For where the location is, right by Yosemite.. it's very convinient. Close to gas stations as well, the hotel itself has a snack shack. Better than camping to me!

Room was beautiful and spacious and great location. My room refrigerator was leaking when I arrived and although staff was informed, it was still leaking when I left the next day, so not addressed. Staff when I was checking out was friendlier than checking in. Restaurant only had one floor employee, so a little hectic/slow but good food.

Not all rooms are renovated. We stayed in an older room with a small bathroom and shower that leaked out. The bathroom was not completely clean. The hot tub and pools had bugs in them, and the indoor pool was broken the first day.

There was only one pool and hot tub open despite more on property. It was packed.
Our room smelled a bit musty. It’s a great value in a great location.

Room size was good. But everytime we used bathroom, we would get locked in and had to call the front office to bail us out. The lock was bad. Internet with very week to no connection. Poor TV reception, no ice around us. Fridge was a freezer, all our items froze and got spoiled. No coffee amenities for guests of two. We had to ask for them. No electric car chargers.

The mountain view was impressive. There is a river with bank full of different colors that were attractive.

we did not try out the fire place, so there was no comment.

The main concern we had was the wet carpet on one side near the bath shower wall in the room likely no previous guests reported to the management, so it was not fixed during our time there. Of course, we did not find out until one bag was wet when sitting there overnight. The management did promise to fix it once we leave.

I like that this place is close to the park entrance so getting there is fairly easy. The place was not crowded so noise was not an issue, sometimes it has been noisy here. I did not use the large tub, but for some that might be a plus. It provided a good sleep. I just wish it was a bit more affordable for enjoying Yosemite for more than one night. I travelled with my husband.

The room was clean and presentable, not wow. The room was ready 45 minutes past the check-in time. I liked that there was a picnic area across the highway, very nice area. Some things changed that was not listed on the Hotels.com profile, such as they now allow dogs at no charge. The restaurants were so so, packed and long wait to get okay food, limited selections, greasy chicken tenders.

Expedia booking included microwave and even front desk confirmed we would have microwave in the room but we found no microwave. When called back to front desk, they said the person who confirmed microwave was new and didn't know. This was terrible experience, as they outright denied to accommodate to avail a microwave

The room was very spacious but the sofa bed was broken my daughter hat to pull the matress out and place it on the carpet to be able to sleep because the head rest kept going down, and the sink focet needs to be fix or replace.

The room was clean and updated. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was soft and super comfy. The indoor pool and hot tub were welcome after a day of hiking Yosemite, in November no less! Loved all the carved bears around the property and stuffed bear collection in the lobby. Great gift shop and grocery store. The restaurant and bar was good too. Yummy onion rings and cocktails, good wine and beer! Lovely river, gazebo and beach across the street. Price was right. Best of all, super close to Yosemite (7 miles). This is my new favorite place to stay when visiting Yosemite.

Pros: spacious, comfortable room, functional kitchenette (the main reason we chose this place/room)

Cons: squishy beds, room/bathroom a bit dated and a little dirty around the edges, no view other than of a cement wall on the other side of the walkway leading to the room.

Overall, quite adequate for our needs and a comfortable stay, just no particular charm.

We stayed here during our trip to visit Yosemite National Park. The staff were kind and very friendly. The toilet in our room didn’t flush very smoothly, though it never clogged. The shower water pressure was a bit low but still acceptable. Since it was autumn, we didn’t use the pool, but both the indoor and outdoor pools looked spacious and enjoyable for the summer season. The room heating worked well. It would be even more convenient if there were laundry facilities on the hotel grounds. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay here. Thank you!

Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed spending time as a family playing ping pong and billiards in the game room—it was a great way to connect and have fun together. The only minor downside was the weak Wi-Fi and limited connectivity (only two devices per room), which mattered since there was no cell signal in the area. But honestly, being in Yosemite, it felt nice to unplug and enjoy a bit of digital detox. Overall, a wonderful stay for families.

There are not a lot of options if you want to stay close to Yosemite, and I am generally wary of motels with exterior doors (some bad past experiences) but was pleasantly surprised by the Cedar lodge. It is not fancy or modern but was good enough. Hot tub was clean and hot. Restaurant and bar on site was perfect. Convenience store had everything we needed. Rooms were clean and the beds were ok. Best part is the short drive to the park.
