5-Star hotel all the way around from staff to rooms to parking to location. Yes, it is an older hotel. It has no elevator yet three floors, but the build in the parking situation, even if you’re staying on the third floor, will only have you walking up one flight of stairs. So if you are challenged in that respect, you better get first floor room. My dealings on the way via telephone, and at check-in we’re with Jennifer. Jennifer is the sunshine in Mariposa and at that hotel. So forthcoming so upfront so friendly so professional. Jennifer you said an exceptional tone for that hotel and it carried through to the rest of the staff. Everyone that works there is amazing. The breakfast area, located in a separate Billing over by the pool. Offers a breakfast you will not believe. Choice, choice, choice, something for everyone, and tasty. The rooms are exceptionally clean and well kept everything isn’t working order. No stone unturned, a great hotel. Will I stay there again or will I send family and friends to stay there most certainly. If I go back to Mariposa, the best western will be the place that I will stay. It is convenient to the small downtown area is eclectic. Mariposa is a beautiful place to stay at so far as a gateway to Yosemite. It is the place place to stay.

A nice stay in Mariposa while visiting Yosemite

My husband and I spent 3 nights at this hotel in June and were very happy with our choice. We wanted a place close enough to Yosemite to allow us to visit the park for two full days in a town with amenities such as shops and restaurants. We found the hour-long drive to and from the park to be an easy and enjoyable trip, and took different routes on the two days (entering at El Portal on one day and at the southern gate on the other) which allowed for different perspectives of the park. We found the BW to be clean and comfortable and we had a very nice room on the second floor which was quiet. The folks at the front desk were helpful and pleasant, and the breakfast had both hot and cold offerings served by efficient staff. We would recommend this hotel and the town of Mariposa to travelers to the Yosemite area.

We stayed here June 2024 while visiting Yosemite NP. This hotel was just ok with nothing special. Our room was fine, and it was clean. Included breakfast was standard, nothing bad or outstanding. Rather disappointed that the pool was out of order during our stay. Temperatures were near 100 and the pool would have been nice after a long day of hiking in Yosemite. We did not get any notice that the pool was not open, and we did not get any kind of price adjustment for the pool being closed. We probably would not stay here again.

Above and beyond our expectations! If you are looking for a clean hotel with friendly, helpful staff, this is it. Pros - Keurig coffee maker in room; remodeled bathroom; cleanliness; comfortable bedding; A/C quiet and efficient; complimentary breakfast with sufficient choices; water/juice /coffee dispenser in the lobby available all day; plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance (including a grocery across the street); daily housekeeping. Cons - really nothing, other than it was further from Yosemite than we expected ( but this was probably our fault for not doing better research!).

Just a perfect experience for the price. Nice people and great breakfast to go with it. Location was easy to find as well.
