First off, I want to say I never do reviews but I had to do this to protect others. There were ants everywhere. They were all over the shower. We had to wash the tub before we could take a shower. There were dead ants on the bottom of our feet. There were black spots on the ceiling. When we pulled out one of the wash clothes, it had a brown stain. In the other room that we had for the night, the AC sounded like there was a shoe in the dryer being knocked around the whole night. The coffee maker also did not work. When we told the staff they said the manager would call us. I have now waited three days and have received no response. Don’t stay here! I still can’t believe I paid over $200 per room for this place.

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.

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.

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.

You have to check it out somewhere else about two miles away. The price includes the daily housekeeping service, but there is no service. The air conditioner is old, so it's noisy when it's working Nobody can take care of the trash bins outside the door. Animals come and devour the trash, making a mess.
