What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Hotel Impossible visited the Alpenhof Lodge in Mammoth Lakes, California for the episode Alpenhof Lodge (S2E11), aired March 11, 2013. Episode coverage describes a family-owned ski lodge with an outdated interior, where Anthony Melchiorri worked with the family to redefine their roles and modernize operations. According to Reality TV Revisited, the Alpenhof Lodge remained open, with guest reviews it cited as favorable, in a roundup dated January 2021 covering the show's featured properties. A check of the property's website on 2026-09-09 found alpenhof-lodge.com loading successfully under the same Alpenhof Lodge name and branding described in the episode, listing rooms and rates, dining, seasonal activities, and an online booking option, at the same 6080 Minaret Road address given in 2013 filming-location records.

The page carried no copyright year, dated news post, or other year marker, so its content could not be dated more precisely than the day of this check. Google's business listing for the property separately showed an operational status at the time this record was compiled. The episode carries an 8.3 out of 10 audience rating on IMDb, one of the higher scores among the season's entries, and a Sierra Wave Media report published around the time of filming described the production's visit to Mammoth Lakes without offering a later follow-up on the lodge's status.
