"We stayed with 2 kids and enjoyed the BBQ outside. There is a store named Pioneer nearby and we bought some food and water and beers."

"Excellent base for exploring Yosemite and Sequoia Redwoods and Kings Canyon parks along with the town of Mariposa itself. Easy parking, Wifi and good breakfast. The small area of note was the cleaning product smell in the room (possibly carpet cleaner?) but overall we had a great stay."

"Great lodging option for Yosemite State Park visiting"

"The room was small, but the bed was comfortable, had amenities like hair dryer, microwave, & a coffee maker. It was also clean & quiet."

"I've stayed many times at this charming, revamped original Art Deco property. Staff is amazing! They always anticipate the needs of the customer and are generally pleasant. The hotel is super clean. Also, you cannot put a price on safety, and this establishment does not skimp on safety. Valet is such a convent way to park. El Capitan offers fine dining AND a bar located inside. When locals chose to dine at the restaurant- you know the food will be good. There is so much to do within walking distance from the hotel. Pets are welcomed as well. El Capitan feels like an expensive boutique hotel with the down-to-earth customer service you would expect from the Central Valley. I highly recommend staying at El Capitan Hotel for Yosemite needs, as Merced is the "gateway to Yosemite". "

"The desk person (Jessika) was helpful and fantastic, as was the person (Kit) working at breakfast. Really appreciated their great attitudes and kindness. "

"Staff was very nice. If we had any issues they took care of everything right away. "

"The security was great."

"Great option to stay before/ while visiting Yosemite. I felt very safe and the area is beautiful. We would have stayed multiple nights. Clean rooms, basic breakfast and customer service. "
