Hotel berhampiran Mariposa Grove Welcome Plaza, Mariposa County

The food at Jackalope was excellent. I had the rib-eye steak and it was perfectly cooked. My husband had the short ribs and they were absolutely amazing. Definitely 5-stars for the food and service. Although it was just my husband and me, I liked that they had a kiddie pool. All I could think of was my grandchildren enjoying playing in it all day. They also have three adult pools and jacuzzi. My only complaint is that we ran out of towels poolside. The facilities were clean and inviting. This was our first time staying at a hotel/lodge since COVID, so we discovered at Tenaya room cleaning is not automatic. If you want your room cleaned you have to schedule it 24-hours in advance. Read the fine print. Overall, it a great place to stay for visiting Yosemite.

We spent 4 nights here in Early Nov. and we had such a great experience! Our large 1 bdrm cabin was spacious and clean and had room to stretch out on a nice sofa with a coffee table. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics and there is even a really great sounding Bluetooth speaker. We loved the little desk area for plotting our travels in Yosemite. The welcome card has great little QR codes with links to sightseeing, local restaurants, and even a list of all the items you can find in their camp store. There were some vintage Saturday Evening Post magazines from the 60’s that were fun to flip through while sitting on our deck and enjoying a beverage from the adorable little camp store on the property. The little store has such a great curated selection of snacks and beverages and sundries and lots of little items that you might have forgotten to pack! We had beautiful weather (70’s day/40’s night) and we took advantage of the lovely hiking trails on the property and we used the complimentary bikes on the paved pathways that wind around the property beyond the clubhouse. They have several really interesting large sculptures and art pieces scattered around the grounds along the pathways to keep things interesting too! We saw so much wildlife on our excursions (even a cute little bobcat) and at night there was an amazing concert at the intimate little clubhouse music venue! The event was even catered with delicious dinner options and there is a bar with super friendly tenders keeping the party going during and after the show. Everything is really well thought out and organized and the staff are super friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to go back!

Best location! It was near and easy going around Yosemite park from this hotel. Right outside our room was the river and it was the best sight specially in the morning. Love the big bath tub with jets! Just needs more cleaning coz i noticed it has got molds already. There is absolutely no phone signal here and Wifi is not free so you have to purchase on check in. Funny tho coz once you are in Yosemite park, there is LTE signal. There is fridge, cooking utensils, electric stove, plates, cups, cleaning stuff, room was huge!! We got the 2 queen beds room type. The food in their restaurant is not so bad, the service could be better tho. Our food came super slow. There is plenty of parking space and its for free. I never get to try their pool and laundry facilities.

The service are friendly and they have a good bar within the hotel area. The server and the manager are very friendly too. The food was good 👍

CCdiner beat me to it; it looks like we stayed there at the same time. The hotel is clearly understaffed and all the problems arise from there. Everything is dumped on the shoulders of the front desk employees, who are amazing, nice, hard-working people who now had to bend backwards answering phones, dealing with walk ins, putting together breakfast bags, exchanging laundry and towels, etc. But they only can be in one place at one time. No staff at the hotel from 8 pm to 8 am. Our second night someone was trying to get into our room at 2 am confusing it with their room. Our third night there from 1:00 to 2:00 am we heard a couple, first, arguing right outside, then one calling another into the room right at our door, then around 6 am the same couple had a fight, the lady was screaming, banging on the door, smashed the window of their room and took off. Again, no staff is present at those hours. Below is updated list of amenities and services with my comments on what you actually can expect: Property amenities Free parking: YES Free High Speed Internet (WiFi): YES Pool: YES Free breakfast: doggie bags with Nature Valley granola bar, bag of chips, bag of peanuts Baggage storage: probably Yes Non-smoking hotel: - theoretically, but not enforced. People smoke right outside the rooms. 24-hour front desk - NO Dry cleaning - NO - but makes sense due to Covid rules Room features Housekeeping: - NO - but makes sense due to Covid rules Telephone: NO Wake-up service / alarm clock: NO/YES Coffee / tea maker: Not sure Flatscreen TV: YES Bath / shower: YES Complimentary toiletries: YES Hair dryer: NO Room types: Non-smoking rooms - theoretically, but not enforced. People smoke right outside the rooms. Suites: NO HOTEL STYLE Quiet: Heck NO I want to finish what looks like a bad review with a huge thank you to the hotel staff on duty, who one person per shift juggles million things, trying to keep multiple balls in the air. Hotel Management - you need to do a better job.

Good service.Nice and clean.Breakfast is good quality. Overall is good.

We did self check in since we arrived late on a night where temperatures were up to 90s. When we opened the door, the room felt like a sauna. It took about 2 hours to cool down the room using the very loud AC/fan. The room looked nice and comfortable but if you pay attention to details you’ll notice some things. The room had some small flies that were coming in from the door (there was an open gap at the top allowing bugs to come in). The microwave itself wouldn’t work and the plug had old grease stuck to it. The hairdryer was rusted and looked dusty and gross. Worst of all - there was feces on the side of the only roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. Since it was late at night we weren’t able to order a new roll to be delivered until the next morning. We also found one bath towel with a faint stain of blood. The bed was soft and creaky but still sleepable. The bedsheet however looked like it wasn’t changed as the middle part of the bedsheet was suspiciously wrinkly. Good thing I always bring my own now. All the tables and stools in the room seemed clean. The shower is super small and like others said it’s hard to even bend down and I’m a skinny girl. Also the water gets burning hot pretty quickly so be careful. It was easy to order amenities and the lodge is located near restaurants. It wouldn’t be my first choice to stay here again but it definitely wasn’t the worst stay I’ve had. It’s okay for the price.

We were there for Memorial Day weekend and we understood that yes, the rates were much higher than normal because it is a holiday. We accepted that fact and booked a room for one night. Warning… do not look under the bed. I had misplaced my slippers and looked underneath, I won’t even tell you what I found, nasty. Also there are no water drinking cups or glasses in the room not even the plastic ones. Their bar of soap was so ancient that I could not even make a little lather, bars were hard as rocks. When they say ‘breakfast included’,, don’t take it serious. Meager. The room had much to be desired, but the bedding was clean. Housekeeping ladies were helpful and front desk friendly, but would not stay there again. They deserve one and two stars at most.

Great place to stay when visiting Yosemite NP. Convenient location, easy to get into and out of and plenty of parking. Beds were comfortable, our daughter loved the pool, and the staff were helpful and nice. One minor complaint - Yosemite NP is extremely busy and you have to arrive at the park by 7:30am to be able to get a parking space in the valley. With Miners Inn a full 1-hr+ drive to the park, this meant that we never had a chance to try the included breakfast, which didn't start until 7am. Moving the breakfast start time to 6am would help Yosemite visitors tremendously. Other than that one issue, we were 100% satisfied with our stay.
