Clean, spacious Mariposa motel with great value and easy access to Yosemite

A lovely, clean motel in the center of Mariposa. We didn’t meet the staff in person due to our late check‑in, but they were incredibly kind and helpful — they sent us all the important information in advance, and our key was waiting for us, prepared and ready. The room was spacious enough even for five people and very clean. It’s a great starting point for a Yosemite trip, with free parking and very good value for the price.

It was a very good location to go to Yosemite park from there and it's great that it's in the town centre of Mariposa to still do something in the evening.

Very lovely place to stay

Clean, spacious, and well-equipped apartment. The beds are comfortable, and we slept very well at night — it was quiet, and nothing disturbed our sleep. We arrived with a large vehicle, and the host very thoughtfully assigned the largest parking space to the largest apartment, so parking in the inner courtyard was easy.

Fabulous!

The welcome envelope package was a really nice touch. We arrived late so we could not meet the host(s). The Halloween decoration was fun. In general the whole place and the town is a beauty. We loved it very much.

Location was good, comfortable beds. Everything else was just okay. I didn’t see or hear from the staff at all during my stay of 4 nights and they mentioned that if I needed new towels or bedding I needed to put it in a white basket and leave it out the front of the room… however I didn’t have a basket

Simple and affordable, with a good price-quality ratio.

Self-check-in was simple and well organized; also, the location is perfect for day visits to Yosemite

A good place to stop off. However, it is quite far away from Yosemite National Park.

The accommodation is mid-range in terms of price and quality by American standards. It was clean and adequately furnished for a short stay in the region. Parking was well organized and free of charge. The staff was unable to resolve the issue of a broken coffee machine. Overall, a favorable impression.
