LONNIE - 6.0Scored 6.0
The place had Tesla fast charging stations.
The place had Tesla fast charging stations. The property was old but clean. The carpet could use a deep clean. The room had a balcony with a table and some chairs great for drinking with friends or just hang out and relax while looking out the river. The room was really big and spacious with a ref, stove top, coffee maker and some cooking and serving utensils. Actually the property was decent but with no cellular coverage (Tmobile), wifi should have been readily available. Here you have to pay through a 3rd party. Sad! So it’s not great for virtual meetings and stuff.Ma JuneUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
The location and staff were excellent!!
The location and staff were excellent!! The room was clean, the amenities were great as well, the only problem was our TV. Maintenance couldn’t fix it so they gave us the internet for the TV the first night to remedy the situation which was amazing but not the second night which put a damper on things with no Tv to relax the second night.Lisa - 8.0Scored 8.0
The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite.
The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite. The room was good. The Pizza restaurant was good. We didn't like having to book room service (towels etc and coffee for room) on a daily basis. In our opinion is a throwback to Covid pandemic days, as a management policy to save money not support the customer.MikeUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Close to Yosemite park entrance, just a short drive.
Close to Yosemite park entrance, just a short drive. Mildly wild river behind the hotel is great. We ate mostly in Yosemite park (very nice dinner at Yosemite Valley Lodge Mountain Dining Room and a great lunch at Ahwahnee hotel bar).

Stunning location with great views.
Stunning location with great views. Times quoted for fitness room and swimming opening did not happen. Rooms spacious with good facilities but all looked rather shabby and dated. Rooms need a makeover. Balcony view was amazing.

- 7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,915 reviewsQuiet! The other people staying at this hotel were quiet, respectful, and I suspect everyone was there to go in to Yosemite for daytime hikes. We were close to the highway in front of the hotel, but car traffic was minimal to none between 8pm-10am. Pillows were great. Plenty of hot water for showers. Bath towels were thick and high quality. Black out curtains kept light out and the air conditioner wasn’t too loud. Easy check in/out, convenient small store for buying snacks, hats souvenirs, etc.JenniferUnited States
- 7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,915 reviewsWe liked everything. The carpark is very big. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. There are 2 swimming pools, the river is across the road from the hotel. Loads of little cosy places to picnic and relax. Only 30 min from Curry Village and all the hikes. The hotel has its own shop and little restauration place. I could go on and on and on. We will definitely stay there again. The pictures do not do justice to this place. It is truly unbelievable a hidden gem in the heart of Yosemite.
FlorianeIreland - 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 118 reviewsClean, basic, easy check-in at Cedar Lodge. Hot tub is fantastic. Festoon lights are a nice touch. One car space. Located OUTSIDE Yosemite NP, it can be a quick 30 minute drive to the entry gate if you leave early each day (between 6am & 8am). One day we left at 10.15am and it took a full 3 hours in a crawling queue of traffic just to reach the park gate. This was late May, Memorial Day weekend. Big fridge/freezer.

- From € 381.76 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,290 reviewsThe bed was very comfortable, the location was excellent not far from the gate to Yosemite and there was the gorgeous Merced River running right behind the hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I have a disability and was appreciative of the room close to the elevator. There were restaurants in the facility which, although pricey, were the only restaurants for miles so quite necessary.
DanaUnited States - 7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,915 reviewsThe location really is stunning amazing. So close to Yosemite entrance it's very hard to beat without being actually in the park. Due to having a bit of a disaster with our luggage on our flight we didnt get to the hotel until 2am but they the staff were still around and we were able to check in. The pool was nicer than I had thought. I liked the balcony on our room overlooking the green mountains.LydiaUnited Kingdom
- 7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,915 reviewsThis property is in a great location for Yosemite National Park. The room was clean and comfortable. Food in the bar was absolutely fine. There is a little shop off the reception where you can get simple groceries. Or there is another store about 4 miles up the road towards the park. You can get fuel there too.
AILSAUnited Kingdom - 7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,915 reviewsWe stayed in a renovated room which was very clean, comfortable, and large enough for two people. The hotel has great amenities with a general store on site with helpful staff, and two restaurants that are good enough. The location is fantastic, only 30mins from Yosemite Valley.
