This is a great place to stay, we arrived on Saturday at 2:30 pm and were welcomed and honestly after a long drive it was nice to come to a confortable bed. The room was clean, it smelled clean, there was enough towels and every thing else needed for a confortable stay (extra pillows and blankets) oh and let’s not forget the breakfast, we enjoy the coffee, sausage, toast, fruit and waffles. I would highly recommend this place if your ever in Mariposa CA.

A surprisingly nice hotel, I thought it would be older and worn out but it was comfy. I would say the best surprise was that our room had a good size fridge. The pool was nice and the continental breakfast was also really delicious. The rooms doesn't smell like a smokers room. The one con is that they charge extra for pets if you bring a pet it will be $100, no smoking or you will get charged $250 cleaning fee. We didn't add the kids to the original booking and they charge us extra $10 to add them to the booking (2-2 Queen beds room original booking)

We chose Miners Inn for a Yosemite visit as the most affordable of the accaptable-looking hotels close to the national park. It's a large motel with an attached breakfast area and souvenier shop. The staff was friendly and they honored my request for a quiet room on the top floor (thanks!). The room itself was a bit old, but generally clean. The fridge is a nice touch, although unfortunately it's quite noisy and very close to the beds. Breakfast was fine, with boiled eggs, sausages, "biscuits and gravy" (what a weird invention, never heard about it before), yoghurt, and the pancake machines. Altogether our stay was fine, the room was more expensive than similar category accomodation in other parts of the South-West, but this is true for all of Mariposa, being close to the super popular Yosemite NP.

Very comfortable spacious room, lots of easy parking, good continental breakfast, amazing kind staff. This Inn has some years on it, but adds to the charm. Loved it being close to Yosemite. Easy drive to the park along the 140 (takes 45 min -1hr). And less than a mile to several eateries and shops. Would stay again!

I love staying at Miner’s Inn when I come to Mariposa to visit family. We were in the Fremont building and on the first floor but I was pleasantly surprised that I did not hear any of the guests above us or next to us. I traveled with my 6 month old and he was able to sleep just fine. The only think I would say needed improvement was the shower pressure. We were really far from the lobby as well, but it was not a big deal. My boyfriend and I love the hospitality that Dallas has shown us as well and we look forward to talking to her whenever we go. We will be back soon for sure

Great getaway spot for anyone living in the Central valley. Check out the suites during offseasons... king size bed, fireplace, and jetted bathtub, with a patio for smokers.

We had been driving for 8 hrs & stayed here our last night of our vacation. When we were checking in, the woman at the desk threw out a disclaimer. PGE was doing a planned shut down of this little town. We had until 5:00 to charge our phones. So, the entire town shut down & it was a little creepy. The motel is old, cabin like, but very clean. It would have been great if the entire town wasn't shuttered. This motel overlooks Mono Lake.
