Cedar Lodge

Cedar Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"I didn't specify that I needed a first floor room due to a knee injury. Our room was on the second floor and there are no elevators. The young woman at the desk went out of her way to try to find a first floor room for us. The property is beautiful. The hot tubs and pool area were maintained. Loved the chandeliers in the pool area. The rooms were clean and spacious. Our room had a balcony. There is a grocery store and gift shop. The location is close to Yosemite National Park. Over all, I was totally happy with my stay at Cedar Lodge. The staff was very helpful and the property was beautiful with a little walking trail across the street by the river. I would definitely stay here again."

"Stayed for 2 nights at the Vista Airstream and it really gives a quieter ambiance as the Airstream are located with less neighbors. Loved the aesthetics of the Airstream and it has complete kitchen utensils that you need if you wanted to cook using fire. Stay was wonderful and definitely enjoyed it. Staff were very welcoming too and gave us an anniversary gift as we were staying to celebrate our 10th year while visiting the Yosemite. Will definitely recommend especially for couples like us who wanted something romantic stay!"

"A little bit better than I expected for the price, especially in the vicinity of Yosemite Valley. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had a difficult time with the remote control that is used to adjust the temperature of the room. We should have been supplied with more than one thin blanket for each bed upon request for the second night."
