Great place to stay in the area. Rooms where clean. Has pool. No breakfast option though. The area itself is good access to the Yosemite vally but Oakhurst has better access to mariposa grove big trees and the vally. Mariposa town has an older vibe and good bars

Great small town hotel

Staff was low so breakfast wasn’t available but coffee, teas, and juices were all day. Staff was kind and very helpful. Area was charming around hotel and great place to come back to after Yosemite. Hotel is in the middle of some maintenance projects but overall a quaint and quiet place to stay. Water pressure was amazing!

Small hotel in Mariposa. 45 minutes from south exit of Yosemite. Basic but perfect after a long day. Pool was refreshing. Restaurants were packed with long waits on the weekend. Walls were quite thin so it could be noisy. Free plentiful parking and easy walking distance to everything
