Clean remodeled room. Never saw a staff member the hole time I was there. Love this little old mining town. Best and cheapest place to eat is place called the Hideout Saloon. Exit Mother Lode Lodge and go right. turn right at gas station. Small sign on the left. Down stairs. Friendly staff.

This little boutique motel was a terrific spot to stay on our way to Yosemite. The owners are on site and always working on upgrades and cleanliness. The pool was very large , deep and the perfect temperature for swimming. We would recommend a stay here to anyone. Shops and restaurants are walking distance away

Sweet little place

Very clean affordable and sweet motel. Room looked recently refurbished and in great condition. The mini fridge and microwave were a big plus. Right in the center of town walkable for stores and restaurants also groceries. Managers super friendly. Family owned vibe. Pool needs painting but still was nice to use.

Great location! Mariposa is a wonderful city with great food and awesome hospitality. About an hour drive to Yosemite is the only negative thing. It’s an average hotel, window A/C is outdated for hotels and the hotel room gets warm in May. I recommend it if trying to save a few dollars.

I had to check myself in so no one could recommend a place to eat. I had not used a lock box to get key before and had a little problem opening it in the dark. The facility was nice.

A little too far from our destination. The drive in was beautiful but…with kids it’s hard. Also, no breakfast offered. It’s expensive! We need better toiletries and breakfast… room was super hot when we got there.

It was in a cute little area of town. We got there after the office closed and left before they opened up again, so there was no interaction with staff. They left the key for us in an envelope near the front door. No ice machine, no food, no vending machines.

You have to leave your trash and used towels outside your door but they leave you with whatever you request on the check list they provide.
