The location is good for Yosemite Parc visits. The pool and game room is a nice extra. Dinner options are very limited but the pizza place is fine.

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).JeroenUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
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 $275.15 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,935 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 of America
- 8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 116 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 $275.15 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,935 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.

DanielUnited Kingdom - 7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,246 reviewsThis is the nearest hotel to the Yosemite park entrance, so that's a big plus. Also, the balcony is right above the Merced river, great view of the river, and very nice to hear the sound of water from the room. The rooms are very large.
