Mariposa Lodge

07/14/24 Stayed one night with my wife and kids while visiting Yosemite(about an hour away from the Yosemite valley). Great lodge, great location, clean, comfortable, helpful employee. Easy checkin, easy checkout. No problems. Good price. If in area will stay again.

We lodged here for one night after exploring Yosemite. The ladies working the reception desk were super friendly and offered my brother and I great recommendations for local dining and such. Room was comfortable and very clean. Just wish the pool was open!

Although we just lodged for one night, the amenities were excellent! The beds were comfortable and cozy. The rooms were clean and stocked well with what one might need. We had a very restful evening. It was nice and quiet and everyone was very friendly and helpful.
We were right in the middle of this little town Mariposa 🦋, we’re we took a stroll down the main avenue and were able to find friendly people, nice little shops and places to eat.

My wife and I stayed here in late November. Matt on reception was an absolute delight and so welcoming even though it was midnight when we arrived. Our room was as you’d expect, clean, quiet, tidy, and warm (thankfully! It was so cold). We’re already planning another trip to Yosemite and hope to stay at Mariposa Lodge again.

Clean, comfortable lodging not far from Yosemite NP that is dog friendly. I was there 2 nights and was happy with my stay. There is not an area for dogs so I took mine on a short walk down the road adjacent to the motel which worked out well for us. The staff was courteous.

We booked this motel because of dog friendly accommodation. The rooms were updated, the location convenient to Yosemite, the doggie bag greeting was a real plus. The most interesting part was the beds were rather lumpy, but we slept great. The employees were excellent, very enthusiastic and helpful.

We booked here 1 week in advance for 2 nights to visit Yosemite NP. We were 1 hr & 10 minutes from the park Visitor Center. We picked this motel based on available, cost, & proximity to the park. Restaurants & coffee shop were nearby, walking distance. Room had 2 queens, roomy & clean. Had a mini fridge & microwave plus a single cup coffee maker. We denied daily cleaning service since it was only for 2 nights. No frills, just a good place for overnight lodging. TV had many DirectTV channels, but we didn’t use much. Check in is 3 pm. We had to wait until 3, although we got there 2:35 pm. No big deal.

To put this succicently, this is definitely a motel. Small pool, smaller hot tub, basic rooms. The place is older and has some very retro architecture. It's affordable, comfortable, and easy to get too (right off the highway, literally). So why do you want to get a room at an "average" place?

This place takes me to the late 90's. The burger joint down the street serves early morning breakfasts under a classic diner sign, and the (terrific) bar down the block delivers pizza until 1am. Yosemite Valley is within spitting distance, the mountains are beautiful, and it's a peaceful mountain valley. He rooms are pretty big, with room for you to haul in your hiking gear and clean it. And it's as cheap as a place significantly worse off in a city.

Don't come here expecting a glitzy, 5-star hotel with hot breakfast and HBO. You talk to an actual clerk at the front desk, pick up your stamped room key, and find your own parking spot. But you step into a piece of American history, not a hokey tourist trap. This place is a memory and a movie all in one, and the attraction isn't on television, but out the window and down the block. Come here to experience Mariposa, not to hide away from it.

All in all it's a quaint, affordable, and thoroughly enjoyable piece of late-century life frozen in time, outside of a world famous natural park. Why aren't you booking your room yet?

Very pleasantly surprised! The Lodge is rated as a 2 star but we found it very comfortable with no noise. We were in town the same weekend as the hotrods and having spent motorsport weekends in motels, I feared the worst! Staff were friendly and we even saw a phone with a curly cord that we were able to explain to our daughter what it was. ☎

I recommend this place 100%. The staff are very kind and don't even get me started in the rooms... the rooms are INCREDIBLE. Super clean, cozy, and they smell nice. I had a pleasant stay here. 🙌🏽

Room was clean and staff was very responsive and answered several questions promptly prior to our arrival. They even sent out information regarding reservations to Yosemite to inform its guests about changes. While it didn’t effect our trip it would have been close. Very close to several places to eat and small shops. It’s close proximity to Yosemite, especially for the price, was great. Had a small pool which my son enjoyed. I felt very safe in the area. I would recommend to others.

The rooms were amazingly clean, clean towels shampoo conditioner lotion was provided, very helpful and professional staff at the check-in desk. The lady at the desk walked us through stores and places to visit in the area and provided us a map which was great. I was in need of an auto shop on a Sunday evening but unfortunately had to wait till Monday morning.
This place exceeded our expectations, I'm going to stay again next time I'm visiting Yosemite.

Such a cute place! We were just there this springtime and their flowers are in bloom, so pretty and quaint. The beds were super comfortable and it was nice and clean in the room. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. It's right on highway140 so it's close to pretty much everything in town. It's about an hour's drive to the north entrance of Yosemite. I would definitely return. Thanks Mariposa Lodge!

We liked it. It’s clean. Very nice and friendly staffs, 24/7 front desk. There is a pool. Has a decent view of mountains on a clear day. There are not many options for food nearby. The happy burger diner is the closest to this hotel that is popular in this area. They have good food.

Although some of the items we're outdated, it worked out for what I needed it. The most important part of any of hotel I stay at are the beds and the beds we're very clean and comfortable. The pillows we're fluffy and the sheets are clean.

I also look for how cleaners do a great job when setting up the beds. Pillows are aligned nicely and facing the entrance begging to be laid on. Towels are set up well also and clean. Amenities we're organized. Overall cleaners did a good job.

Parking is very convenient to move luggage on the first floor. I also appreciated all the locks. It made me feel safer in an unfamiliar environment. The microwave, coffee maker and fridge are great additions. Lastly the lady that checked me in was accomodating when I locked my self out. Easy check in and out process.

Of all the hotels I passed by, the entrance and cleanliness looked welcoming. Overall it made me feel at home.

Little gem in the center of town. Perfect place to relax after visiting all the amazing places this little town has to offer. Close to absolutely everything in town. Friendly employees, supplied with toiletries, coffee, hair dryer, cable TV and wi-fi. The price can not be beat and they are pet friendly. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed

Location 5, an hour of Yosemite park.
Cozy and clean, just what we needed after a long day at the road from SF and half day at the park.
The women at the reception was nice and a little unprofessional (we book just one night, so our experience it’s partial).
The water pressure could be stronger for the showers.

This hotel is located near Mariposa center on the main highway.

Room is large and comfortable. The cleanliness of floor should be improved.

There is microwave, TV, fridge and coffee maker in the room. Toilet is equipped with bathtub and shower.
Wifi is fast and reliable.

Parking lot is sufficient. There is a small pool in common area.

This hotel is very good for all type of customer.

Mariposa Lodge was an amazing place to stay. I picked it at random based on previous reviews as a place to stay for an all-day trip to Yosemite and it turned out to be our favorite place out of many driving trips from Washington State to Socal. The young gentleman at checkin was friendly and helpful. He even gave some helpful recommendations on places to dine and get coffee. The rooms felt and were clean. It was a very pleasant two night stay. Would highly recommend this place!

ll was splendid starting from the quite late check-in (they have a 24/7 window for late arrivals) and ending with the very comfy stay in very spacy room in nice surroundings. If you are looking for a place to stay after or before visting Yosemite, select this one and it'll be a good choice for money. The park is 1 hour away from the hotel. The rooms might require renovation in some time but are perfectly ok for now. Just in case you are way too choosy about it. Don't consider this a complaint.
