The location of the hotel is very good. The property is a bit old but has been maintained well. For the price that is charged, I would expect them to provide free wifi and breakfast.

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.

- 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.
OliviaAustralia - From $277.43 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,927 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.KKimberlyUnited States of America
- From $277.43 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,927 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 of America

There is no cell service, but they make up for the isolation by providing guests everything they need. We especially liked the grocery store in the gift shop and the river access across the street.
