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.EmmaUnited Kingdom

- From RSD 33,638.33 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,917 reviewsWith the hotel being quiet mid-week, before a storm, I was treated to an unexpected upgrade, so that made my stay extra comfy and worth the 10 extra minutes out of El Portal, for my Yosemite visit. Quite peaceful there and while I've stayed multiple times through the years, I've yet to go across the street to check out the river path. Having a micro and fridge makes all the difference when there are few services in the area. I did pay for wi-fi, which worked fine.EleanorUnited States
- From RSD 56,964.18 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,278 reviewsMy family liked everything at the hotel. After a long day at Yosemite we were tired but wanted to go swimming before making dinner. The indoor pool was great. Once we made dinner in our apartment style room the kids wanted to go play in the gameroom. They stayed til closing and when they woke up they went right back to the gameroom. The gameroom made my kids vacation exceptional. Never get rid of that. They want to go back to Yosemite just for the hotel!!!EEnriqueUnited States
- From RSD 56,964.18 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,278 reviewsThe Lodge is a only couple of miles away to the park gates nearest to Yosemite Valley. The scenic drive from Mariposa to El Portal was an added bonus. The property was clean & well kept + our room was plenty big enough for 3 people & a dog. We particularly liked the indoor pool being open and there was some lovely spots to just sit and relax. It was a relief that the shop was so well stocked. The staff were very helpful and efficient.
GeraldineUnited Kingdom - 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 119 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 RSD 56,964.18 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,278 reviewsGreat location just outside the El Portal gate of Yosemite. I think this is the nearest hotel you can get, outside of staying in the park itself. Room had a kitchen (with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee maker) and a full couch, which was more comfortable for longer trips in Yosemite. An added plus was the fireplace and balcony overlooking the river.SheilaUnited States

The fireplace was a perfect touch and the location to Yosemite was perfect! We were practically right at the entrance to the park. The pizza from the hotel restaurant was delicious it was a great way to end 2021 I can’t wait to go back again
