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).

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 £529.22 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,253 reviewsYou stay here for proximity to the 140 entrance to Yosemite National Park. It's about a 15-minute drive from the hotel into the valley and an hour and fifteen to Tuolumne Meadows along Tioga Pass. The Merced River flows right behind the hotel and that's honestly very beautiful. There is a Chevron across the street and the closest gas station, and that is convenient. There is a glass stove plate and a microwave and some utensils that would make it a good place for people who want to do a small amount of cooking.NNatalieFrance
- From £529.22 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,253 reviewsThe location is superb as it is the closest hotel outside of Yosemite. It is only a short drive to enter the park. The rooms were airconditioned, the beds comfortable and there was good TV reception. There were a number of swimming pools which came in very handy as it was very hot while we were there. There is a restaurant and pizza bar on the site. There is also a small convenience store. We had a room overlooking a running stream with outdoor setting so it was really nice.phil-r-ausAustralia
- From £248.30 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,929 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
- From £333.80 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 116 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 £529.22 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,253 reviewsBooked 2 rooms for 7 members, since the rooms were far apart, got a free upgrade to a suite room. Amazing view of the river behind the hotel and easy access to it. The hotel is located just 15 mins from the Yosemite visitor center and the breakfast was good. Best time to visit Yosemite would be in March to June and October to December as most points would be inaccessible during other times due to snow.Santhosh KumarUnited States
- From £248.30 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,929 reviewsWe stayed in a renovated room which was very clean, comfortable, and large enough for two people. 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.
CharbelAustralia - From £529.22 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 8,253 reviewsI thought the room was over-priced for the hotel quality (good, but not top notch) and location. It was a long drive from Yosemite Valley. The room was very clean, though. I think breakfast should have been included for the price we paid.MargotUnited States
