Cedar Lodge

8/10 Good

"Near to yosemite park, thats best way to describe it. Chairs on my room feel pretty wear out, old, not comfortable at all. Outside room was not clean, i know there a lot of leaf out there, but it was a lot of dust and dirt. Toilet was too low, i was very uncomfortable to use it. Tv signal, very poor. Restaurant/ dinner: very few options, and yet feel very disorganized to attend people whit so little option. Good points: Play room, was nice. Several pools Near to yosemite River merced accross street"

"Great breakfast"

Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"They were very polite to leave my room key out because I arrived after hours in the dark. they left a detailed map of where my cabin was that was very helpful! It was a great stay."

5th Street Inn

8/10 Good

"The Inn is old, maybe historic, therefore our room reflected the age. It was a huge clean room, high ceilings, bright big window Offered refrigerator & microwave I took a shower, I used the non-slip mat but the tub was slippery. There were no handrails for my safety. Shower soap, shampoo & conditioner were provided. Parking was a bit tricky due to the slant of the driveway"

Indian Flat RV Park - Tent Cabins & Cottages

8/10 Good

"Great location close to national park, has access to multiple pools and the river"

River Rock Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location near Yosemite - convenient parking to rooms. Had a little trouble finding our room as it was on the backside of the building. Cafe with breakfast offerings was not open as scheduled so that was a bit of a bummer. Room was large and had great coffee maker in room - bathroom had good water pressure in the shower. Beds were comfortable and rooms were quiet and offered a good night's sleep."

Red Bud Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay and perfect location. Would happily return! Only niggle was the lack of hot water when showering, not a biggie due to the hot days."
