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 US$277.43 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,922 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
- 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 US$277.43 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,922 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 US$436.61 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,256 reviewsA great hotel in a perfect location! It's about a 10 minute drive to the Yosemite park entrance, and the room was spacious and clean, with a huge bathtub. It had a good sized fridge for any food, along with a very serviceable kitchenette. Really not much bad to say about this place, I'd highly recommend it.
DashiellUnited States - From US$277.43 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,922 reviewsCedar lodge is a 30-40 minute drive to Yosemite's entrance. Big, spacious rooms which are quite old but in good condition. Beds are comfortable and quiet. Parking is free right outside your door. An excellent accommodation to visit Yosemite (apart from the wifi)!
