Yosemite Cedar Lodge

I had a wonderful stay at Yosemite Cedar Lodge. The location is excellent—right along the Merced River and about 30 minutes’ drive from Yosemite Valley, making it very convenient for exploring the park. The peaceful riverside setting feels relaxing and scenic, surrounded by beautiful natural views. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, Yosemite Cedar Lodge is a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay near Yosemite National Park.

It’s very near Yosemite Park, just 20-30mins drive. There is breakfast that you can get so that is very convenient for us. Very clean and manageable.

"There were very few lodging options in the Yosemite area due to a severe shortage of accommodations. Check-in didn't start until 4 PM, and the staff's rigid attitude was quite unpleasant. Considering it's a lodge deep in the mountains, it's hard to expect much more. It was expensive, but there was no other choice."

Good location as it takes around 20mins to the valley. Comfort bed and actually the size of lodge is quite big. recommend to stay here

This hotel is very good. The staff at the front desk are very friendly．Our room is spacious with a fully equipt kitchen．

Good location, just 20min from main entrance to Yosemite. Nice restaurant for dinner. Very big compound for parking. friendly and helpful reception.

Nice hotel .. its a repeated stay for me from a stay many years back! Love the included breakfast!

It's a cozy little lodge with friendly receptionists and they provide a free drink upon arrival as well as a smore kit. Didn't try out the jacuzzi but would like to try next time.

Excellent location about a 20 mins drive from the entrance to Yosemite Valley. Definitely worth staying here rather than paying more than double in the park itself. We stayed in a king room which must have been remodelled recently as it was modern and clean except the hair we found on one of the pillows. The only negative about the room was the terrible WiFi connection, it would drop in and out constantly which was annoying. We didn't go to the restaurant/coffee shop but the games room was great with free pool, table tennis, cornhole, and tons of board games. In addition, the gift shop was way cheaper than the ones in the park itself. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Yosemite!
