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!

For the price of $112 for one night with two beds our stay was pleasant. Everything was clean but the coffee wasn't all that tasty compared to what I've been getting at home. The parking doesn't allow you to drive forward and exit out in the same direction. You have to back up and be careful lest you hit something but other than this our experience was nice.

Fantastic check in procedure being able to turn up when we liked and see our room number on the chalk board. No need to worry about getting there for a certain check-in time.
Ample parking on site included in the price.
Lovely and clean, spacious accommodation with really comfortable beds. We all said just how comfortable the beds were.
Highly recommended. Would definitely stop here again!
