Comfortable, clean property, great location.

Normal hotel, you need to pay internet service $10 per night, not so good at that point, you better stay at Mariposa.

No microwave and $10 per day for wifi disappointed.

clean, safe and near the national park that I visited

just for 1 night stay

Parking lot was hard to use at one corner opposite to Room 211 I found an old room card key left in my room No. 211. It was still usable to open my room door two days after I checked in and when I was ready to check out. It is terrible that the hotel allowed a card key left from the previous customer still usable two days beyond the effective date and time. Anyone can reuse the key any time to open the room is an unthinkable problem!!!

This was a perfect spot to stay in while visiting Yosemite if you don’t want to pay to stay in the park. We had a kitchenette and were able to make dinner. There is a beautiful river with gazebos and grilling stations across the road. To get into the park is about 30 minutes

Good place !!!

Limited Dining, no cellphone coverage

Staff was helpful

Close to Yosemite, property was well lite at night.

Convenient to the park. Friendly and helpful staff.

I like the river across the street was nice, we'd hanging out there when we had downtime. The food is very limited to bar food. The AC didnt work at all. They provide 2 pillows per bed. I asked for 4 extra pilllows and they will only give you 2.

The price was exorbitant for the facility. There was no breakfast, no free internet, the water pressure in the sink was almost non-existent, the rugs were dirty, the air conditioning filter had not been cleaned and smelled bad. There was no housekeeping during the stay. I would never stay here again & never recommend this property.

In its day it would have been a very nice place, but sadly it is out dated.

Room was clean. Bathroom was good. Fridge was ok. Their gift shop is decent, had frozen food but the room didn’t have a microwave. Mgmt should seriously add a microwave to every room ! Also, there is Merced river on the other side of the road with a nice sidewalk that leads to the shore. So, the river flowing down, with the mountain in the background.. the view is spectacular!
