Great place to stay in the area. Rooms where clean. Has pool. No breakfast option though. The area itself is good access to the Yosemite vally but Oakhurst has better access to mariposa grove big trees and the vally. Mariposa town has an older vibe and good bars

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

This was an adequate place to stay for one night. They advertised a free breakfast, yet they do not offer a free breakfast. The beds were very firm and the pillow was very thin.
