    Super hotel with really spacious rooms. A small kitchenette was great for self catering and the room had a lovely balcony. There are barbecue places and two restaurants on the premises. The lodge is about 20min drive from Yosemite valley. Staff were efficient and helpful.

    The space was good for 4 adults and a toddler. The kitchen was well equipped. The outside space was nice. We could use the pool at Cedar Lodge.

    Pros: Close to Yosemite park entrance, which seemed a faster entrance into Yosemite Valley. Quaint lodge with nice little river walk. Liked the options of three pools with indoor and outdoor options. Also liked the adult only pool and hot tub. That was a nice peaceful area after a day of hiking. Teens loved the game room area to have a space for activities. Two restaurants on site.

    We loved Cedar Lodge and the area around it. The paths along the water across the road were really nice! The Lodge itself was very quiet and peaceful. The staff were very friendly and helpful! We will definitely be back!

    Clean, 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.

    The lodge is conveniently located to the park entrance, though it still takes 10-15 minutes before getting to the 1st landmark. The bed sheets smelled clean. Our 5 year old was a fan of the bathtub with a shower head on each end of the tub. We took advantage of the indoor swimming pool and hot tub to relax after a day of hiking. We had a view river from our room which was a nice touch. The store in the lobby is convenient though expensive. The game room is awesome!

    The room had a kitchenette and a balcony out the back with a spectacular view, was spacious and comfortable. There was a large whirlpool that both of us fit in. A nice treat. The lodge was just at the entrance to the park.
