"We were looking for a place to stay for a trip to Yosemite. My number 1 priority in a hotel is cleanliness. The other hotels in the area didn’t get great ratings on this. 5th Street Inn had very high ratings on cleanliness so we booked a weekend with them and we were not disappointed!! It was immaculately clean, beds were super comfortable and we had a great stay! The town of Mariposa is a delightful small town with anything you could possibly need and 5th Street Inn is right in the heart of...

Best Western Plus Yosemite Way Station Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Close to Yosemite National Park. Room was large clean. Staff was helpful. Fantastic breakfast. Walkable downtown area close to hotel with shopping and food options"

Inn the Woods Suites

10/10 Excellent

"A well appointed beautiful property. I would definitely stay here again."

Mariposa Lodge

8/10 Good

"Clean room, no issues but the spa (hot tub) was not operational."

Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Love the overall resort environment. Well decorated restaurant."

Cedar Lodge

8/10 Good

"Room was nice,they had a bar/grill on property that served burgers and such. Food was good although expensive. Several swimming pools. Had a gift shop where you could buy essentials. The only real negative was their WiFi, it sucked."

River Rock Inn

8/10 Good

"This was a good value motel in a cute little town with many fun options for food! The check in process was easy. We had selected to pay at the property when we booked so check-out was confusing as there were no workers there and no one responded to messages. Walking through the room without socks left our feet a little dirty, otherwise the room was clean. The only thing we were highly unsatisfied with was the shower. The hot and cold knobs were opposite of normal sides and it was very touchy and confusing to figure out. The hot water only lasted halfway through washing my hair and it was so tiny you could hardly move with no shelving to put your bottles. Besides that, it was a good stay!"

Wildhaven Yosemite Glamping

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Wildhaven Yosemite. The service was amazing, and everything was very clean and well maintained. I was especially impressed with how clean the bathhouse was. Such a great experience—we would definitely stay here again."

Nature's Inn B&B

10/10 Excellent

"This was a super cute property with plenty of space and great amenities. Will definitely come back in the future. Kathy was the best hostess. She made us feel welcome and made us the most delicious farm fresh breakfast with many ingredients she grows in her garden. We left before breakfast on our last day and she graciously packed us a breakfast to go. We highly recommend ❤️"
