Best property to stay with family if you are visiting Yosemite and other national parks. They have a laundry facility we didn't use. Continental Breakfast included. a store opposite to in case you need some snacks and meds. Very friendly staff and clean place.

The pool and hot tub were down for scheduled maintenance. We were so looking forward to using them. Why would a hotel do scheduled maintenance during the busy summer season. A note about them being closed for scheduled maintenance should have been on the website 4 months ago when we were reserving. The towels were thin and raggy. The shower handle was falling off. I didn't feel that the property was worth the high amount we paid, but I realize that some of the high price is due to it being somewhat close to a national park.

Exceeded expectations. Stayed on second floor in back. Easy parking. Room bigger than average. Bed and pillows very soft. Felt safe. Staff friendly and helpful. Complimentary breakfast offered more than typical and spacious dining area. Provided water bottle refilling stations with cold water. Grocery store and restaurants nearby. Nice drive into Yosemite.

The rooms are perfect size and parking is so convenient. The people in the office are so nice and helpful. Every time I'm in Mariposa I stay here. It's a great hotel

We stayed for 2 nights and found the hotel clean and comfortable. The full size fridge with freezer was really useful as we were on a long road trip and had a cool box of supplies. The bed was comfy and we slept well. Nice coffee machine and range of coffee/tea provided. The breakfast was served in a separate building and although the hotel was full it wasn’t hard to find a table. Items constantly refilled and it made a change to have plates and metal cutlery to eat with instead of paper/plastic. Mariposa is a delightful small town with some shops and a number of restaurants- a great place to stay for Yosemite or Mariposa Grove.

We booked 6 months prior and arrived to find out the pool and hot tub were closed for the season. Used the laundry room and dryer broke. They had a staff member able to fix it and it broke again. She did get it again fixed right away. Allergic to smoke and had a non-smoking room but they placed the smokers area less than 10 steps outside the door. Was miserable in room. The corner of bathroom floor had hat appeared to be an unknown liquid yellow stain. Had to clean it with my foot and a Clorox wipe. I then cleaned everything with the rest of packet. The hotel was in a great location for our visit to Yosemite’s park. I would not stay at this hotel in the future.

I visited the area and stayed here Saturday - Monday with the intention of being able to work Monday morning from the hotel and had no Wi-Fi. I had to leave early. Location/Area was also not convenient and did not have hardly any food options. Would not recommend this hotel or area to anyone.

The hotel is in downtown Mariposa and is walking distance to shops and restaurants. The room was simple but had everything we needed. The daily breakfast had a good variety of options. All of the employees were friendly and helpful. Our only problem was with the internet. The router went out the day before our three-night stay and was still not fixed when we checked out, and there is very little service available in the area. We would stay here again.

Would definitely stay here again!

I made a reservation over a month in advance because the location of the hotel was what I was looking for and the Hotels.com reviews were very good. We checked in at around 6:00pm, the check in was efficient and informative and we went to our room. We found that the sink didn’t drain so they moved us to another room right away. Now the big problem….at 7pm the road right our window was blocked off and road construction work started, sawing concrete, backhoes digging up the road, constant beeping when the equipment and trucks backed up, lots of shouting back and forth between the workers, basically complete mayhem that went on until 3:00am. Then the same drill happened the next night. For the two nights we were at the hotel we had no peace and quiet from 7:00pm until 3:00am. Did we get any compensation? NO, just a “I’m sorry.” They gave a very lame excuse that the work wasn’t supposed to start for three days after we’re leaving. I’m not buying that. Please stay away from this hotel!!!

We stayed here during a trip to Yosemite—about 35 miles out, so be prepared for a bit of a drive. The surrounding area has a lot of charm. The hotel itself was fine—clean enough and comfortable, though a bit dated. Breakfast was your typical hotel spread with make-your-own waffles and sausage and biscuits. Nothing fancy, but it did the job. We slept Okay and really enjoyed exploring the town, especially the local history museum and old jail. Overall, a pleasant stay.
