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.

What a fabulous base for a stay in Yosemite - it is RIGHT in the heart of the National Park, very quiet and on 30 mins drive to Yosemite Village. The Apartment was lovely, very clean, everything we needed, and the beds were very comfortable in every room! We had a fully fitted kitchen to prepare our braekfast in and a fantastic balcony to enjoy sitting outside on, and TV and pool table to keep yourselves amused! We really couldn't have found anywhere better.

The location, though you have to carry bags down long stairs, you then have a nice patio to eat breakfast between the trees and the squirrels. All the modern comfort you need, pleasant kitchen & bathroom.

    The pools are great! The restaurant is AWFUL!

    The pools are great! The restaurant is AWFUL! I'd rather eat my shoe than eat at that restaurant! The bar/grill are ok, certainly better than the restaurant, but that is speaking relatively... The store is very nice, offering a good variety of snacks and drinks. The location is very good, just a few miles away from the Yosemite entrance. The staff were friendly and responsive. The rooms were clean, and, thankfully, the AC worked well (it was 109 degrees when we were there!). The bathroom lights turned on automatically whenever someone entered the room, which we didn't like, and would have liked a way to turn that feature off.

    We didn't travel to visit El Portal which is pretty sparse.

    We didn't travel to visit El Portal which is pretty sparse. Its proximity to Yosemite is the reason we visit. There is a service station which is strategically located and also a fairly good coffee shop (dog friendly).

    The place had Tesla fast charging stations.

    The place had Tesla fast charging stations. The property was old but clean. The carpet could use a deep clean. The room had a balcony with a table and some chairs great for drinking with friends or just hang out and relax while looking out the river. The room was really big and spacious with a ref, stove top, coffee maker and some cooking and serving utensils. Actually the property was decent but with no cellular coverage (Tmobile), wifi should have been readily available. Here you have to pay through a 3rd party. Sad! So it’s not great for virtual meetings and stuff.

    The location and staff were excellent!! The room was clean, the amenities were great as well, the only problem was our TV. Maintenance couldn’t fix it so they gave us the internet for the TV the first night to remedy the situation which was amazing but not the second night which put a damper on things with no Tv to relax the second night.

    The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite.

    The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite. The room was good. The Pizza restaurant was good. We didn't like having to book room service (towels etc and coffee for room) on a daily basis. In our opinion is a throwback to Covid pandemic days, as a management policy to save money not support the customer.

    We stayed in a renovated room which was very clean, comfortable, and large enough for two people. The hotel has great amenities with a general store on site with helpful staff, and two restaurants that are good enough. The location is fantastic, only 30mins from Yosemite Valley.
