Mariposa Hotels & Accommodations

CCdiner beat me to it; it looks like we stayed there at the same time. The hotel is clearly understaffed and all the problems arise from there. Everything is dumped on the shoulders of the front desk employees, who are amazing, nice, hard-working people who now had to bend backwards answering phones, dealing with walk ins, putting together breakfast bags, exchanging laundry and towels, etc. But they only can be in one place at one time. No staff at the hotel from 8 pm to 8 am. Our second night someone was trying to get into our room at 2 am confusing it with their room. Our third night there from 1:00 to 2:00 am we heard a couple, first, arguing right outside, then one calling another into the room right at our door, then around 6 am the same couple had a fight, the lady was screaming, banging on the door, smashed the window of their room and took off. Again, no staff is present at those hours. Below is updated list of amenities and services with my comments on what you actually can expect: Property amenities Free parking: YES Free High Speed Internet (WiFi): YES Pool: YES Free breakfast: doggie bags with Nature Valley granola bar, bag of chips, bag of peanuts Baggage storage: probably Yes Non-smoking hotel: - theoretically, but not enforced. People smoke right outside the rooms. 24-hour front desk - NO Dry cleaning - NO - but makes sense due to Covid rules Room features Housekeeping: - NO - but makes sense due to Covid rules Telephone: NO Wake-up service / alarm clock: NO/YES Coffee / tea maker: Not sure Flatscreen TV: YES Bath / shower: YES Complimentary toiletries: YES Hair dryer: NO Room types: Non-smoking rooms - theoretically, but not enforced. People smoke right outside the rooms. Suites: NO HOTEL STYLE Quiet: Heck NO I want to finish what looks like a bad review with a huge thank you to the hotel staff on duty, who one person per shift juggles million things, trying to keep multiple balls in the air. Hotel Management - you need to do a better job.

The Yosemite Inn was a wonderful place to stay for 4 nights. The room was very clean, spacious with lots of open floor space and very quiet. We have never had a room that had so much good lighting. There were 3 chairs, two comfortable high backs and one good roller chair for the desk. A good size mini fridge and a microwave. Entry from the outside eased loading and unloading our bags. Very good choices for breakfast. The bakery muffins were to die for. Secure, private parking (free) surrounded by the inn on 3 sides and one wall with a row of beautiful cypress trees. Staff were super friendly and very accommodating. And all of this at an economical price point.

The location is excellent, there are two big roads at the entrance, and it is convenient to go into the mountains and go to other cities. The front desk is busy, and the invoice is prepared in advance, and the check-in is given directly. The room is not bad, there is a very strange double seat shower, hair dryer is better than other homes, and a microwave oven. The breakfast restaurant is very spacious and the content is not bad.

The room was spacious and clean. The staff we met were all very courteous. We were a little surprised that they didn’t know much about Mariposa Grove, the sequoia forest in Yosemite, but they Googled it and helped with visitor information. Breakfast isn’t available onsite, but we found a nearby dinner. Coffee making facilities are included in the room. I was pleased that they have a pool, but confused to find it locked at 8.30am, when the sign on the gate says it opens at 8am. I found another sign in Reception saying it opens at 9am. Management would do well to decide on a single opening time and communicate that clearly. The pool also was overdue a clean. There is free parking onsite, but a downside of proximity to the main road is the sound of trucks passing from 5am. This place was clean and functional, and a reasonable base for exploring Yosemite, being midway between Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove.

We stayed with our 2 dogs and this property was very welcoming. I called in advance to remind the hotel that I would be bringing dogs and she went over the pet policy with me. Upon check in I was given a pet waste holder with bags and told where I could walk my dogs. There is a nearby park that was super shady to walk them. The room we had did not have carpet, but tile flooring which was great for dog hair and made me feel like it was cleaner than carpet for pets. My dogs were comfortable and slept very well.

Environment, transportation, etc. are very convenient

Stayed here for 1 night on a road trip heading to Yosemite. Rooms were clean. Bathrooms were pretty small but easy enough to deal with. Staff was helpful. We left some items there by accident and they found them, called us and offered to ship them back to us. I'd stay here again if we are ever back in the area.
