Top Mariposa Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Yosemite Way Station Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed with family with kids for one night. Staffs were so helpful. Breakfast was decent and property is close to national park."

River Rock Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location near Yosemite - convenient parking to rooms. Had a little trouble finding our room as it was on the backside of the building. Cafe with breakfast offerings was not open as scheduled so that was a bit of a bummer. Room was large and had great coffee maker in room - bathroom had good water pressure in the shower. Beds were comfortable and rooms were quiet and offered a good night's sleep."

5th Street Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. The staff were not on site that day, but very helpful over the phone. Large 4 post bed and a jetted tub in our room. Lots of privacy. Very close to everything in this cute, walkable, gold rush town. Nearby a park, several restaurants, gift shops, and historic sites. Although the route to Yosemite was further than you might expect, it went by quickly because it was such a scenic drive."

Mountain Retreat on 5 acres with nature views, deck, hot tub, EV charging

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing remote location! The house and outdoor space is beautiful. The host communicates extremely well and we had no issues. We stayed three nights while visiting Yosemite. Easy access to both Arch Rock entrance and the South entrance. I would highly recommend!!"

End of the road ....

10/10 Excellent

"The property nicely reflects the rural charm of the area. Full disclosure: it is literally at the end of the road which added privacy.The host can be reached in multiple ways although we didn’t have to because it was a hassle-free vacation. We used the property as base for our trips to Yosemite Valley and Half Dome/Glacier Point. Kitchen allowed us to cook breakfast and dinner before and after our day trips. Front porch is a good spot to have morning coffee. Or, the swing in the backyard.Our dog had a huge playground.We were there in July and I can only imagine how even more beautiful it is in other seasons."
