    I have a dust mite allergy and had a pretty bad reaction staying here! Bring your Zyrtec

    Stain and mold on the ceiling
    Gina H.

    Pro: None. Con: Mold on the bathroom ceiling. The wall is so thin, not only you can hear the flush or shower from the other rooms, you can hear their fart, and the sound of the poop dropping. When people shower, it's so loud, it literally feels like you're in the same room as them. The soap is so thin, it broke apart. You would think they'll give you more if you have 4 guests. The towels have the smell like when you've left them in the closet for a very long time. It has the texture of something you haven't use in a very long time. The water pressure from the shower head is minimal. The iron is actually located under the sink. Why is it under the sink. And there's no ironing board. The breakfast is free because there was no breakfast!!! Same goes for the Wi-Fi. THE FRONT DESK IS CLOSE FROM 10pm-6AM.. There's nobody to complain to about the noise from the other guest. I'm staying on the first floor, I had to go to 2nd floor to request the guest to tell their children to stop jumping. Even after the father apologized, The noise continued until morning. Outside it looks pretty, but inside is garbage. The service is garbage, and structure is garbage. The internet is garbage. 90% is cannot connect and 10% wifi connection status is at 14% Even just depending on your mobile data requires you to step outside the street to get a connection. See below for all the pictures I've taken. The wifi is disable after 10pm. Nobody can connect, I've confirmed this with other guests. No way to call the front desk, obviously since not a single employee is here. The next morning, there's not a single employee in the whole building. The sign closed 10pm-6amon the front desk is still there untouched. Every guest was expecting for breakfast and nothing is available. The place is deserted. I had to call Hotel.com and they had to contact the owner directly!! And I was informed that he is coming to the Inn immediately. Hotels.com gave me a compensation in a form of a coupon. Wtf.. What am I going to do with a coupon when in fact I am not planning to stay in the this place again. We've waited for another hour and owner nor any employee including manager, receptionist or a single house keeper has come to work. I don't want to waste my time any longer, so I went to Yosemite and will speak to the owner when I come back. After speaking with the booking company, I have informed other frustrated guest to do same thing as well. This company should get shut down or at least severely penalized for violation codes of leaving thr facility unattended, unsafe operations and mistreatment of all guests. We came back at 7pm and the same sign 10pm-6am is still there. LAUGHABLE on how this city was able to give this establishment permission to operate. Talked to Roger, who is the manager of the Inn, - before my check out. And point out all the things that I mentioned above. I asked him why the wifi was disabled and his response was "we guarantee our internet is working" . Which I response that has nothing to do with anything because disabling the Wi-Fi means someone manually have to go in the router address and disabled the Wi-Fi option inside the hub. He claims that he has over 10 years experience working in a hotel, yet he has no knowledge of the rules and regulations of how to operate it. and he tried to associate something with me by saying he lives in San Francisco?! which is bags of doodoo because why would you live in San Francisco and drive 4 hours to Mariposa to work for a hotel when San Francisco has a higher wage than any other city outside of San Francisco County, not to mention commute time. that alone is a lie. Do not come here and if you are a previous guest of this place. I would recommend to go to Mariposa County website and report them to the city council for malicious behavior.

    Mostly unremarkable. Comfortable and adequate rooms. Wouldn't stay more than 1 night and there's better choices in town that this place.

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!

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.

    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!

If so, it deserves a raise!
