"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...

Top Merced River Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Yosemite View Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We upgraded to a riverside king and we were thrilled with the view and the sound of rushing water. We found it so relaxing sitting on our deck. This room had a stove top and a well appointed kitchen. Extremely convenient! The restaurants on the grounds were surprisingly not too busy. Really don't understand why as the food was really good. Lots of pool and hot tubs on the property that were well maintained. Great views!"

Cedar Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a bit more remote from Yosemite park, but at the point we stayed there we were ready for a quieter location. The picnic, beach area across the street from the hotel was amazing! Such a peaceful place to relax and take in the views. The restaurant and bar both served great food. Room was clean, comfortable."

Miners Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Especially clean and convenient to get to from highway."

River Rock Inn

8/10 Good

"This was a good value motel in a cute little town with many fun options for food! The check in process was easy. We had selected to pay at the property when we booked so check-out was confusing as there were no workers there and no one responded to messages. Walking through the room without socks left our feet a little dirty, otherwise the room was clean. The only thing we were highly unsatisfied with was the shower. The hot and cold knobs were opposite of normal sides and it was very touchy and confusing to figure out. The hot water only lasted halfway through washing my hair and it was so tiny you could hardly move with no shelving to put your bottles. Besides that, it was a good stay!"

Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Super cute spot, near Yosemite. Wish I could have stayed longer"

Red Bud Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Red Bug Lodge is a basic property, it is clean and the beds are really comfortable it also has a small kitchenette. It is only a 12 min drive to the gate at Yosemite which is why we chose it. It is expensive for what it is but all the accommodation near the Park is expensive. I would say overall good value for its location."

Mariposa Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and rooms were clean and priced per the market and time of year."

Trabucco Gardens - Yosemite Gold Country Stargazing Retreat!

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the cabin, especially the porch with the peaceful view. We had everything we needed, the kitchen is small, but clean and easy to work in. Mike was a great host!"

Wildhaven Yosemite Glamping

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Wildhaven Yosemite. The service was amazing, and everything was very clean and well maintained. I was especially impressed with how clean the bathhouse was. Such a great experience—we would definitely stay here again."
