Pros (+) Convenient location, half-way between West and South entrance to Yosemite. Nice little town with food options. Quiet and clean rooms with good breakfast options (actually the best eggs I've had with these inclusive breakfasts).
Pros (+) Nice friendly staff. Generous sized rooms and vert clean.
Cons (-) Colour scheme of the walls could be better
Pros (+) Close to Yosemite, bed was comfortable.
Cons (-) Too expensive and the carpet needs to be replaced.
Pros (+) Clean, well maintained, friendly staff, continental breakfast well done, and multiple restaurants and cute stores within a few blocks walking distance.
Cons (-) Nasty carpet. Bad products. Bad breakfast. Not worth the money
Pros (+) Tidy overall. polyester bedding is not very comfortable. Hotel has good amenities just not high quality ones. Water pressure was not good. Breakfast was sufficient but definitely not exceptional.
Cons (-) Reasonable price. Plenty of family friendly amenities. Clean. Tolerable driving distance to Yosemite Valley. Free breakfast.
Pros (+) The hotel is located at the end of Mariposa and within walking distance from shops and restaurants. The hotel staff was fantastic. The ladies at the front desk were friendly and helpful when needed. At breakfast, although the room was packed, the crew kept the place clean and well stocked. Will stay again and recommend to others.
