The Miner's Inn is our absolute favorite spot to stay when we visit Yosemite! We just got back…read morefrom a visit last week and plan on 2 more trips this summer. After booking our stay this time, we called with a few questions and were given helpful information from a couple friendly receptionists. Once we arrived, check-in was quick, and much appreciated since we were exhausted from hiking all day in Yosemite. We hadn't been to The Miner's Inn for over 10 years and we were pleasantly surprised to see the updated room that we received. It was nice and clean, had fantastic amenities (fireplace, jetted tub, and a larger than usual mini fridge), and the bed was comfortable for our stay. The breakfast offers plenty of wonderful options for all of the varied needs in our family. During our stay they had: waffles, toast/English muffin, biscuits & gravy, sausage, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, coffee, juice etc. it was always the perfect way to get started before an active day. We always travel there with a cooler and they had plenty of ice available as well. We prefer to take the 140 to enter Yosemite, so this gem before our drive along the Merced makes for the perfect stay!

We stayed at the Best Western in Mariposa for one night. The room and bathroom were clean, with…read morelots of soft, fluffy towels, and we appreciated the peaceful surroundings--a dragonfly even flew into the room, and we gently guided it out. The staff was kind and accommodating--they made sure we were on the bottom floor to help with our mom's mobility needs, which we really appreciated. We also got lucky with a parking spot right in front of our door, which made things easier, though there was only one official ADA space, located by the office--not near the rooms. The room itself felt small and crowded compared to the other hotels we stayed at. The check-in took a while due to only one person working the desk. Our biggest issue was the "drive-through breakfast" that was advertised. There were no signs, no setup, and no instructions--nothing to suggest breakfast was actually happening, and no one explained it during check-in. We ended up missing it completely. It's a decent stay if you just need a clean place to sleep, but if you're counting on clear amenities or reliable accessibility, this location may fall short.

Way Overpriced! This…read moreis the most overpriced lodging I think I have ever used. It's just an old motel with a large but dark and dingy room. I didn't even want to take a shower because it just looked dirty. There are no amenities to speak of, at least nothing that isn't standard anywhere else you might go. One good thing I will mention is that it was quiet when I stayed here. Maybe simply because I was lucky enough not to have an inconsiderate jerk next door with animals. It is "pet friendly" though so don't expect that to be the case if you stay at this place. At the end of the day, the price to stay here off-season was well over $200 for the night. The place should only be charging closer to $90 based on the condition of the room and the lack of amenities. Total ripoff.

I was really excited about this place. The photos and vibe on the website looked so nice!…read moreUnfortunately, what we got was not what was on the website. We were booked in suite 5, which does NOT look anything like the room shown on the website. It is old, dark and dingy. Even the front door lock was loose (as mentioned by another reviewer). I had made the reservations for my friend and me, and when we walked into suite 5, we both just deflated at how junky it looked. I wanted to show my friend how it didn't look anything like the website, but their internet didn't work at all until the next morning. The outdoor area is not lit up and welcoming, but dark and deserted. We made the best of it for that night, and in the morning, I contacted the owner via text. When I said that the room looked nothing like the rooms shown on the website, the reply was, "All of our rooms are different." So why don't they show photos of all of their rooms??? They offered to move us to another room, and I requested one that looks like the one on the website. They instructed me to find the key for suite 1, and that room was great! Looked just like the website, and was exactly what we were expecting. It was weird that this room was not rented out, but yet they didn't put us in that room in the first place. I later learned that we were charged $199 for the first night junky room, and $109 for the second night room that looked like the one on the website. That was contrary to what I remembered from the price listing on the website when I made the reservation, which I believe was $159 per night. But when you receive your confirmation email, there are no prices listed at all. I know it comes out to the same price, but it's very strange that the price/total isn't listed on your confirmation email. I would have asked if I had noticed it before we arrived. I really wanted to like this inn, but next time, I'll just stay in the heated cabins in Yosemite Valley for $155/night. The one-hour drive to the valley from this place wasn't worth it for us. If you're going to stay here, ask them specifically what room you will be in and if it's one that looks like the ones on the website. If not, consider staying elsewhere. Positive: the cafe is super cute with great coffee and food and nice people!

But even better, we ordered take out food every evening and brought it up to the patio to enjoy al fresco dining and wine.

I mentioned that I was looking forward to taking a nice long bath (little did I KNOW at that point that the rooms contain gigantic jacuzzi bathtubs!). The clerk said a glass of wine would go well with that. I asked, "Where can I buy wine?" Hee hee. It turns out, the gift store is like a Trader Joe's wine shop! They had a zillion choices! I selected a bottle of Chardonnay that I enjoy. Cost? FIVE BUCKS!!!! They even opened it for me. They had all kinds of very cool stuff to buy (including the basic stuff you always forget, like Tampons and Advil), but I resisted, until I saw their "sale" t-shirts. I got a very pretty peach colored "Yosemite" t-shirt, tastefully done with small flowers. Again--FIVE BUCKS! Much of the time, when staying at hotels, one can be sort of at their mercy if you want to buy something you forgot or purchase a souvenir. And usually if they have trinkets, they are horribly over-priced. But THIS store had it ALL, and they had DEALS. Oh! Yeah! They are open 24 hours too! What more do you WANT?
