The hotel

Gold Country? Yosemite? Cutesy Mariposa itself? Whatever your excuse for visiting the region, Best Western Plus Yosemite Way Station acts as an ‘access all areas’ base. Right on Highway 140, it’s near Mariposa’s dining and shopping, and within two miles of California Mining and Mineral Museum and the History Center’s gold panning, a throwback to the gold rush days. Keep driving and you’ll arrive in Yosemite National Park, just over 30 miles from the hotel, or Sierra National Forest, a little further away. Before you head out each day, fill up with hot breakfast treats, waffles, muffins, and naughty pastries. And, when you get back, you can make the most of the tennis courts, complimentary WiFi and seasonal swimming pool and hot tub.

Had a nice room, road noise wasn't as bad as when I reviewed it in 2014. Continental breakfast was one of the best I've had at a Best Western, with a nice big variety to chose from. Will stay here again while visiting friends in the area. Easy walk in to town.

I work youth sports. Unfortunately I got the game in Mariposa. I live almost 4 hours away and I had to go up there to do a youth football game so in seven getting home at one in the morning I just had to spend the night at the hotel.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel. The person at the front desk was nice and friendly. We really liked the convenience of having a small dog park right next to the hotel. The room was clean. It was good to have a full breakfast included. I would stay at this hotel again if I were in the area in the future.
