Guest Reviews
- Marzena (8/5): -
- Festinesi (7/5): - Tres froid dans sdb
- Domi (6/5): -
- FireFox1970 (5/5): - The locatie was ok, maar in Mariposa is niet veel te doen. Niemand van het personeel was aanwezig
Badkamer was zo klein dat je je nauwelijks kunt ronddraaien. Bedden waren doorgelegen.
Het is erg gehorig en veel last van muggen door een stroompje achter het huis.
- Jiri (8/5): - Pružné jednání. Bezkontaktní.
- Alan Warburton (8/5): - Having had an issue with our original room,we were moved to another room,which was excellent,no issues what so ever,a big thank you to the management team for dealing with the issues promptly and efficiently,would stay again. All good
- Angela (5/5): - Location, size of our room. The pool closes way to early. Had to check out early at 10am. Our shower head sprayed water all over so I threw a wash cloth over it . It didn't really help so we had a lot of soaked towels . The pillows were very flat, had to use 3 as 1 pillow.
- Christa (10/5): -
- Catherine Claire (8/5): -
- Tomáš (10/5): - Všechno bylo podle očekávání, byli jsme spokojeni 👍
- Patrycja (8/5): Ok - Duży pokój, dobra kawa z kawiarki w pokoju
Możliwość self check in w późnych godzinach
Szybkość odpowiadania na pytania. Łazienka w trochę starszym stylu.
- Karen P and Robert (5/5): -
- Leyvie (9/5): Worth the price. We felt safe staying here. Easy check in/out. - Clean. Well maintained.
- Giacomo (8/5): Semplice ma carino. - Posizione ottima per raggiungere Yosemite National Park. La struttura è molto spartana ma ha un suo fascino. Ci tornerei. La cucina potrebbe essere più fornita. Le pentole e i piatti sono molto vecchi. Il bagno sarebbe da ristrutturare.
- Veronica (8/5): Nice and cozy - Cute and homie, excellent downtown location. Bathroom is kinda small
- Marisol (9/5): -
- Anežka (10/5): - Lokalita, báječně funguje check in po 19hod., vše bylo v obálce - jak bylo slíbeno. Krásné prostředí, čistý pokoj.
- Janium (10/5): -
- Yannick (10/5): Super séjour ! Je recommande - J’ai bien aimé l’emplacement avec la piscine. Il manquait des verres
- Maria Rosaria (6/5): - Camera molto ampia, vicino a tutti i ristoranti. Indicazioni chiare per self-check in Mobilio e sanitari antiquati e tenuti male. Scarico doccia intasato
- Maria Elisa (9/5): - Fácil check-in Todo bien
- Beatrice (10/5): PERFETTO PER ARRIVARE A YOSEMITE PRESTO AL MATTINO - L'alloggio si trova a Mariposa, a circa un'ora dall'ingresso del parco di Yosemite. siamo arrivati dopo le 9 p.m. e come avevo letto sul sito il check-in è stato automatico con istruzioni molto chiare che avevo ricevuto via internet. L'appartamento ha molto spazio (noi eravamo una coppia con nostra figlia e un amico di famiglia) e abbiamo avuto camere separate per tutti. E' una soluzione molto vantaggiosa per entrare al mattino dopo al parco. Ed ha un costo veramente interessante. Ci tornerei domani e probabilmente lo utilizzerei se volessi fare più giorni a Yosemite Niente
- Carine (5/5): - Chambre et salle de douche assez petite , personnel non vu donc pas d avis
- Hansen (5/5): - got the large apartment (3 bedrooms, with 3 queen + 1 double bed), multiple portable space heaters provided
large bathroom as well one of the space heaters had issues, would produce loud beeping noises (had to be unplugged)
never saw any staff (late check in after the normal ~3-6 or 8 pm office hours, nobody there in the morning)
there was a centipede in the sink when we arrived
- tetebooking (9/5): Buen hotel para visitar Yosemite - Buen hotel con todo lo necesario para una estancia breve de camino o de vuelta a Yosemite. Nosotros paramos la noche antes de ir al parque y super bien, al día siguiente sólo en 40 min ya estábamos allí. Quizás un poco caro para el servicio básico que ofrece, pero viendo los precios de la zona tampobo me parece excesivo, en la media.
- Estefanía (8/5): - La ubicacion que estaba en el centro, la decoración y la recepción por su originalidad ya que te dejan un sobre con tu nombre para hacer el che-in si llegas mas tarde de las 19:00pm. El ventilador hacia bastante ruído.
- Sylvie (9/5): Pratique spacieux et personnel très gentil - La taille et l’emplacement Rien
- Nejka (10/5): Nice amd cosy, close to Yosemite. - The location.
- Laura (10/5): -

- Matthew (10/5): - Great location
- Laura (7/5): -
- Zoltán (6/5): Pici egyszerű motel max 1 éjszakára. - Jó elhelyezkedésű motel parkolóhellyel. Nagyon pici a szoba és a fürdőszoba. A ruhákat eltenni nincs hely. Maximum 1 éjszakára ajánlott.
- Augusto (10/5): Excelente hubicacion para visitar Yosemite. - Todo bien , el parking, la hubicacion, todo muy limpio. Todo bien
- Mariana (5/5): - Dobre zorganizovaný check-in. Malé izby, tenké steny-bolo počuť susedov.

- Hifumi (9/5): -
- Jword1215 (8/5): - Cute, but got some age on it. Well supplied, nice people. Bathroom space is very tight.
- Ankit (7/5): - Self check inn was good. We just stayed to spend night. Mosquito and fly around the door
- simone (8/5): -
- Silvia (7/5): -
- Hildegard (9/5): - It was excellent value fpr money. Location was great, it was very good value for money, and the entire stay was easy.
- András Ősz (10/5): Clean, spacious Mariposa motel with great value and easy access to Yosemite - A lovely, clean motel in the center of Mariposa. We didn’t meet the staff in person due to our late check‑in, but they were incredibly kind and helpful — they sent us all the important information in advance, and our key was waiting for us, prepared and ready. The room was spacious enough even for five people and very clean. It’s a great starting point for a Yosemite trip, with free parking and very good value for the price.
- Joeboyd2704 (8/5): -
- Abdul Qadeer (8/5): It served its purpose - It was comfortable, and saw no bugs. That's a big plus. Bathroom is super tight.
- Ravindra (4/5): -
- Amber (10/5): Loved the room for our family. 3 beds and a kitchen with table to eat at. - Quiet and clean
- Raul (10/5): -
- Ekaterina (10/5): -
- Ramirez (10/5): -
- Tom-Lukas (8/5): - It was a very good location to go to Yosemite park from there and it's great that it's in the town centre of Mariposa to still do something in the evening. The heater was loud at night.
- Sebastian (10/5): - Lokalizacja, miła i dbająca o swoich gości właścicielka.
- Mynor (10/5): -
- Kerri-Ann (8/5): Very reasonably-priced comfortable and spacious accommodation in a convenient location. - Well equipped, conveniently located and plenty of space.
- Alexandria (8/5): -
- Ádám Miklós (10/5): -
- Petra (8/5): - Es war ein schnuckelige, kleines, typisch altes Motel in den USA. Da wir es noch zu einem sehr günstigen Preis bekommen haben, war die Preis – Leistung super. Wenn es teurer gewesen wäre, wäre es überteuert gewesen. Angebot und Nachfrage. Wir konnten zum Essen zu Fuß gehen. Sehr einfache alte Ausstattung. Der untere Bezug der unteren Matratze beziehungsweise das Bettgestell war schmuddelig.
- victoria (10/5): -
- Wielogorska (10/5): Super nocleg blisko parku - Bardzo wygodny obiekt zadbano o wszystko co potrzebne Wszystko było naprawdę dobre
- Ricardo Eder dos Santos (8/5): - Localização e facilidade do check-in. Aquecedor com um pouco de ruído.
- Jonathan (8/5): -
- carmen (9/5): -
- Megan (9/5): -
- Gerrit (4/5): Die Unterkunft ist ganz gut, aber im Winter viel zu kalt. - Die Lage in Mariposa (ein nettes Städtchen mit mehreren Essensmöglichkeiten) ist gut, der Parkplatz ist direkt vor der Türe. Wir waren im Winter mit Außentemperaturen nachts von knapp über 0 Grad da, wodurch es auch im Inneren des Raums eisig kalt wurde und wir nachts aufgrund der Kälte aufgewacht sind und nachheizen mussten, bevor wir weiterschlafen konnten. Bei zwei Nächten hintereinander war das schwer auszuhalten.
- Patricia (7/5): -
- John (8/5): -
- Pedro (8/5): - The location was great Everything was good
- Tarabini (7/5): conveniently located midtown for walks around. - the sheets were soft. the pillows were comfortable because they were not gigantic like many hotels. the Christmas lighting was fabulous.
- Sabina (8/5): - Posto accogliente e staff disponibile. Mariposa è una bella cittadina e nelle vicinanze del Lodge ci sono ristoranti e benzinai. Perfetto per chi vuole visitare Yosemite.
- ERIC ANDRE (7/5): -
- Marisol (8/5): -
- DIEGO (9/5): Acogedor - Habitación cómodo y acogedora. Pueblo encantador y muy cerca al parque. Me dejaron las indicaciones para ingresar, pues llegaba tarde.
- Seerat (10/5): - Cute. Hassle free. Best
- Umberto (10/5): Ottima sistemazione a Mariposa - La struttura si trova sulla strada principale del piccolo paese di Mariposa, a poca distanza dall'ingresso Ovest dello Yosemite park. Si tratta di una stanza tipo motel, dotata di tutto, con parcheggio adiacente. Abbiamo soggiornato qui una sola notte, ma abbiamo apprezzato l'ordine e la pulizia. Durante il nostro soggiorno si è verificato un blackout (che in realtà aveva interessato tutta la cittadina) e la proprietaria, molto gentile, si è subito interessata per aiutarci. Assolutamente consigliato, se cercate un alloggio comodo alle sequoie giganti dello Yosemite!
- Chrisstoffels (7/5): - Good value. Clean. Great location We saw staff ? only very briefly during stay so cannot comment. Bedding a little on the light side. Otherwise clean and tidy. The information notes were hospitable in tone.
- Giulia Francesca (9/5): Ottima posizione rispetto allo Yosemite - La posizione è ottima rispetto l'ingresso al parco Yosemite. La camera era pulita, semplice e fornita di microonde e frigo e in piu una specie di stufetta al muro che ci ha scaldato dai primi freddi. Comodo il checkin senza personale, facile e veloce.
- Joaquín (8/5): Sitio sencillo, práctico, funcional. Recomendable por la relación calidad - precio - Nos hospedamos 2 parejas en la mismo apartamento. Bien ubicado para visitar Yosemite. Muy amplio. El checkin era por código y no tuvimos contacto con la recepción. Parking en la puerta de la habitación. Tenía todo lo necesario, era muy funcional. Recomendable si buscas algo sencillo.
- Noemi (6/5): - Yosemity Nemzeti parkhoz kozel, ok meretu szoba, kicsi furdo. Nincs szemelyzet, self checkin gobd nelkul ment. Tiszta. Praktikus egy parnak ha a nemzeti parkhoz kozel akar megszallni olcson. Parkolas kozel a szobahoz. Borzaszto puha az agy matraca, mindkettonk hata megfajdult.
- KATIA (10/5): Se um dia voltar a Mariposa, ficaremos novamente. - Estivemos nesse hotel 31 anos atrás! Obviamente o quarto foi reformado.
Limpeza muito boa.
Silencioso.
Excelente localização na rua principal de Mariposa.
Amamos voltar depois de mais de 3 décadas.
O frigobar, micro-ondas e cafeteira facilita muito. O banheiro é bem pequeno. Mas isso não foi problema para nós.
- Péter János (10/5): Very lovely place to stay - Clean, spacious, and well-equipped apartment.
The beds are comfortable, and we slept very well at night — it was quiet, and nothing disturbed our sleep.
We arrived with a large vehicle, and the host very thoughtfully assigned the largest parking space to the largest apartment, so parking in the inner courtyard was easy. Ilyen nem volt.
- Tachi (8/5): -
- Zoltan (10/5): Fabulous! - The welcome envelope package was a really nice touch. We arrived late so we could not meet the host(s). The Halloween decoration was fun. In general the whole place and the town is a beauty. We loved it very much. However we stayed for 3 nights we wish we could stay longer. Mariposa, the motel and the whole Yosemite area is just magnificent and adorable. We will definitely come again some day in the future.
- Jacob (7/5): - Location was good, comfortable beds. Everything else was just okay. I didn’t see or hear from the staff at all during my stay of 4 nights and they mentioned that if I needed new towels or bedding I needed to put it in a white basket and leave it out the front of the room… however I didn’t have a basket
- Isabela (8/5): Agradable y natural - Estaba ubicado en la carretera principal del ue lo y se veían los venados desde la ventana que pasaban, me sentí muy inmersa en la naturaleza. El check in muy fácil con las instrucciones que te dejan en el sobre. Wifi funciona bien .
- Pavle (8/5): -
- Louis (7/5): Bon rapport qualité/prix - L'emplacement est parfait pour accéder à Yosemite (nous étions en 1h à Yosemite Valley donc très pratique), mais également pour se rendre à pieds aux différents restaurants de Mariposa.
La chambre était spacieuse et propre. L'insonorisation de la chambre, nous entendions la route mais également les voisins dans la chambre d'à côté.
- Kita (8/5): -
- Eric (10/5): bien - l'interieur de la chambre on entends très bien les voisins ce qui est particulierement desagréable quend il y a des voisins indelicats
- Tania (7/5): -
- Antonio (9/5): -
- Elisabeth (8/5): Petit motel sympa - L'emplacement très central Rien
- Marius (9/5): - Wir hatten ein kleines Häuschen, das zwar nicht besonders groß war und ein sehr kleines Bad hatte, aber alles war schön eingerichtet und gemütlich. Ein Parkplatz stand direkt zur Verfügung, was sehr praktisch war. Die Rezeption ist nur von 16 bis 20 Uhr besetzt, daher mussten wir ein bisschen warten, weil wir etwas früher angekommen sind. Vor Ort war davor niemand erreichbar, was aber kein großes Problem war. Das Häuschen war etwas hellhörig, ansonsten war aber alles in Ordnung und sauber.
Mariposa ist eine kleine, charmante Stadt, in der man vieles zu Fuß erreichen kann. Es gibt nette Läden und gute Restaurants in der Nähe. Insgesamt ein schöner Aufenthalt, wir würden wiederkommen.
- audrey (8/5): Parfait ! - Petit motel en plein cœur du centre de Mariposa où vous trouverez de quoi manger ou faire quelques courses ( un supermarché pionniers à la sortie de la ville avec vente de plats préparés). Accueil et remise des clefs très facilité.
Notre chambre au confort minimaliste était propre. La piscine était fermée mais l’espace est très sympa avec vue sur la forêt.
Pub très sympa à quelques mètres !
Excellent point de chute pour visiter Yosemite Park ( environ 50 minutes de l’entrée ouest du parc).
Excellent rapport qualité prix.
- agostino (8/5): -
- Davide (7/5): Comodo - Il motel dispone di tutto il necessario per un soggiorno breve e si trova in una bella posizione per raggiungere il parco Yosemite (un ora di macchina circa) Il wifi troppo lento! A un turista che giorno per giorno ha bisogno di un buon accesso alla rete qui internet non ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative risultando troppo lento per semplici utilizzi (mappe, social, info,...).
Durante il giorno la stanza raggiungeva temperature molto alte e non disponendo di aria condizionata il caldo era molto intenso. Fortunatamente era fine settembre e le temperature non erano così estreme
- david (6/5): -
- Tim (4/5): - Very dated and modest feeling
- Margherita (10/5): -
- céline (7/5): - Authenticité
Rapport qualité prix Chambre petite
- Fleur (7/5): - Bien situé dans Mariposa.
Il fait le job pour 1 ou 2 nuits mais ce n’est pas le grand confort. Matelas pas terrible et salle de bain à refaire.
