We loved the area with the cute shops and even a wine tasting room down the street. The bed was comfortable but the area under the bed was full of dust and cobwebs. There was a loud compressor type noise in the area next to our room. It looks like that space is used for storage so not sure what the noise was from. And the bathroom was very small. The shower had a sloped floor that required you to stand in the very middle of the floor where you couldn’t step away from the spray to wash. Also, my 6 foot boyfriend’s head was about 6 inches above the shower head, so taller people don’t fit in this shower. Last but not least, the front door to the outside parking lot would not shut completely without kicking it shut. We would not recommend staying here.

WIll stay again!

My room was right next to shopping. It took 3 minutes to walk into a restaurant and the same to get back. It is late January and I found the room quite cold with the tile floors. There were plenty of blankets though and the option to turn up the heat. I was excited for the little coffee shop attached, but found it a little uncomfortable to load my car with patrons around. A wonderful Mocha though 5/5

What a great stay!

Absolutely loved this adorable little inn! We were in room 9, on the backside of the house where they have check-in. Don’t let the idea of it being Mariposa’s oldest hotel scare you away - it has been updated, with much of its vintage charm left intact. Perfect location for walking to the cute little shops and restaurants downtown. My only reason for doing a “4” for “condition” was that the room’s door was a little hard to close, plus lugging suitcases up/down the wet patio steps was cumbersome. I would stay at this quaint little inn again in a heartbeat.

Not that great.

Although the room was adequate, I did not like the Motel. It needs to be refurbished. It looks better on the pics on the app, than it does in person.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The room was very accommodating however the front door could use some weather strip updating. There is a large gap at the bottom and along the side allowing the cold air to enter which made it quite drafty.
