"We were looking for a place to stay for a trip to Yosemite. My number 1 priority in a hotel is cleanliness. The other hotels in the area didn’t get great ratings on this. 5th Street Inn had very high ratings on cleanliness so we booked a weekend with them and we were not disappointed!! It was immaculately clean, beds were super comfortable and we had a great stay! The town of Mariposa is a delightful small town with anything you could possibly need and 5th Street Inn is right in the heart of...

"Felt like a home away from home. Every one was very helpful and very friendly"

The Yosemite Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Property was very clean and nice. Bed was very comfortable. Air conditioning worked and shower pressure was good as well. Kathy (manager) was very wonderfully helpful. My wife left her necklace which we didn't realize until 2 days after checking out. After calling, Kathy worked with her cleaning staff to inspect the room we were in multiple times and calling us to check with us until they finally found the necklace. She then helped coordinate shipping it back to us. She really saved us and cannot thank her and her staff enough!! Also worth nothing: very close to grocery stores (Pioneer Market and High Country Health Foods). Favorite coffee suggestion was Sticks Coffee. Sticks Coffee was very good third wave style coffee shop with really a amazing espresso/americano."

Rodeway Inn Near University-Gateway to Yosemite

8/10 Good

"Check in was easy as well as parking. The room was a little stuffy when we walked in and it took a little bit to get rid of the lingering odor after we turned the AC on. The bathroom was a different story. It reeked of mold. I opened the window for a little while to make it a little more bearable. The outside of the shower definitely had visible signs of mold, and the floors were not cleaned properly. I noticed quite a few strands of long black curly hair throughout the bathroom floor and in the shower (I have straight red hair). The shower itself also felt very flimsy. The floor kept making a weird popping noise when it was stepped on. The bed was also not that comfortable but overall, we had a bed to sleep in and a place to shower however, don't think I'll be staying here again."
