Made reservation in January for kitchenette with continental breakfast. Arrived 8 months later. Never was told motel was being renovated. No kitchenette or breakfast available. Should have contacted me so I could make other arrangement. Refused any rebate. Told room provided had full-size fridge, but it didn't. No counter space beside bathroom sink. Very disappointed with accommodations! Staff friendly but not very helpful.

We will still stay. Lol

We stay at Mariposa over night on our way to Mexico. The restaurant is AWESOME and the rooms are cheap for 1 night to just eat and sleep but definitely not a place for anyone somewhat "higher maintenance". Seems like the toiletries are just left if not completely used, like second handish. It is quite though and so far the front desk people have all been super friendly.

We only stayed one night but the room was clean, and it was quiet. The lady at check-in was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was excellent, and the staff service was very friendly and attentive. The food was spot on, but a bit expensive.

It's a great place to stay, it's an older building, but it's well kept. Staff was friendly and helpful. They have a great steak restaurant called Caracu with an upscale menu. Guaranteed you'll enjoy.

Some good, some bad

The Mariposa is under repair. Stopped at 5 pm, did not start until after 8 am next day. Restaurant service sucked. We were seated then the waiter went off without a drink order or leaving a menu to wait on another table. After 15 minutes we left for another nearby restaurant (Ragazzi) where food and service were excellent.
