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.

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 It’s an average hotel, window A/C is outdated for hotels and the hotel room gets warm in May.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.

A simple, clean lodge perfect for a pit stop before heading into Yosemite! We checked in around 11pm, and an envelope with our name on it (along with a nice little hand-drawn picture!) that included our room information. Nobody was stationed at the office but 24/7 phone service was available and the nice lady gave us all the info we needed. Doors are unlocked, windows are open and keys are found within the room after we enter. I’m assuming this is a pretty safe town that they are able to do that. The room is very clean and my favorite part is that the pillows are not uncomfortably puffy/stuffy like many other hotels, so I slept really well! Love the atmosphere of the space; we kept our windows open for a while to let the amazing oak aroma in the air come into our room before we closed for the night.

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

Mariposa Mother Lode Comment
Older motel in the heart of Mariposa, which is excellent. Had TV problems when arriving and the pillows provided were less than satisfactory. They were very thin & cheap, leaving a kink in my neck. I had to put a blanket under the pillows just to be able to sleep. Could definitely invest in better quality pillows. Overall, clean. Small but in good condition.

The property was safe and contact limited with hotel, except for prior when we attempted to cancel due to medical emergency. Thought we'd be fine going but shower wouldn't give hot water or drain properly, so by the time it was warm, it was nearly overflowing, so hard to get clean. Pool was colder than Puget Sound in WA.

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.

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.

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.
