What guests think

At The Monarch Inn in Mariposa, travellers praise the friendly staff, walkable location for Yosemite day trips, and practical perks like a quiet pool and easy parking, while several note thin walls, loud AC, and occasional maintenance issues.

Rooms are large for the price and simple, though several mention missing closet space, very firm beds, and TV problems. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many calling rooms clean, while others report stained carpets, worn furnishings, or housekeeping gaps during busy periods. Breakfast is inconsistent—some report a basic continental spread, others say it was unavailable or not as advertised—and the small area can get crowded. Overall, it works well as a simple stopover for Yosemite day trips.

Small hotel in Mariposa. 45 minutes from south exit of Yosemite. Basic but perfect after a long day. Pool was refreshing. Restaurants were packed with long waits on the weekend. Walls were quite thin so it could be noisy. Free plentiful parking and easy walking distance to everything

The young lady that checked us in was very nice. She even moved us to a different room because the tv wasn’t working right. The room was ok, bed not so great, but shower was fantastic. Walls are very thin, doors slam and people above the first night sounded like a circus! One door to parking lot was not secure, and light hanging from the fixture there. Pretty close to Yosemite which is why we booked there. Definitely needs some maintenance.

Hotel is in the middle of some maintenance projects but overall a quaint and quiet place to stay. Water pressure was amazing!

The hotel itself was very comfortable and clean. The bed was comfortable. A little dated but we kinda like that charm. The pool was clean. Con: All the dinning options in the area were obnoxiously expensive. Next time we will be eating noodle cups in the room lol. But I’d totally stay here again.

I have pictures and video. The TV didn’t work. It had picture but no sound they brought up a new TV had no picture no sound that was the only extra TV they had when we went to shut the curtains when we got there they were all ripped and falling off the rails there was holes in the sheets holes in the bedding. The carpets were stained. The bed felt like they had crumbs in them. I had to remake the bed first night we slept on top of everything second night. I asked for fresh sheets.

I have never written any comments before on hotel or restaurants but this was due! Carpet was stained, bathroom had been redone, which was best part, not enough outlets, only one channel on TV worked staff came up and checked out and said oh we have had trouble with that, no fix. The ironing board was hung on wall behind window curtain, no closet or anywhere to hang anything and no hangars. Extremely Overpriced!!!! Site shows fruit and danish, and one review said free breakfast but never saw any food so they may have been confused about hotels when they wrote review. Nice little town and friendly people, restaurants reasonable and good food, just stay somewhere else! Very disappointed!

The room was dirty, and had some type of smell. The bed wasn’t well made, I really didn’t have a good sleep thinking that there were bed bugs thankfully they weren’t but that’s the impression I got from the room we stayed in. I saw another review that pointed out the same and to not look under the bed which I didn’t because this was the only place we could stay in so I rather not see what was under my bed. :/ Didn’t have breakfast but it seemed really poor as well. Would recommend as a last resort.

Hotel was ok BUT there is no where to hang clothes - no closet/wardrobe and no hooks. Bed was just OK, we needed to leave the air con on as it was very hot and it is very noisy but nowhere as noisy as the plumbing in the room next door - it sounded like a jet engine every time they flushed the toilet or had a shower.
