The location is perfect but besides that this motel made me and my friend pretty mad. Calling the staff takes forever and in person they aren't that great either, AND our room was infested with ants which ruined some of the food we brought. The pool at Cedar Lodge was nice but besides that this hotel sucks.

This is a small, older hotel with only a few rooms. The amenities such as the pool are 2 miles away at The Cedar Lodge. That is where you go to get your keys. Expedia says you can only check in between 3-6 but that's not correct. Staff is at the Cedar Lodge later than that. We were only a few miles from the gate, so that was very convenient. The room was comfortable. We had wanted a downstairs room, but there were only a few of those. There was no one to help with out bags because there's no staff at the hotel. We would have loved to stay at the Cedar Lodge, but this was the last room available in our price range when we booked, and it served it's purpose. The kitchenette was great to have!

It had everything you would expect from a 1 star motel. We had to travel to another location for check in (it was not communicated beforehand). The room was very dirty, stains everywhere. Toilet didn't flush properly. The room had a terrible smell. The air conditioning was very loud, probably technology of 50 years ago. The sheets and towels were very old. One of the towels was so old that it was ripped. The location was decent. 30 minutes drive from Yosemite Valley. So, if you want to pay 300+ USD for an OK location, this is your place. Otherwise, avoid it at all costs. I would never stay here again.

If you are looking for a cheap, quiet place to sleep just out of Yosemite it's not bad. The room was very basic but also very clean. There are no ammenities at the location but you are allowed to use the facilities (pool, etc) at the resort 3 miles away. Also, that is where you check in because, again, there are no facilities other than the block of rooms.

We did not have any hot water for both days we stayed there! We called the front desk about it after the first morning, and they said they would \"pass the message on\". On the 2nd morning, the power went out about 0730 during another cold shower. We again called the front office, but they took a \"message\" and said they would call us back. However, once the internet also went out, we had no way to call them again or answer any calls because there is no cell service there. The light in the kitchen was broken as well, and it was dark over in that area. The bed mattress was not very comfortable, so I ended up sleeping on the sofa. Once we checked out at the 2nd location (Cedar Lodge), they were not very sympathetic to the problems we had and did not offer any compensation for lack of hot water or power for the last 2 hours we were trying to get ready and pack up! They said that \"PG&E must be having a power shut off that they did not tell them about\". However, the Cedar Lodge HAD power, so it was clearly not important to them that the Red Bud Lodge was without power, and was getting pretty hot without ac.

First off, I want to say I never do reviews but I had to do this to protect others. There were ants everywhere. They were all over the shower. We had to wash the tub before we could take a shower. There were dead ants on the bottom of our feet. There were black spots on the ceiling. When we pulled out one of the wash clothes, it had a brown stain. In the other room that we had for the night, the AC sounded like there was a shoe in the dryer being knocked around the whole night. The coffee maker also did not work. When we told the staff they said the manager would call us. I have now waited three days and have received no response. Don’t stay here!

Old, dated, inadequate facility. A Motel 6.

1. misrepresenting pictures: The Lodge has multiple pictures showing how the rooms look like, but the pictures are not tied to the different types of rooms. I thought our room, 2 queen beds, come with a large kitchen and large fridge. Upon arriving, I realized our room had 2 queen beds, yes, but the \"kitchen\" was a tiny thing and the fridge was a tiny one too. Nothing like the pictures shown on web. Perhaps I mistakenly believed the full size kitchen picture was what I was getting. It would have been very helpful had the specify that. 2. The toilet in our room had a very very weak flush. We need to flush 3 times for our number 1. Imagine our \"other\" flushing needs. 3. One of the queen bed's supporting base was off centered, so if 2 people sit on the foot of the bed, the head of the bed would tilt up!! We are skinny people, weighting no more than 150 lbs. each. 4. The heater in our room would keep going constantly, overheating our room even though we kept the temp at 68. It was very uncomfortable.

Room was nothing fancy, which was expected. But it was clean and enough room for three of us. But the faucet in the bathroom sink sprayed water all over the counter making it virtually unusable. Also, there was no lighting outside the door making it dark and difficult when arriving late. No servicing the room during the day. Check-in was two miles down the road, which also had a pricey but mediocre buffet breakfast. There isn’t much around there at a decent price, so I guess they don’t have to be very good to compete. Probably would look for a better place.

Great!....except for the faucet diffusers!

Very clean and comfortable. I withheld one star because... 1. Some of the dishes had dried on food from before. We washed them off ourselves but, yeah. 2. The faucets spray fine streams of high pressure water meaning that it sprays all over but not much water is actually coming out. So it's hard to wash your hands or dishes but the counter and your clothes end up with overspray by the time you are done. I read the reviews about this and, yep, it's annoying. It probably doesn't save water because it takes 3x longer to wash stuff or fill up a glass of water anyway! I wish I brought a small vice grip and a normal diffuser to use, but why would I carry that around with me???! Otherwise would stay there anytime. It was a great close bedroom to explore Yosemite

Red Bud Lodge Very Isolated.

Fidning the Red Bud Lodge was the first adventure next to no signage you come around a blind corner and the parking lot entry is right there (a gap in the concrete edging into very tiny carpark.).The Red Bud Lodge was clean and large size room with a mini kitchenette. The staircase was very steep to access the room via an external set of stairs. The location has no cell service, no phone in room, there is no onsite manager if anything is required you need to travel about 3 miles to Cedar Lodge who also manage this hotel. Distance to Yoemsite NP is great. The dining options are very limited there is a restaurant at Cedar lodge where we found restaurant staff rude unhelpful and the prices were ridiculous for a hamburger.
Please be prepared if staying here to have your own food. The parking is also very limited not enough spaces for all the rooms. Overall I would look at alternative options if going to Yosemite NP.

Needed a last minute hotel and booked this without realizing it was a 1-star hotel, which was priced way to high for the rating and quality.
1) Dirty: as we entered, saw hair in the bathroom floor, sink and tub. The toilet had brown stains on the rim. When opened the bed to get in, found a chunk of hair on the pillow.
2) Linens: they stored lots of linens in the room dresser, so if someone touches them or slightly uses them and puts them back, they likely do not get washed between bookings. Also, because all 6 drawers were full of supplies, there was nowhere to store our belongings. No other drawers anywhere. The bed cover and base also had holes.
3) Old room, holes in the walls, dusty bed. Perhaps okay for the 1-star rating, but definitely not ok for the price they charge.
4) There is no staff on the premises and there is no phone in the room. If you need any supplies, you have to drive 2 miles to their main location with staff and ask what you need. We went to pick up a box of tissues and on our way back to our hotel, we got stuck on the road closure at 7:30pm because the hotel didn't even tell us that due to road work, they close the one lane street for 30 -60 minutes at a time. 4) did not warn us of the road closures. Because we got stuck the first night, we ended up canceling all of our evening plans for the remainder of our stay out of fear that the road may close and we wouldn't be able to get to our hotel when we wanted to. Would not stay here again.

Big room closer to Yosemite National Park

Spacious room and a full kitchen, including a full sized refrigerator.
Fantastic location just outside the park. The place was clean and the area was relatively quiet.
However, if you're a light sleeper like I am, you may want to bring ear plugs because the air conditioner is kind of loud. And if you plan to sleep late, the cars speeding by the highway are also pretty loud. Finally, you may also want to bring an eye mask because (at least in our room) there's a light right outside the door that tour can't turn off (the light from it comes through the high windows which have no blinds.)
Recommend you buy water or bring your own since the tap water here has a sulfur smell and doesn't taste very good.
I've seen a lot of reviews on here complaining about the fact that you have to check in at the Cedar Lodge hotel a few minute drive down the road. We didn't find that to be a problem. The market there was super convenient and we had dinner at the restaurant (food was just ok).
IMPORTANT NOTE: check in (only at the Cedar Lodge) is only from 4 pm - 6 pm,a very tight window!

Would stay again!! This was the perfect accommodation for our trip to Yosemite. We had a full kitchen (complete with an oven!), which was so nice to be able to make all our meals. There is a small grocery store in El Portal which has decent prices and (surprisingly) a good number of options (ie. GF pizza). There is also a larger grocery store in Merced appx 30 min away that we hit on our way in. The room we had was the upper unit on a small out-building. We had vaulted ceilings, bathroom was decent (with plenty of towels) and kitchen was somewhat adequately stocked. We did bring some supplies of our own - cutting board, hot water boiler, etc. Check in is down the road (toward the park) at the Yosemite Valley Lodge. Wifi was good, since there is no service there. TV worked, though we didn't use it. There is also a really lovely hike (Hites Cove) that is just to the side of the Lodge. It was quite perfect to be able to escape the crowds of the park with only a 35 min drive into the park. Other nice amenities - just up the road is a Tesla Supercharger (about 10 min outside of the park), and a small restaurant attached to the hotel that supplies that. The only pitfalls are that our room was quite outdated, lacked some basic supplies (ie. cutting board), and it is just off the road, so there is quite a bit of road noise. Bonus - there's an AC unit AND once the road noise dies down, the rapids are a lovely background noise.

30 minute drive to Yosemite Tunnel View, so this place is convenient. Clean and lovely room with a mini kitchen including microwave and refrigerator. Bathroom is clean and big enough. The view outside the room is also gorgeous, it is a pleasure to wake up every morning and enjoy the creek view and fresh air. Such a good getaway experience. Also, the wifi connection is good.

Check in and out process was super easy, staff at Cedar Lodge were very friendly. The Wi-Fi is actually superb which was a great surprise (it’s also free). Location is right on main road but secluded enough and a short 20 min from park entrance. Inside is very clean and well kept with plenty of cooking supplies, including a stove top and toaster among other things. Would definitely recommend.
