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.

The perfect place to stay for Yosemite if you want to drive back to a convenient area at night. I did not see one staff member while there - it was self serve check-in and nothing open on site during the Sunday/Monday I was there, which I thought was very odd. But there is plenty around the eat etc. The perfect place to stay for Mariposa activities. Would stay again.

Cute throw back hotel.

This is a super cute throw-back hotel. In general, it was very nice for a one night stay. The only things that were problematic for me were: the bed was not comfortable for me; and the toilet was so short that it hurt my knee getting on and off...think "deep squats". I wanted to love this place, but the bed would probably stop me from staying there again. The main street being torn up with construction, made it difficult to to get to the hotel, but that was not the fault of the hotel.
