    I was told this was where we were staying and by the rating, I was expecting worse. It's motel-y with all the room access outdoors. They offer free breakfast out of their breakfast room. The pool is heated but it didn't feel like it. There's a spa near the pool but there were always people in it. The room had a fridge and TV in it.. the toiletries like the lotion, shampoo, and conditioner were lined up on the counter but it was weird because there were multiple bottles of some. I think instead of leaving one full bottle of each, they left the bottles from previous tenants plus a new bottle. But the room was surprisingly decent than what I had expected per the yelp rating/reviews.

    be careful! you might drown with their massive deep pool!

    Ok... when you're desperate... you just have to suck it up. That's exactly what the S.O. and I did. We need a place to stay to survive a rafting trip as well as Yosemite... done. From the outside... it is really creepy. The parking lot is small and the spaces are tight. S.O. checked in and he came out with a remote that's wrapped in saran wrap... no joke! We walked in... surprisingly the room had a flat screen TV that's wall mounted so it can be viewed in different angles. But that's about the only good thing about this place... Bathroom: the toilet is freaking tall! My feet hangs like I'm twelve all over again! The shower head is for kids! S.O. and I aren't tall but we had to bow to make use of the shower! There is no hangers! None! So when you're down showering... where do you hang your towel to be "eco" friendly... by the shower rod and that metal atop the toilet. The AC kept breaking in and out... it was pissy. And yes... it's not cheap... it was pricey! Honestly, we know that it wasn't the Ritz but for the price that we paid, hangers would at least be nice? We passed by Super 8 and we were sad... it was that BAD.

    My reservation was made by hotel.com for three nights. The rooms are a good size unfortunately dirty. Our surprise was the second night, when we returned from the park and found the room not cleaned. I went to the Inn administration and the receptionist told me that no rooms had been cleaned that day because they were short staffed.  She was embarrassed but that didn't solve my problem, when I told her that at least provide us with clean sheets and towels for us to clean.  She offered to take out the trash and provided us with clean sheets and towels. Also informed us that she did not guarantee the room would be cleaned the next day and we were free to check out at the moment but they would not credit us on the last day. The receptionist was embarrassed. I told her, miss, it's not your fault. The staff is kind and friendly but that will not make me stay there again.  My eyes dropped when I saw behind the nightstand and there was dust and nails behind it. They also have a camera in front of the tv. Next time I'll have to do some research before reserving a room. I do not recommend this hotel even for free.

    I stayed here a few days after the 4th of July, I booked through hotels.com after reading all the glowing reviews and seeing beautiful images, they claimed a pool, spa, free breakfast ect. The room was a nice size and those images were accurate the rest of the property however was not as advertised. If I had read no pool and no breakfast I would have booked a different hotel, without amenities it was it was completely overpriced. I spoke to the front desk and the polite young woman said the manager would call me in the room shortly. 2 hrs later no call, as I was checking out the clerk told me there would be a 10% discount applied for the lack of access to the pool and breakfast. What a joke, it was a 105 degree day and a dip in the pool was what I was there for. When I returned how I saw that I was not given a 10% discount but charged an additional $300 !! I called to ask why I was double charged and the clerk told me it was a cleaning fee because the room smelled like smoke... we had a baby in the room and we are both non smokers!! When I went to do a review on the Hotels.com site I found no way to actually leave a review and all the reviews there were only the positive ones. Shame on you Yosemite Inn for your lack of hospitality, your lies and deception. I cannot recommend anyone to stay here.

    I HATE YOU, yosemite inn!!! The staff is very unfriendly. Even after numerous reviews about bed bugs, there are still very VICIOUS BED BUGS there as I fell victim. There is also limited parking for the number of rooms there. P.S. YOU ruin my date night. I look like I've been beat by a baseball bat at my legs while overall recovering from chicken pox...what the flip?!?

    Attack of the crazy bed bugs!!!

    We stayed at Yosemite Inn for one night since a couple of the major roads to Mammoth were closed due to weather. Unfortunately there is minimal cell internet connection while driving around Yosemite and we quickly just pick this location since it's a relatively close drive back to Yosemite Valley and the price is reasonable except for the fact they charge you $8 for wifi and you will need it since there is no reception in the inn. Upon entering the room, everything look fairly standard and relatively clean. I did find a stray hair in the tub, which was a bit disgusting but otherwise was clean to the naked eye so I just rinsed the one bit of hair down the drain. However when I decided to use the microwave, the unit was not cleaned and slightly oily around the front panel. The inside smelled heavily of left over cinnamon buns... gross... It was getting late and we were exhausted from driving around the block roads so I had little energy to complain and after getting cleaning up, went to bed. Woke up the next day, prepared for another day's adventure. There was a minor itch but I didn't think much of it and left... this is the mistake... after getting home, the bed bug bites really started to flare up and become unbearably itchy. We called the Inn and asked for a manager only to be told he would not be back for a couple of days. I present the situation to the clerk over the phone and although he was calm the whole time, he immediately dismissed our bed bug bites as something we got while hiking. I explained that the bites occurred only where skin was exposed so both feet, arms and face! How is that possible!@#&@!! Check out the photos! After a couple days, I called back to see if the manager "Emjay", not exactly sure how to spell his/her name, but was then told the manager would not be back for a few weeks! A female clerk then proceeded to say the same thing, and that since we didn't report it when we left there is nothing they can do. She continued the conversation essentially saying whatever she told her manager, would be final so there is not point in waiting or speaking with Emjay. I already knew this would likely happen so just had our credit card company reverse the charge especially once I saw reviews here on Yelp and TripAdvisor, I knew our case isn't an isolated incident... I'm not saying every room is bad, but if you decide to stay here, be diligent and check the beds for bugs. It's absolutely torturous to get these bites and then try to not scratch at them as it will cause permanent scaring. Plus, getting bite on the face is not fun... once the bites flare up, everyone will just stare at you thinking it's potentially an infectious disease.

    This was a pretty miserable stay. My brother in law had reserved a room for me so I could be up with the family for Thanksgiving. The first and worst problem is that the owners are extremely rude. They are foreign and have a bad attitude towards people that are their guests. The woman who ran my brother in law's card apparently didn't do it right. I had been in my room for 2 minutes when the manager banged on my door and told me that the card didn't work. I told him that my bil did it and what room he was in and to take it up with him. He walked away and just said go get him. So we did, and they ran the card correctly. No apologies or anything. My TV did not work but I wasn't going to call and ask them to fix it after how rude they already were. My shower leaked and so was loud all night. The ac randomly turned itself on through the night, even though I had shut it off. So I was woken a few times by that. Now I see why it was unplugged when I got there. The walls had scratched paint everywhere that there was furniture. The towels were ripped and very scratchy. The furniture was stained. They had a hair dryer but it wasn't mounted and the cord was in the sink, possible safety hazard. I had read there were bedbugs in other reviews. I got lucky in that regard. However, my sister and her newborn baby both got bit multiple times.

    I booked 2 nights here for a quick Yosemite getaway with 3 others. It isn't typically the type of place i would give 4 stars too, but given the other reviews on this place, I nada fine time here with zero problems and would stay again. I originally booked it bc we decided at the last minute for a New Years in Yosemite, and this place has a room available with 2 queen beds for a total of $256 for 2 nights. Bam.. Booked it. As we were driving out and getting closer, my copilot looked up the reviews and read bed bugs!!! We freaked out, tried cancelling the reservation but couldn't bc it was already 5 hours after check in time. We tried to book elsewhere bit everything was full. We were about to make plans to sleep in the car closer to Yosemite bc we did NOT want bed bugs!! When we checked in, we asked the guy at the desk if he had resolved the bed bug issue. He went on about it being lies and said if we had a problem with the room we could cancel at no charge. So we hesitantly walked in and immediately started searching the sheets, even lifting mattresses, the place was spotless. We found absolutely nothing wrong. We unpacked, settled in, the beds were comfy, sheets were very nice, the shower was hot. The heater fired up and the fridge was Ice cold. If you're looking for a spectacular room with amazing views, keep looking. There is nothing spectacular about this place, but for what it is, this is as good as it gets. The price is right. It's located at the east end of Mariposa which is a super adorable little town. We ate breakfast at the sugar pine before our hike which was awesome! And then we had lunch there the following day after checking out. Did a little wine tasting at the place down a couple blocks. Had a pizza delivered to the room. The 4 of us really enjoyed our stay in Mariposa and we were perfectly happy with the Yosemite inn.

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.

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.

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.
