Expedia pictures made property look much better than it actually was. Limited staff on property. Very small Shower, room was small but clean, bed adequate, pillows too old and soft, no one in office to answer questions or concerns. Room was close to water heater/pump. Every time someone took a shower or used hot water, it roared like a tractor. Fortunately other guests didn't take late night showers. Property built in 1946 and while improved, improvements were superficial.

Decent

It was good for the price, however if you are a light sleeper like me it could be an issue. Construction going on right across the street during work hours and other guests coming in late at night and standing out in front of the main area talking, all easily heard since the place is small. If that stuff doesn't bother you than you should be fine

I always enjoy going to this hotel to enjoy some peace and quiet especially to avoid fireworks. This is walking distance to restaurants at downtown Mariposa. There was a forest fire last time I went and the owners were gracious enough to refund some of my booking since I had to leave early.

Room was clean and comfy, with zero issues. Check-in was a bit odd with the key left in the door and assignments via chalkboard, but ended up working very well. Staff was fantastic - polite, courteous, and welcoming.

Not What I Expected Based On Reading Other Reviews

I don't want to give it a bad review because I never want to damange anyone's business but I also think it's important to be honest so people know what they are getting. We arrived late at night and were very exhausted from a long day of travel, had a hard time locating the room in the dark, the room smelled like a smoker was in it before us, the bathroom smelled like sewage, we ran out of hot water every time the 3 of us showered and the lights were very dim.The place needs an update. It was clean and the staff (although I never saw them) did come and empty our garbages every day and gave us clean towels once. If you're not too picky and looking for a reasonably priced place to stay near Yosimite this is your place.

Adequate but not stellar

The check in was very strange. We were told to read the Chalk Board and it told us the key was in the door to our room. Several problems with the room. The outside light at our door was not working, so entering the room at night was tricky. The bathroom has several issues: a leaky, dripping shower that could not be stopped, a slow draining sink, and the tank on the toilet is loose (we thought it was going to fall off the bowl). Also, checkout was not explained, so we did what we thought best.

Nice spot. Thought it was a little strange they left the key on the door when we checked in late. Seems unsafe? Otherwise, it was fine for an night. I’d suggest a rug or something in the room

Noisy Noisy!

Since it was a very old motel I expected things to be quaint and not up to standards of a large hotel chain - I was totally fine with that and that was fun. Also it was very close to the walkable town which was great. The check-in was a bit strange, but OK. But we got stuck next to the restaurant (which I previously requested we did not have that room). Very loud starting at 7am! Also, they were doing roadwork outside one day which was hellacious - not the motel's fault other than our room placement. It's also kinda weird there is no staff on site although they were prompt with a text. Would I stay here again? Probably not.
