About

Best Western Plus Yosemite Way Station Motel sits in Mariposa, a common overnight stop for travelers heading into Yosemite National Park. The property carries a 4.1-star rating from more than 1,280 reviews, with guests consistently pointing to the free hot breakfast, free parking, and clean, comfortable rooms as the reasons they'd book again.

Amenities

Rooms include free Wi-Fi, and the motel puts out a free hot breakfast every morning — reviewers suggest getting there early since there's only one waffle maker, and one guest recommends the yogurt with granola if you want something quick. A seasonal outdoor pool and a hot tub round out the property, and parking is free.

Good to know

Guest experiences vary. Most reviewers describe friendly front-desk staff, comfortable beds, and a genuinely useful hot breakfast, and call the location convenient for a Yosemite trip. One vegetarian guest noted the breakfast was short on hot food and condiment options for their diet, so it's worth checking what's on offer if you have dietary restrictions. A smaller number of reviews flag maintenance issues — one guest reported a stubborn shower faucet, a loud air conditioning unit, and mosquitoes in the room — so it's worth asking to switch rooms if anything feels off at check-in. Reviewers also note that restaurants near the motel tend to run pricey, and recommend the local taco trucks as a cheaper alternative.

By far the most terrible hotel I have ever stayed in. The air conditioning makes an extreme amount of noise, but you can't turn it off because then the room gets extremely hot within 5 minutes. The shower is one of those bathtub-showers with a shower curtain where you have to duck to stand under it. After you've showered, the entire bathroom is soaking wet. The hairdryer is terrible. The breakfast is absolutely ridiculous. No cheese, no croissants, frozen butter that you can't spread, and very nasty coffee. I think they even have cheese at breakfast in a hotel in Uganda. Additionally, the pool was out of order. You pay expecting a pool that isn't there. One of the two ice machines is broken, and to top it all off, there is a sign by the washing machines saying "ask for change at reception," but when you do that, they tell you to just walk across the street. Stay away from this motel.

The room was a bit dated but clean. The staff was pleasant. Hot and cold drinks were available at reception. Breakfast was adequate. The pool was currently out of order.

Don't expect that you get, what you payed for. Pool and Dryers out of service. Gym not at all a gym.
