Large and clean room. I was the only one on the second floor, room 214. With my window open, I was able to watch the black birds (crackles) trying to get into their nests in these tall skinny trees. Crazy bunch of idiots. The hotel is right across the street from the visitor center and bus stop, so you can... more

Not so great- small, nothing really to it, room might have frightened some people. 60's decor, everything quite old. Beds were uncomfortable. The room was clean, but the hotel is just like the town of Mariposa- not much to it, bland etc. If you plan to stay here and day trip into Yosemite, I suggest spending the extra money to... more

I have a hard time believing the other reviews for this hotel. I stayed here a couple of years ago and the entire stay was above average. The rooms were nice and clean, the a/c fully functionable and not loud at all, the pool was a nice addition to an already great hotel, the breakfast was good, the service was... more

We booked through seeing there misleading page linked from the Yosemite reservation website, be careful and read reviews before you book as the parks are not responsible for the pages, they just advertise possible places. EC Lodge was a lot further from Yosmeite than the impression the site page gives, it took us about an hour to get there and... more

Having just returned from our holiday felt I needed to warn other travellers not to bother with this establishment. Arrived after stated time of 5pm for check in? What sort of time is that to check in? On opening the room, it was freezing cold and had over whelming smell of dog pee. We went immediately to advise proprietor who... more

I stayed for two nights in June, 2006. The rooms are large but very basic. Free cable movie channels and big fridges in the rooms but the a/c was extremely loud. Older hotel. Cheap and affordable and that's what I was paying for but not much else for amenities. There was wireless internet which I was very surprised to find... more

It was "ick" at first sight...not a lovely hotel/motel from the outside. I wondered what we got ourselves into. Drove into the parking lot, and glanced at the pool on the right side. Commented to my wife: "It's slightly bigger than our bathtub!" Evening front desk clerk was not very friendly. Almost seemed annoyed that I interrupted her TV watching.... more

This was the only hotel near Yosemite we could find on short notice and if we hadn't been tired when we pulled up at about 7pm on the Saturday of our reservation we would have tried to get out of the reservation. Since the hotel still had rooms available when we pulled in, chances are a few others had this... more

I stayed at the EC Lodge over the Memorial Day weekend and was lucky to get a room at $56 + taxes. (booked 5 months in advance, other hotels were $90+) Pros: 1. Spacious rooms with microwaves and fridge. 2. Mariposa has a decent selection of restaurants and amenities, as opposed to other nearby park towns such as El Portal.... more
