Good little stay
Cute little hotel, the owner was very nice and friendly, the bed was extremely comfortable. Bathroom could use a little updating, but that did not affect our state in anyway.

What a great stay!
Absolutely loved this adorable little inn! We were in room 9, on the backside of the house where they have check-in. Don’t let the idea of it being Mariposa’s oldest hotel scare you away - it has been updated, with much of its vintage charm left intact. Perfect location for walking to the cute little shops and restaurants downtown. My only reason for doing a “4” for “condition” was that the room’s door was a little hard to close, plus lugging suitcases up/down the wet patio steps was cumbersome. I would stay at this quaint little inn again in a heartbeat.

Not that great.
Although the room was adequate, I did not like the Motel. It needs to be refurbished.
It looks better on the pics on the app, than it does in person.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The room was very accommodating however the front door could use some weather strip updating. There is a large gap at the bottom and along the side allowing the cold air to enter which made it quite drafty.

Cute throw back hotel.
This is a super cute throw-back hotel. In general, it was very nice for a one night stay. The only things that were problematic for me were: the bed was not comfortable for me; and the toilet was so short that it hurt my knee getting on and off...think "deep squats". I wanted to love this place, but the bed would probably stop me from staying there again. The main street being torn up with construction, made it difficult to to get to the hotel, but that was not the fault of the hotel.

Derelict and run down.
We stayed here several times about 5 years ago. It was older but well maintained. Never again. Run down, dirty and when we got into bed we both rolled toward the center. Mattress should have been replaced. The walls had chipped paint. There was a big gap under the door to the outside where the door had rotted away. They tried to repair it with a piece of rubber on the threshold but the gap was was big enough for rodents to get in. The entire time there was no staff member on the premises. There was a chalkboard near the door with a name and room number and the key. The outside was not maintained. This place should be a tear down. We had reserved 2 nights but cancelled the second night due to the deteriorated condition. Hotels.com should consider removing this property from their listings.
