clean but could stand a once over prior to cooking anything. Toaster was super old but sufficient. Chip at the wine bar was awesome and a welcome addition to the family:) we will for sure stay again, property just needs to be dialed in a bit.
