8/10 Very good

Very good lodge for visiting the Yosemite National Park !
Anthony, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place was clean and quiet, even has a small kitchenette. You have use of pools at the Main resort and you're close to the Yosemite entrance
Linda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very convenient to Yosemite, our family enjoyed our stay here.
Kirsten, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was very nice, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Love the set up by the river and the store. Really close to the park. I would stay here again.
Eren, 2-night trip

Robin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cabin air worked fine. Kitchenette well stocked. No room service, but front desk provided extra coffee, etc as needed. Quiet. Great location near Yosemite National Park. Great view.
Charles, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The only issue was that, to check in, we had to drive back ~2 miles, to a nearby lodge (no office at the location) (we were coming from east/Yosemite and tired!). It would be nice to let customer know before hand (eg email that before hand the day before).
Omid, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Red Bud was a good choice for Yosemite vacation.

Location was excellent. No hand soap or hair conditioner. Beds were old and worn out but sheets and covers were clean. Counter service was excellent and maintenance, when directed was spot on.
Ross, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent stay outside entrance to the park! Double room was quiet with WiFi and TV. Refrigerator and microwave included as well. Not much else by the lodge but overall very pleased with the stay! Also one trailhead starting above the lodge which was a simple hiking option without heading into the park.
Nolan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent.
Sean, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good property near the Yosemite NP. It is literally 15 minutes by car to NP central entrance. It was clean and beautiful surrounding with mountains and Merced River passing through.

pablo the gamer, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

If you are looking for a cheap, quiet place to sleep just out of Yosemite it's not bad. The room was very basic but also very clean. There are no ammenities at the location but you are allowed to use the facilities (pool, etc) at the resort 3 miles away. Also, that is where you check in because, again, there are no facilities other than the block of rooms.
Kevin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

You have to check-in and out at the Cedar lodge, which is another 5 minutes drive. No breakfast provided.

Had issues with ants in the bathroom and sheets did not smell the best.
shetal, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hair found on the pillow and sheet, indicating they are not freshly changed since last customer. No complaints about other aspects.
1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We had to leave in the middle of the night. Someone was banging on our door and yelling. On this night the lodge has only one other guest. We had no cell service and there was no landline to call anyone. We did not feel safe since the lock was an old fashioned chain lock.We drove to Oakhurst and rented a room. Would not recommend.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room took 4 hrs to cool as AC was off when we arrived.
Rinku, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The bed was horrible, the shower pressure horrible, no water pressure, coffee pot was broken. Otherwise the property was okay
Victoria, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The building is obviously old and the room smelled musty. The room was clean and furnished like a standard basic hotel or motel. The office is a mile or more down the road at the hotel and there is no attendant at the lodge, which is only slightly inconvenient.
Andre, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

This property is three miles west from the main property and has no services. Check in, pool, restaurant is 3 miles away at the main lodge area. Right on the highway by not too noisy. The air conditioner was finicky, thank goodness for the ceiling fan as it was 100 degrees out. Our room was clean, but furnishings were old. WiFi didn’t work, and no cell service in the canyon. I would choose the main Cedar Lodge location to stay at.

lobby is at the other hotel That is a bit weird. Need to email beforehead so you won't need to run twice

Maribel at the lobby was so helpful, she was able to get me checked in little bit earlier then 3. She gave me so much information and whereabouts to all amenities on the properties. This is a cute lodge, across the street is a hidden beach with chairs and tables. Very relaxing and great for pictures.
