Great Experience Overall
Check-in was easy, room was clean, internet worked flawlessly, staff were friendly, very easy access to Yosemite by car Light feedback: shower hot water takes a minute or two to kick in, onsite coffee shop felt severely understaffed on a weekend morning but the lady working it was doing her best and was kind.

6/10 Good

The location of the lodge is very good. We like the spacious bathroom. The improvement is they now provide free wifi which was not included. The most disappointing thing is the bedsheets were terribly worn out and looked dirty. The bath towers had dark dirty spot of about quarter size. With the price of nearly 150 dollars per night the guests deserve cleaner and newer sheets.

Everything was great. Room was clean the TV channels were not great. One of the TVs didn't work. And the Wifi connection on the other TV was spotty. We weren't there for the TV but would've been nice to be able to watch something after a long day.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Cedar Lodge near Yosemite! I visited with family and friends, and it was the perfect base for exploring the beautiful national park. The lodge itself is cozy and well-kept, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with recommendations or assistance. The amenities were great, and we loved being able to unwind by the hot water pool after a day of hiking. A bonus for Tesla owners: there’s a Tesla Supercharger station only about 6 miles away, which made it super convenient to keep our car charged for all our daily adventures. The location is unbeatable – so close to Yosemite, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Highly recommend Cedar Lodge for anyone planning a Yosemite trip!
