Our room was very clean and the bed extremely comfortable! The bathroom was also spacious which I appreciated. This property is located right in town and very walkable to restaurants and shopping. If visit Mariposa again, I would certainly stay at River Rock again.

We weren’t sure on driving up, but liked the spacious room and quiet. Within easy walking distance of a BBQ place, tap house, and ice cream shop :) Had a very nice patio area to enjoy in the evening, and a coffee shop on site (but not open Sun/Mon). Would definitely stay here again!

Everything was fantastic, except for the shower water. It kept switching between cold and hot automatically, which made my shower at the end a contrast. Love the complimentary bath toiletries and clean sheets with quiet area.

Disliked: Amenities
Great location! Laborday weekend Sunday- Monday! Downtown safe all that great! Cons- staff didn’t pick phone calls or return messages. Hot water stopped for shower after 5 min max- noisy room from plumbing piping who knows - old building decently clean with tiny shower. It was a single room! Unfortunately, not a good night rest due to the noise from the pipes and other appliances in the room.

This is a quaint inn, with apartment like rooms. We encountered no staff onsite but were given directions on how to check in on our own. Rooms were a bit warm when we arrived, no AC had been running.

Historic Hotel

This property is historic therefore bring your patience. The hotel was built in the 1940s and you can tell by everything being small. What is Really nice is the outside sitting area. Grab a book out of the room and a cappuccino from the coffee shop. If you need handicap accessable then this hotel is not for you. The coffee shop also has light food menu.

The room is vintage and well maintained. I love the decorations in the room. However we discovered a few ants under the coffee machine and in the bathroom. The water stream of the hand wash tap was very small. The location is good with ice cream shop and supermarket.
