I picked this hotel because we are tired of staying in "chain" hotels. This place is wonderfully charming and the relaxed atmosphere was greatly appreciated. The owners, Elva and John, couldn't have been nicer, we felt as if we were staying with friends. They totally made the 1 hour + drive to and from Yosemite Park worth it. It was... More

What a great experience all around for us. We stayed here with our family of 5 in one room and parents in another room. Our room had a twin bed with trundle pull-out as well as King size bed (they also provided a pak n play if needed for smaller kiddos). We enjoyed our dinner from The Pizza Factory steps... More

My husband and I were visiting Yosemite and were looking for a place to stay for a couple of days. This location was close to Yosemite and was a decent price. I had looked a many different places to stay and finally settled on this hotel. The staff was very friendly and the room was very clean. I liked the... More

We lucked out in getting a room here without a reservation because they had a cancelation. Was less expensive than some of the chain hotels we called in town, and with a lot more character. The owner checked us in and was very friendly and interested in us having a good visit. Large and nicely-decorated old-fashioned room. Breakfast was simple,... More

My first impression, which basically remained through the stay, was "tacky", "really needs to be updated", "stuffy decorating", "stuffy air", "too much stuff in the room", "messy", and "eating area dirty", The bedsheets were not at all "luxurious" and the bed was too soft for me. This place did not meet my expectations based on the website info and images.... More

We are so sorry for your disappointment with our facility. Lyn, the owner of Mariposa Hotel Inn, was suffering some health issues and a manager was hired who was unable to give our guests the treatment they deserve. Since that time my wife and I have taken the role of manager and part-owners of the inn. We have brought in... More

This cozy B&B was recommended by my niece who stressed the ghost stories. The new managing couple, John and Eva, round up the lovely rooms and nice breakfast. I brought my wife, her aunt and her friend, all from Argentina who loved the place, the view, the comfort.The room TV is way too high and the back deck can get... More

Mariposa is a great place to base yourself for a visit to Yosemite being only a little over an hours drive away.. This hotel has some great rooms and each room is decorated in 1800's style and has an individual story which Gary, the manager, will be only to pleased to pass on. Rooms are very cosy, quaint and comfortable... More

We arrived at the town of Mariposa late in the day and were recommended the hotel by the local tourist information office. The room had a double bed and plenty of space for the extra mattress that was brought in and made up into a comfortable bed for our teenage son very promptly. The room had recently been refurbished to... More

Stayed at the Mariposa Hotel Inn for three days in September 2010. Excellant staff an older hotel but the charm and the beds rewally made up for the age. Breakfast was included making the price most reasonable. We had fun with the staff and the hotel is located right on main st and you can walk to shops and resturants... More

We stayed 3 nights here as a base for exploring Yosemite. It worked well for us. Gary and his staff could not have been more helpful in accommodating the family, but airbeds on the floor of the honeymoon suite was not quite what we expected but it did the job. Breakfast is DIY on the verandah with the other guests... More
