My wife and I were touring California and were on a fly drive. We stopped 1 night at this Best Western in Mariposa on our way to Yosemite National Park and San Francisco as I mentioned in the title, it was perfectly acceptable as long as you are not disabled. (see the picture of the stairs). The hotel was built... more

Stayed 2 nights. Big clean room. Comfortable bed. Traffic noise in the morning as we were facing the road - it's quieter facing the back. Surprisingly poor breakfast for the room price, cheaper Best Western motels can be much better. Watery orange juice and one morning not even any waffles or eggs, poor selection of cereals and only one jam... more

We booked this on basis of it being "near" Yosemite but it is a good hour to the south entrance so 2 hours to the village. I like to stay in my fancy places but do not mind staying in cheap hotels and motels as long as they are clean and convenient and this was neither. The room smelled very... more

This was our second visit to this hotel having stayed here a few years ago. We choose it for it's proximity to Yosemite and reasonable price. Previously we'd prepaid for the room but this time Expedia said we had to pay on arrival. The clerk at reception when presented with our booking details refused to honour the rate quoted by... more

Overall, you're gonna pay too much for this room ... you're paying for the location. But the big problem here was mold & mildew. It was immediately noticeable in the lobby, and it was worse in the baths of the rooms. There was mold & mildew in the grout and on the walls. Ventilation was not adequate. Although I would... more

We arrived at about 6 pm, and our room was ready and waiting for us. The room was newer, clean, and roomy enough to accomodate the 2 queen beds, the two of us and our two bikes (with a little furniture re-arranging). The staff was quite friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast was average/usual (danish, waffles, hard boiled eggs, etc), but... more

Traveling to California; stayed 3 nights here, to visit Yosemite NP. I'd give this BW about a 6 rating out of 10... Once again, a word of caution to those with lots of bags...no elevators here! So ask for a ground floor if that may be an issue for YOU! Got a great lead on a place to eat from... more

Mariposa is one of the villages with accommodations and restaurants closest to Yosemite National Park. Nevertheless, its hotel situation is limited. The Yosemite Way Station is an interesting hotel. Its exterior appearance is very much early 1960s. That's a long time ago! I was apprehensive. Check-in, however, was very pleasant. The hotel appears to be family run (?) and they... more
