Top California State Mining and Mineral Museum Hotel Reviews

Yosemite View Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We loved having a kitchenette to cook and relaxing at the pool and hot tub at the end of the day after a long hike was great. The restaurants on site have excellent food which was a nice surprise. The pizza is awesome!"

5th Street Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet, charming Inn. Great bed, spacious room."

Mariposa Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Mariposa Lodge was such a unique little stop on our two-week road trip honeymoon. It almost felt like a couple of rows of little efficiency apartments rather than a traditional hotel, which gave it a lot of character. The lady who checked us in had the best personality! She was incredibly friendly and helpful, giving us recommendations on where to eat as well as directions and information about the area. She made a great first impression and really added to the experience. The buildings are older, but they feel well loved and cared for rather than simply run-down. Our room was comfortable, and the bed was comfortable enough after a long day of traveling. I also loved one thoughtful little touch in the bathroom. There was a note addressing possible outside noise along with a small package of disposable earplugs. We didn't end up needing them, but I thought it was a really nice touch and showed that they were thinking about their guests. My only real complaint was the size of the bathroom—particularly the shower. The bathroom itself is tiny, but you don't really need much room to use the toilet or wash your hands, so that wasn't a big deal. The shower, however, had to be about 3x3 feet, if that. The shower head was mounted high and didn't adjust, so at 5'4", I was basically getting sprayed directly in the face with nowhere to escape! 😂 On the plus side, the water pressure was great! Overall, Mariposa Lodge is an older property with a lot of charm, a great staff, and some"

Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"It feels like a hostel that has a lot amenities even with a guest kitchen from where you can cook and enjoy yourself. Apart from that, the cafe is also splendid that serves good dishes."

River Rock Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect property, attentive staff and such a comfortable bed and setting! Definitely recommend and can’t wait to revisit."

Nature's Inn B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderfully unique property. Sherilee was a super host, very friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of lovely touches like welcome snacks, film library and Harry Potter the resident cat! Nature’s Inn was well located about 25 mins drive to Yosemite entrance and 15 mins between Mariposa and Oakhurst with lots of eating options. Not forgetting the hot tub and lovely breakfasts. Highly recommend!"

Riverside Manna, "Gateway to Beautiful Yosemite Valley" Modern 3bd/2 ba cottage

8/10 Good

"The house and the location was good. The cleaners were still there at our checkin time and remained for an hour after. That was tough after driving for 10 hours. The remotes needed batteries before we coiuld watch the TV . Other than that it was a good stay."
