Excellent location. Restaurant and Pizza Parlor on site.
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.

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 of America - 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.

- Avg. price/night: $277.437.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,924 reviewsQuiet! The other people staying at this hotel were quiet, respectful, and I suspect everyone was there to go in to Yosemite for daytime hikes. We were close to the highway in front of the hotel, but car traffic was minimal to none between 8pm-10am. Pillows were great. Plenty of hot water for showers. Bath towels were thick and high quality. Black out curtains kept light out and the air conditioner wasn’t too loud. Easy check in/out, convenient small store for buying snacks, hats souvenirs, etc.JenniferFamily with young children
- Avg. price/night: $436.617.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,263 reviewsThis is the closest you can get to Yosemite without staying in the park. The rooms are a nice size, the beds comfy, and the kitchenette is really convenient. The game room is fun and there are several heated pools/jacuzzis. The little path near the river is nice as well. We had a delicious dinner at the hotel restaurant. We have stayed here three times now while visiting Yosemite. This hotel has pretty much everything you could need or want while visiting Yosemite.
BiminyFamily with young children - Avg. price/night: $436.617.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,263 reviewsThe Lodge is a only couple of miles away to the park gates nearest to Yosemite Valley. The scenic drive from Mariposa to El Portal was an added bonus. The property was clean & well kept + our room was plenty big enough for 3 people & a dog. We particularly liked the indoor pool being open and there was some lovely spots to just sit and relax. It was a relief that the shop was so well stocked. The staff were very helpful and efficient.
GeraldineFamily with young children - 8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 118 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.
OliviaTravelers with friends - Avg. price/night: $277.437.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,924 reviewsDefinitely one of the most conveniently located hotels outside of Yosemite - only 30 min to the 140 entrance and barely any traffic even around 10 am! Staff was very friendly and accommodating, the restaurant/bar/coffee shop and on site convenience store made it so you don’t have to drive miles away for essentials after a long day of hiking.KKimberlyYoung couple

The hotel has great amenities with a general store on site with helpful staff, and two restaurants that are good enough. The location is fantastic, only 30mins from Yosemite Valley.
CharbelYoung couple - Avg. price/night: $277.437.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,924 reviewsThe hotel is close to Yosemite park. It was a very large room, with balcony. Across from there a hotel there was a gazebo all lit up at night. The room looks like it has been well cleaned, but there was a strong chemical smell and an underlying strange odor (mold?).
NishaYoung couple - Avg. price/night: $277.437.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,924 reviewsFabulous location on the outskirts of Yosemite National Park. We had a balcony room, which was nice.
