Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a decent spot near Yosemite, with clean rooms and a friendly atmosphere. The dining was good but not ideal for late arrivals, and the lack of included Wi-Fi was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a reasonable place to stay if you're visiting the park, but the service could use improvement.
We had a fantastic time at Yosemite Cedar Lodge! The room we stayed in was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for meal prep with its well-equipped kitchen. While the air conditioning could use some improvement, the overall experience was delightful. The location is ideal for accessing Yosemite National Park, but be prepared for some dated areas in the lobby. Overall, a great stay that we would absolutely repeat!
The hotel has a fantastic location, very close to Yosemite, and the views are beautiful right from the rooms. However, I was disappointed with the lack of amenities included in the price, and the dining options are quite limited. Additionally, the upkeep of the facilities left something to be desired, which was a letdown considering the nightly rate.
Our stay was enjoyable and offered great value given its proximity to Yosemite. The cleanliness and prompt service were definite highlights. However, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of free Wi-Fi and limited TV channels. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those looking to explore the park without spending a fortune on lodging.
Cedar Lodge offers a great location near Yosemite with a beautiful river and small beach across the street. While my room was comfortable and clean, the front desk service left much to be desired, as the staff seemed unfriendly at times. The pool area also needs some work, but the bar staff, especially Micheal, made for a memorable dining experience. Overall, it's a decent place with good value for money, just don’t expect stellar service.
