We stopped at the Mariposa for one night in September, having first checked it out on TripAdvisor. Location is just a minute or two from the coast highway. Whole Foods is across the street. Motel was recently renovated. Office was small but full of color and tasteful furniture. The General Manager's objective was to add all of the nice touches... more

I stayed at the Mariposa Inn for two nights (11/9 and 11/10) with my family of four (including two teenagers) and we were all very happy with the property. We had a duplex room with a king bedroom upstairs and a separate room with murphy bed and a couch downstairs for the kids. There was plenty of space for everyone,... more

Very clean. Beds are comfortable. Heater worked great. Our room had a gas fireplace which added to the experience. All rooms were updated about a year ago. Continental breakfast was provided. Pool and jacuzzi were clean and operational, again a plus this late in the year. I had access to WiFi, but did not use. I came to decompress, which... more

My wife and I stayed at the Mariposa Inn for 1 night. It was generally a nice place to stay for a night. Below are a list of pros and cons. Just keep in mind that the number of pros and cons aren't meant to mathematically add up to the overall rating given above. Some items carried more weight than... more

Great value, $85 per night for double room. Rooms are clean and well designed. Ipod connection useful addition. Breakfast is continental, with a bagels, bread and danish patries to go with cereals and fruit. We liked the outside hot tub and heated pool. Only concern we had, rooms nearest the road suffer from some traffic noise, it's a main road... more

I booked at the last minute directly through the hotel website, which was advertising rooms for $99 a night - a steal, I thought, compared to the $200+ a night resort properties near the conference center, about 2 miles away. The $99 included a complimentary continental breakfast (cereal, danish, toast, bagels, fruit, granola, yogurt, juice - everything fresh and quickly... more

My husband and I loved this place! We only stayed one night but both left wishing we were staying longer. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. It always adds to the experience when people are cheery and greet you with a smile. Breakfast was far better than most "free" breakfasts that I have had. And the dining area was... more

Expectations were high because of its #1 rating and this did not disappoint. I wanted to book 2 similar rooms but ended up booking 2 different ones. One was with fireplace and another without since they only have one room WITHOUT fireplace (which are cheaper) available - I made reservations online. When we arrived we were given rooms with fireplace... more

Mariposa Inn is conveniently located to Fisherman's Wharf (five-minute drive) and to Carmel-by-the-Sea (approximately a ten-minute drive). The Del Monte Shopping Center is just across Munras Avenue from the Inn, if you need to grocery shop or catch an easy dinner at one of the higher-end chain restaurants (i.e. California Pizza Kitchen and P.F. Chang's). The rooms are clean and... more
