2-Star Hotels in Mariposa County

You need to check in further up the road at Cedar Lodge, but it is a small drive back and forth (this is also where the restaurant is located) The wifi was great, the room was clean and comfortable, and there was nothing like sitting on the porch, watching the sunset over the mountains. The breakfast buffet is all right, and the staff is very kind.

In the hotel that entered the West Gate of Yosemite, it actually took more than an hour to open, and the price/performance ratio was very low. If you are departing from San Francisco, you might as well stay close to the west side of Merced, drive for 40 minutes, but the price is half cheaper. Ctrip also made a mistake in my stay, stayed for more than an hour... 1500 price is the most expensive hotel in the United States, air conditioning is very noisy... can not sleep at night

For such a small lodge, the quality of the location and the provided services were awesome. Its a pity I stayed there just a night

The room was spacious and clean. The staff we met were all very courteous. We were a little surprised that they didn’t know much about Mariposa Grove, the sequoia forest in Yosemite, but they Googled it and helped with visitor information. Breakfast isn’t available onsite, but we found a nearby dinner. Coffee making facilities are included in the room. I was pleased that they have a pool, but confused to find it locked at 8.30am, when the sign on the gate says it opens at 8am. I found another sign in Reception saying it opens at 9am. Management would do well to decide on a single opening time and communicate that clearly. The pool also was overdue a clean. There is free parking onsite, but a downside of proximity to the main road is the sound of trucks passing from 5am. This place was clean and functional, and a reasonable base for exploring Yosemite, being midway between Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove.

We arrived very late after after dealing with a shredded back tyre miles from anywhere to find our names on a blackboard pointing to our room & the key in the door. The location couldn't be better for visiting Yosemite & the town is cute & worth a visit. It was great to be able to park up & have a short walk to restaurants, etc. BUT if you can, avoid room 8. It's somewhat separate from the rest of the rooms & attached to the coffee shop fronting 7th Street (coffee shop is leased so not run by the Inn's owner) so at 06.15 we were woken by a strong smell of coffee being ground then at 07.00ish the smell of bacon started. Not too bad a problem perhaps, if a bit early on your holidays! The room was very dark as we had to keep the blinds closed for some privacy. There was a terrace/patio area immediately outside our room which I didn't realise wasn't private until we opened the door to find people eating breakfast & working on laptops right in front of us. This may not bother some people but it's important to know.

We did self check in since we arrived late on a night where temperatures were up to 90s. When we opened the door, the room felt like a sauna. It took about 2 hours to cool down the room using the very loud AC/fan. The room looked nice and comfortable but if you pay attention to details you’ll notice some things. The room had some small flies that were coming in from the door (there was an open gap at the top allowing bugs to come in). The microwave itself wouldn’t work and the plug had old grease stuck to it. The hairdryer was rusted and looked dusty and gross. Worst of all - there was feces on the side of the only roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. Since it was late at night we weren’t able to order a new roll to be delivered until the next morning. We also found one bath towel with a faint stain of blood. The bed was soft and creaky but still sleepable. The bedsheet however looked like it wasn’t changed as the middle part of the bedsheet was suspiciously wrinkly. Good thing I always bring my own now. All the tables and stools in the room seemed clean. The shower is super small and like others said it’s hard to even bend down and I’m a skinny girl. Also the water gets burning hot pretty quickly so be careful. It was easy to order amenities and the lodge is located near restaurants. It wouldn’t be my first choice to stay here again but it definitely wasn’t the worst stay I’ve had. It’s okay for the price.

The Yosemite Inn was a wonderful place to stay for 4 nights. The room was very clean, spacious with lots of open floor space and very quiet. We have never had a room that had so much good lighting. There were 3 chairs, two comfortable high backs and one good roller chair for the desk. A good size mini fridge and a microwave. Entry from the outside eased loading and unloading our bags. Very good choices for breakfast. The bakery muffins were to die for. Secure, private parking (free) surrounded by the inn on 3 sides and one wall with a row of beautiful cypress trees. Staff were super friendly and very accommodating. And all of this at an economical price point.

Facilities: Considered domestic 3-star hotel facilities Hygiene: Cleaning is relatively timely Environment: Convenient for travel and parking, about an hour's drive from Yosemite National Park

CCdiner beat me to it; it looks like we stayed there at the same time. The hotel is clearly understaffed and all the problems arise from there. Everything is dumped on the shoulders of the front desk employees, who are amazing, nice, hard-working people who now had to bend backwards answering phones, dealing with walk ins, putting together breakfast bags, exchanging laundry and towels, etc. But they only can be in one place at one time. No staff at the hotel from 8 pm to 8 am. Our second night someone was trying to get into our room at 2 am confusing it with their room. Our third night there from 1:00 to 2:00 am we heard a couple, first, arguing right outside, then one calling another into the room right at our door, then around 6 am the same couple had a fight, the lady was screaming, banging on the door, smashed the window of their room and took off. Again, no staff is present at those hours. Below is updated list of amenities and services with my comments on what you actually can expect: Property amenities Free parking: YES Free High Speed Internet (WiFi): YES Pool: YES Free breakfast: doggie bags with Nature Valley granola bar, bag of chips, bag of peanuts Baggage storage: probably Yes Non-smoking hotel: - theoretically, but not enforced. People smoke right outside the rooms. 24-hour front desk - NO Dry cleaning - NO - but makes sense due to Covid rules Room features Housekeeping: - NO - but makes sense due to Covid rules Telephone: NO Wake-up service / alarm clock: NO/YES Coffee / tea maker: Not sure Flatscreen TV: YES Bath / shower: YES Complimentary toiletries: YES Hair dryer: NO Room types: Non-smoking rooms - theoretically, but not enforced. People smoke right outside the rooms. Suites: NO HOTEL STYLE Quiet: Heck NO I want to finish what looks like a bad review with a huge thank you to the hotel staff on duty, who one person per shift juggles million things, trying to keep multiple balls in the air. Hotel Management - you need to do a better job.

Stayed in a 2 queen and sofa for $250. Pricey for what you get but your paying for the location. Was looking for a hotel close to Yosemite and this fit the bill. Yes, the wifi is non existent, but it’s the same in most of the area. The room is a basic hotel room. We stayed on the first floor and sometime around 11 pm someone started knocking on our door repeatedly. I didn’t open the door, but they knocked again about 5 minutes later. I just ignored it and they went away. It scared me, but the door was locked and dead bolted. The outside pool was really nice. More like a resort pool than a motel pool. Very large with lots of loungers
