Guest Reviews
- Lukas (10/5): - Gute Lage zum Yosemite Nationalpark
Kleines schönes Zimmer
In zur Stadt passenden Oldschool Einrichtung
Mit kleiner Terasse vor dem Zimmer
- Debora (6/5): - Economico, in alta stagione non ci sono molte alternative a questo prezzo. C’è un piccolo bar davanti alla struttura molto carino e comodo per la colazione Struttura molto datata e poco curata. Non posso dire nulla dello staff in quanto non li ho proprio incontrati, né al check in né al check out.
- Dawid (10/5): -
- Bert (7/5): Goed op route naar Yosemite - Locatie dicht bij Yosemite park
BBQ bij de buurman Super kleine badkamer en zeer oud bollig
- Morphy81 (8/5): -
- Michele (9/5): Notte a Mariposa - Camera grande, parcheggio comodo e incluso nel prezzo. Nulla
- Marta (9/5): - Habitación muy amplia. Tiene nevera, microondas y máquina de café dentro de la habitación. Hay productos de aseo y secador de pelo. No hay cortinas en la habitación y entra bastante luz por las mañanas.
- M. Dolores (7/5): -
- Juliette (9/5): Très bien mais vérifier l'ouverture de la route. - Confortable et pratique. Pas de checkin ou check out, l'expérience est très fluide. La route vers 140 Yosemite était fermée donc on a dû repartir en arrière et faure un grand détour. Bien vérifier l'ouverture des routes avant de choisir où on s'arrête.
- Mary (10/5): We will stay here again - The bed and location was exceptional.
- Minovo (8/5): Waar voor zijn geld! - Compleet voor een 1 sterren hotel. De hygiëne was goed. Na 3 weken hotels, eindelijk eens handdoeken die lekker ruiken en zacht zijn!
- Siegmund (7/5): -
- Robert (10/5): - room very nice and quite nothing
- Mark (9/5): -
- Jenny-lynne (9/5): Great little place - Easy access to rooms.
Walk distance to food.
- Alexander (9/5): Klein aber ok - Wir haben die Unterkunft wegen der Lage zum Yosemite NP gewählt, das war für uns die beste Option um nicht so weit zu fahren und nicht so viel zu bezahlen. in der Nähe vom Park war einfach alles viel zu teuer. Das wlan im Zimmer war nicht so gut, wir haben uns dann ans Cafe, wo die Tafel mit den Namen ist, gesetzt um für unsere Ausflüge zu recherchieren.
- Helen (10/5): we stayed the night before heading into Yosemite NP.. such a lovely little motel which was perfect for our needs right i - it's super cute .. very comfy and clean .. we had no problems at all and right in the middle of town everything was great no complaints at all
- Isabela (9/5): -
- Julieth (9/5): Comodidad y buen precio - La localización es optima, la habitación estaba super limpia y muy comoda. Llegamos muy tarde en la noche y el check-in fue muy facil a pesar de que no había personal, nos dejaron indicaciones en una pizarra y las llaves en la puerta. En la mañana la cafetería del hotel fue un gran plus, ofrece cafes y tartas deliciosos
- Carfio3 (8/5): - La posizione, la doccia e i prodotti con dispenser a disposizione dell'ospite. Stanza molto carina e accogliente. Porta d'ingresso con serratura da cambiare.
- Merche (4/5): Bastante flojo y descuidado - La ubicación Olía raro y no estaba limpio las puertas y ventanas de pena
- Catherine Claire (8/5): -
- Dorothy (8/5): - Clean. Roomy. Affordable No breakfast. A bit old.
- Christos (10/5): -
- hsuan wen (1/5): - 位置還算方便 旅行這麼多年,第一次住到如此差勁的旅館。房間髒亂狹小不說,還瀰漫著刺鼻的芳香劑味。明明是汽車旅館,9間客房卻只有8個車位,是要讓剩下的那位房客自己想辦法找車位膩?十分差勁的體驗
- Susi (10/5): -
- Jakub (8/5): Amerykański klimat bazy wypadowej do Yosemite - Klimatyczne miejsce, super miasteczko, zdecydowanie chce się zostać tam dłużej. Sam wystrój i wyposażenie mocno wiekowe, ale nie dla luksusów się jedzie w takie miejsce. Fajna przygoda, ale nie dla osób z wymaganiami. Miejsce parkingowe przed domkiem, fajny ogród pod dużym drzewem. Odbiór kluczy bez kontaktu z obsługą. Prysznic był dość niewygodny w korzystaniu. Ciasny, stary i ciężko było ustawić temperaturę wody. Zamek w drzwiach zewnętrznych też mógłby się łatwiej otwierać.
- Cécile (10/5): -
- Nikolas (10/5): - Super cozy and excellent location, much larger room than we expected and the beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were also very clean and renovated!
- Adriana (8/5): Muy bien localizado, cerca de la entrada de Yosemite - Muy limpio y acogedor No funcionaba bien el wifi y no se acomodó la habitación
- Manuel (10/5): -
- Natalie (8/5): -
- Justin (7/5): -
- Benjamin (9/5): Agréable et cocooning - Très mignon, plein de petites attentions ! Merci pour les cookies ils étaient succulents Rien. Une boîte de mouchoirs et du thé pour le petit déjeuner serait parfait 🙂
- Patrick (9/5): -
- Jürgen (8/5): - Keine Waschmaschiene
- Nomad0077 (8/5): Charming place - I liked the large room, it was charming and unique. I liked the sound of the frogs and the cafe on the premises. It was easy to check in and there was free parking. I liked the strong water pressure in the shower and the seating area outside, under the trees. I didn't like seeing the feces in the toilet or the rude barista.
- ivan (8/5): - El pueblo es precioso y el motel está coqueto. El ruido terrible de la nevera y la atención de las camareras del bar ( que es propiedad del hotel también)
- Mariela (8/5): Bien - La ubicación El olor a humedad al ingresar
- Arnaldo (9/5): -
- Lior (7/5): - The hot water was unreliable in the shower
- dolores (9/5): - La zona donde hay muchos restaurantes y aúna hora de yosemite El baño era pequeño
- Sam (10/5): Clean - Quite, Nothing
- Diego (10/5): -
- Charles (10/5): - The rooms were big and clean. The beds were comfortable. The shops and restaurants are only a block away.
- Maialen (5/5): - La ubicación No había agua caliente en la ducha y la habitación estaba inclinada.
- Francis (6/5): Cozy old school motel decorated with homey items marred by a substandard shower. - My room was a quiet end unit and charming for its individual guest room home-like decorations. The bed was comfortable and the room was just the right size for this solo traveler. There is an attractive community deck area. The motel is located in the center of town and a short walk to restaurants and coffeehouses. The attached coffeehose, closed part of my stay, offered delicious breakfast fare on my final morning. The shower is sadly a real dealbreaker. It was almost impossible to control water temperature. The detachable hand held shower was held by a magnet to the shower allowing for only one unfortunate position. The fabric shower stall permitted water to flow into the bedroom, soaking a bag of my clothing in the closet.
- Irlanda (10/5): 9 out of 10 loved it - Cozzy Heater slow
- Peter (8/5): - Comfortable room in the centre of village.
There was a pond nearby with frogs 🐸 🐸 was great, although a little noisy Low season so on site cafe closed. And reception unmanned.
Our luggage had to be delivered from San Francisco, so fortunately we were in at the time.
- Mari (1/5): - Felt unsafe...did not stay at property. Also ran out of hot water
- Robles (10/5): - La limpieza y el orden.
- lorena (8/5): - The room was clean and well maintained Was informed there was no breakfast through email after booking.
- Lucas (1/5): -
- Gary (9/5): -
- Zhuoqi (9/5): -
- Gary (10/5): Would definitely stay here again and recommend highly to others. - Great location and price. Well-maintained property and accommodations. Clean, comfortable and stylish room. Proximity to adjacent cafe for excellent breakfast. Took a few minutes to locate the room assignment board as the office was closed. Bathroom on smallish side, but had everything we needed.
- Jerry (8/5): -
- Nascimento (10/5): - Love the room. We've stayed in many hotels and my husband and I was really impressed with the room. We will diffently be back. Thank you
- David (6/5): Overall the property is in a good location it could benefit from a renovation - The location was excellent Dated interior and a very small bathroom. Check in process was confusing and the phone number provided on Booking.Com didn’t work. A guy next door at the coffee shop directed us to a black board with a different phone number. The door to the room didn’t have a very effective lock. On arrival the bathroom sink was blocked and filled with coffee grounds. I alerted them and they fixed the issue promptly. The bathroom lacked a fan so it was necessary to open the window, however this looked directly at the property across the street so didn’t feel private. We greatly appreciated that they allowed us early access to our room.
- Rahul (2/5): Not recommended, wondering how come the reviews are good - Location and accessibility to good restaurants - WiFi was pathetic ( barely any range )
- Cleaning services didn’t change bed sheets and towel
- bathroom door didn’t have lock
- the shower room was so claustrophobic, barely could take a bath comfortably
- Yashasvi Sriram (7/5): Good! - location, price, ease of check-in, beautiful, clean, comfy, almost everything else toilet was clogged
- Taylor (10/5): -
- Andrew (9/5): Very nice quaint place that is close to the main street. - I didn’t know that it was included. I didn’t find a iron.
- Meggie (9/5): Nous recommandons ! - La simplicité et l’efficacité, chambre bien équipée, arrivée facile Rien à redire
- Shadab (10/5): Good - Kitchen TV
- Tiffany (10/5): - Perfect spot in town to walk to everything. Cute and rustic and comfy!
- Bryan (7/5): - Easy to find and check in. Accommodation clean and tidy. Plenty of parking Check out process was unclear with inconsistent details
- emma (10/5): - Brilliant
- Labarthe (7/5): Utilitaria - N/a
- gacostacec (10/5): -
- Elisa Scarabelli (9/5): - Posizione centrale nel bel paesino di mariposa, atmosfera accogliente, letti comodi, macchinetta del caffè e bagnoschiuma e shampoo in grande formato più ecologico -
- osharlock (9/5): In love of Mariposa, in love of River Rock Inn's vibes - It was really unconventional. I did not interreact with anyone from the staff. Felt like an airbnb. But the communication from the booking app was top notch. I still cannot believe how we retrieve the key, which I will not say for security reasons of course, but I and my family were jaw-dropped.
I mean not that I am complaing, hence writing it on this section and considering that the less people I need to go through the better. But I would have liked to meet the owners and have a taste from their Coffee shop. Specially since I had a discount that couldn't use haha.
Unfortunately I don't think I have no more business on Mariposa, but if I ever return, I will absolutely come here again.
- Linda (10/5): It was lovely and I would definitely stay there again. - It had historical significance yet was nicely updated. It was easy to walk to stores and good restaurants. There was a delicious coffee cafe on the property. The bed and bedding was very comfy. Can’t think of a thing not to like.
- Debrakh (8/5): -
- Idris (1/5): -
- Fariha (1/5): -
- Sergio (8/5): -
- Tomasz (9/5): -
- Obaid (8/5): Good place for quick and nice stay.. - Beds are clean and comfortable. Exactly what you expect from small town hotel. Heating of the room can be improved.
- Michal (4/5): - Great location before entering Yosemite national park Old amenities.
We had a very disappointing experience, finding out our room was not cleaned as expected before our arrival and the toilet wasn’t even flashed when we arrived! The staff took a while to respond and by the time they did it was too late and we didn’t even get a proper apology. Hoping it was a one time mess up but we definitely do not recommend the place
- Dorian (7/5): - Place de parking pour chaque client, arrivée autonome Douche très petites
- SHIRLEY (7/5): - The location was great, and the beds were comfortable. There was no staff on site which made things challenging at times. It would also have been nice to have some closet space or at least some hooks to hang clothes in the room.
- Jasper Lio (7/5): Good location, dog friendly, good value. - Location to yosemite Shower water heat was a bit finicky. The hot water would sometimes just disappear. The wifi was also very spotty.
- Jing (9/5): -
- Celine (8/5): Easy Check In & hammer Cafe! - Easy Check In und ein absolut tolles Cafe mit dabei! Sehr empfehlenswert!
- Simone (8/5): -
- Marcos (7/5): Beautiful surroundings - The location of the motel was perfect for us. It's a cosy little motel, with a coffee shop which, although it doesn't belong to the owners, they offer 20% discount for guests. The owners, although all the interactions were remote, were friendly and helpful.
We had a nice bed and the coffee machine we always want in our rooms. Everything was clean. When we arrived, the WiFi was not working in our room, but with a phone call that was sorted. The only issue we had was that the shower drain was not draining fast enough, and we had to stand on the water not going down. I recommend that it is looked into for next guests.
The size of the shower enclosure is very small, but that was OK.
- Claudia (4/5): - Poco e nulla Il fatto che nessuno abbia mai risposto al numero per le emergenze
- Emily (9/5): Close to Yosemite - Shower had great pressure, cute room, easy check in after hours Wifi could’ve been better
- Robert (10/5): -
- Carla (8/5): -
- Robert (10/5): -
- Alyssa (9/5): Cute location and a good price! - It was a great location coming from Yosemite and the town was adorable too. Really enjoyed the flexible check in and check out The bathroom sink seemed to be leaking, so the floor was constantly flooding whenever we used it. We also had very loud neighbors and the walls are so thin we could hear everything
- Vesile (8/5): Hele leuke sfeer. - Wat een leuke en mooie locatie. Hele leuke sfeer inclusief de buurt, alsof de tijd even heeft stil gestaan. En de mensen in de omgeving waren ook erg aardig.
Hotel zelf is erg gemoedelijk, sleutels zaten al in de deur en de airco stond aan op verwarmingstand (waren even een paar koude nachten). Dit was fijn binnenkomen. De kamer was mooi groot en verder schoon, alleen er hing zo een nare lucht in de kamer, vandaar dat hygiëne iets minder heeft gescoord bij ons.
Verder ook een mooie locatie om te logeren als je Yosemite National Park wilt bezoeken.
- Inga (8/5): I liked it! -
- Edda (8/5): - Gemütlich und trotz des Alters ein gepflegter Eindruck Bis auf die Angestellten im Café, haben wir nie Personal haben wir nie zu Gesicht bekommen
- Viktória (8/5): - Könnyű check in és out. Az internet nem igazán működött
- Melissa (8/5): This inn is a treasure! - So much thought has gone into making this inn a wonderful place to stay. Beautifully decorated and personalised. The bed was extremely comfortable, thick fluffy towels in the bathroom (a rare treat!), books to read, and in a perfect location where you can walk to everything in town. The cherry on top was being pet-friendly! Thank you so much for a lovely stay, I hope to be back.
- Valentine CG (5/5): À éviter - Je ne peux pas évaluer le personnel car la réception était fermée à mon arrivée et à mon départ.
Bon emplacement. Fuite dans la salle de bain, le sol était trempé le matin.
Des cheveux sur les murs de la douche. Salle de bain peu agréable.
Pas de table pour manger alors qu'il y avait frigo et micro ondes.
- Bea90 (1/5): El peor alojamiento de nuestra ruta por la Costa Oeste (14 días) - Me vino bien la ubicación respecto a como programamos la ruta por la Costa Oeste pero no repetiría noche aquí. No tuvimos agua caliente para ducharnos. Escasa limpieza de las habitaciones provoca que haya mosquitas e insectos en la habitación (no se entiende por dónde entraron pues hay mosquitera) y un baño sin espacio ni tan siquiera para dejar un neceser.
