It was a fine hotel.
The beds were the best we stayed at during our entire California trip, and the breakfast was delicious. Great place with a beautiful view.
Older sheets. Power went out causing no hot water or internet. No offer to discount stay cost
Absolutely the worst internet I’ve ever had at an expensive hotel….it wasn’t broken it was just BAD. The system can’t handle the amount of users and it grinds to a stop. Unable to work remotely..wasted a huge chunk of my vacation time just trying to log in to my office. There is no cell service within 100 miles so internet access at the lodge is of utmost importance. The $22 breakfast buffet didn’t even have toast, pancakes or orange juice on it….. had much higher hopes, they didn’t meet basic necessities for a comfortable stay. Not a good value. Now I know why the guest room 2 down from us brought his own Starlink internet access and ran it to the parking lot 🤣
The Lodge booked two of my credit card (double charged) and now does not answer on any of my Mails since 3 Days.
My family and I stayed overnight on July 30. We had a queen Murphy bed, a king and a small kitchenette. The hotel was perfect and clean. The pools are extremely clean. I also love the idea of the hotel having 3 pools, so it doesn't get overly crowded. It has 2 outdoor pools and one indoor. I loved their in sight gift shop. It is nicely organized and priced. The hotel is about 8 miles from Yosemite entrance, perfectly situated.
It’s pretty close to the Yosemite National Park entrance. The rooms are basic. There are 3 outdoor pools. You can relax while gazing at the mountains.
We were there for 2 nights. The cleaning staff did NOT come clean the room or change the towels.
This place is absolutely stunning! They offer great amenities at an affordable price, and there’s a little Mercer River pool and BBQ area right across the street. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and they have a variety of games like pool, ping pong, and more. I believe they have two outdoor pools and one indoor pool. There are plenty of outdoor tables for families and friends, and surprisingly, there were no bugs. If you haven’t tried this place, you definitely should! I always stay at Oakhurst when I visit Yosemite, but next time I’m coming back, I’m staying at Cedar Lodge! What I love about this place is that there’s no internet connection, but the Wi-Fi works, albeit with a pretty bad connection.
Pros: Room was nice and updated. Had a good size kitchenette and tv with electric fireplace. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back here for our next trip to Yosemite. Good size shop with food and gifts. Very close to the park and a good price for the stay.
Cons: No laundry services. They refer you to the next lodge down the road (8mins). That lodge is much more populated and only has about 3 washers and dryers in constant use by guests so we couldn’t get access. We ended up going to PD Quick in Mariposa at the end of our stay. Staff was okay, but most seemed inconvenienced by our presence. Food is decent, restaurants get busy when everyone returns from the park but that’s to be expected, and it’s a little pricy but less so than what’s inside the park. Rooms could use a little more of a deeper clean. Lots of kids so if you’re looking for a quiet place this isn’t it. lol
Overall though, definitely recommend and will most likely return as we found it very budget friendly.
If you can’t find lodging in the park, this is almost as close as you’re going to get when coming from the west entrance. The location is beautiful, the rooms were fairly modern and updated with gas fireplace and clean beds/bathroom.. yet had mountain lodge feels. The gift shop/general store has coffee and food items plenty, and many gift/souvenir options. The only thing I suggest to make note of, was that parking in July seemed to be full and if you come in after dark, you might have to park a little further (happened every night we got back from Yosemite). Staff was friendly and helpful!
Rooms are pretty good. The area is very nice and especially there is beach outside property that we can hang out in night.its 20 mins away from Yosemite entrance. Their hotel and bar is also wonderful
Good lodge with pool, a few services, wifi and close to the park. I've repeated it there and it's very convenient.
Friendly staff at the front desk
Very convenient for the national park entrance.
This hotel has a number of pools and a games room.
We asked to be moved from our first room as it was close to the busy road and smelled of damp. We were given a nice room on the first floor at towards the back of the site.
The food in the bar was very good, especially the onion rings
I like this place. big bed and TV . Staff friendly.
