Excellent location. Restaurant and Pizza Parlor on site. Plenty of parking. Store well stocked with a variety of items. Best of all staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay again in the future.
LONNIE - 6.0Scored 6.0
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).JeroenUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
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 € 687.75 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,303 reviewsThe apartment was spacious and had a small kitchenette with a small refrigerator and 2 hotplates. The bed was very comfortable. You could use different pools and whirlpools until 10:00 in the evening. For a total of about $4, you could do your own laundry (you have to bring detergent!) and use a dryer. Both the SPA areas, as well as the laundry area and the front desk could be reached on foot. A parking lot was available a few feet from the apartment. Yosemite National Park could be reached in about 10 minutes by car.Marc-RobinGermany
- From € 256.59 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,900 reviewsWith the hotel being quiet mid-week, before a storm, I was treated to an unexpected upgrade, so that made my stay extra comfy and worth the 10 extra minutes out of El Portal, for my Yosemite visit. Quite peaceful there and while I've stayed multiple times through the years, I've yet to go across the street to check out the river path. Having a micro and fridge makes all the difference when there are few services in the area. I did pay for wi-fi, which worked fine.EleanorUnited States
- 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 119 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.

Although cold outside, there were 2 hot tubs ( one outdoor and one indoor) and a indoor swimming pool open till 10 pm. Great for kids. 4. great to have a kitchen in the room to cook for my child. 5. rather quiet in the Mountain View room. 6. there was a brown bear wandering around the parking lot!HeUnited States
- From € 687.75 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,303 reviewsThe bed was very comfortable, the location was excellent not far from the gate to Yosemite and there was the gorgeous Merced River running right behind the hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I have a disability and was appreciative of the room close to the elevator. There were restaurants in the facility which, although pricey, were the only restaurants for miles so quite necessary.
DanaUnited States - From € 256.59 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,900 reviewsIt is more spacious than the pictures. There are 3 chairs in a room (normally i see only 1.) Spacious and bright bathroom. Hair dryer is powerful. Towels come in full set. Receptionists and house keepers are nice. Opposite to the hotel, there is a walk way down to the river where you can enjoy the nature, picnicing or sunbathing. Not too far from Yosemite Valley. At night is also charming.
patarida kiatsamuttaraThailand - From € 687.75 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,303 reviewsHandy location for Yosemite park entry. Good pizza place for eat in and take out on site. Good restaurant on site too. It served a buffet breakfast- not included in price but didn’t try it. Good food selection in shop in lobby and as the rooms have kitchenettes it’s perfect to self cater. Saw an otter in river at hotel. Free parking.MaryUnited Kingdom
- From € 256.59 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,900 reviewsThis hotel is all about location - one of the closest to the entrance to Yosemite National Park. Probably about 30 minutes or less. It is pricey because of the location and it's a no frills hotel - older rooms, few updates; our sink was leaking. But, they do have an indoor pool which is wonderful after a hike.JesseUnited States
