The space inside the lodge and there was 4 toilets. The location was at 6000 feet so maybe not for everyone but I enjoyed it a lot.

Excellent location. Restaurant and Pizza Parlor on site.
Excellent location. Restaurant and Pizza Parlor on site. Plenty of parking. Store well stocked with a variety of items. Best of all staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay again in the future.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.

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.

- From £222.06 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,924 reviewsIt was a great value with the quality evening time. In November, it’s getting dark early, so parents face a problem: how to keep kiddos entertained without much hassle and expense. In Cedar lodge, they have an indoor pool and a game room with table tennis, board games, and more. Truth be told, I had some hard time trying to keep them outside, as they were eager to go back to the hotel’s game room! And the location is very close to Yosemite national park. Also, I liked the lighting around the outdoor pool and the area next to the riverDDmitryUnited States
- From £222.06 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,924 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 - From £349.47 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,258 reviewsThe balcony in our room was spacious with a wonderful view of the river. Our room - and bathroom - was big enough for 4 adults. The small kitchen area with refrigerator, toaster, coffee machine, utensils and stove top was an added bonus as we were able to prepare breakfast, keep food and drinks cold and heat leftovers. The hotel was well located in a scenic area of the park and about a half hour drive from the well visited Yosemite Valley center.StefanGermany
- 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.
OliviaAustralia - From £222.06 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,924 reviewsVery pleased with location (just 6 miles from Yosemite NP) and room. Frankly, we don't understand why some had given this hotel low marks. Our room was clean, had plenty of space, a small fridge, good beer on tap at the bar. We're from SoCal and are so glad we selected Cedar Lodge (on CA 140) rather than any hotel at the southern (CA 41) entrance. This saved hours of driving time! What's not to like?FrankUnited States
- From £349.47 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,258 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
- From £349.47 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,258 reviewsGreat, unbeatable, location just outside the the main western entrance to Yosemite. Very large rooms with microwave, fridge and kitchen sink. This allows guests to have dinner in room, very important considering the relative lack of dining choices in the park, and since El Portal is a bit of a drive away. Can also buy provisions in the grocery shop in the property or in Yosemite.
KCG PgUnited States - From £349.47 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,258 reviewsRoom was spacious and clean, with excellent river views from our balcony. We availed ourselves of the outside pool and hot tub, which were also clean and not very occupied. Staff was polite, no complaints there, either. The shuttle bus for Yosemite picks you up wight outside the hotel, very convenient, just make sure you have a reservation, or its a BIG gamble....
IAN ROACHUnited States - From £349.47 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,258 reviewsThe room was very spacious. We loved the huge bath tub/jacuzzi. There was a lot of parking spaces right outside the room. The hotel has two pools, a small fitness room. It is located on the river Merced which was lovely and only 10-15 mins from Yosemite park. The mini-kitchenette had some decent equipment.

- From £222.06 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,924 reviewsWe stayed in a renovated room which was very clean, comfortable, and large enough for two people.

CharbelAustralia - From £222.06 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,924 reviewsThe hotel is close to Yosemite park. It was a very large room, with balcony. Across from there a hotel there was a gazebo all lit up at night. The room looks like it has been well cleaned, but there was a strong chemical smell and an underlying strange odor (mold?).
NishaUnited States - From £222.06 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,924 reviewsno wifi unfortunately but it was available to purchase, it didn't bother us as much as we where mostly at Yosemite or across from the Hotel is the river and our evenings there we spent there getting in the river or the pool.
