Cedar Lodge, El Portal (CA) - Deals & Reviews

Great streams for swimming and a lovely area lit with string lights at night made our stay memorable!

Felt safe, no complaints whatsoever.

The outdoor pool area provided a great place to relax after a day of hiking in Yosemite, and the staff was friendly and accommodating with all our requests.

The breakfast options were disappointing, especially considering the price, as some items were mediocre for a buffet.

The lodge had a nice little bar that was cozy! I enjoyed a drink there while chatting with some fellow travelers and it felt really homey. Plus, the breakfast in the restaurant kept me fueled for our hikes every day. The river nearby was beautiful to walk by in the evenings.

It wasn't cheap, but for the surrounding area, you could find worse options.

Consider visiting the nearby river for a relaxing evening walk. it provides a beautiful backdrop after a day in Yosemite.

Loud walls and low pressure showers, but great location near Yosemite and clean pool area

Friendly staff, relaxing pool, worn-out rooms

Consider bringing your own breakfast items, as on-site options are limited, and there are few dining choices in the vicinity with early closing hours.

Had a great time overall, but that breakfast was pretty average, and the Wi-Fi cost $10 a day which felt a bit steep. The location near Yosemite is a winner, though! Chur!

The lodge was a perfect base for our outdoor adventures, especially with my five adult kids. We loved catching rafts on the river during spring and flinging our fishing poles around with the Kid's Guide from the front desk. The pool area was a hit, too.

My wife says that the Wi-Fi fee was overpriced.

Great pool area and friendly staff. Noisy A/C in the room though.

The place is close to Yosemite, which is sweet as! Bit of a bummer with the uncomfortable beds and average brekkie options, though. Still, nice peaceful vibes here!

Clean, comfy rooms and a smooth check-in made our stay pleasant. The little gift shop was a hidden gem with great snacks and drinks! Plus, those lovely views are just chef's kiss.

However, the Wi-Fi costing extra felt like trying to squeeze juice from a rock. And honestly, my room could have used a spritz of fresh air instead of whatever that stale scent was!

The location is beautiful, right along a river, making it the perfect spot to relax! The staff was super accommodating with requests, and the pool area was great for unwinding after a long day.

The bathrooms could use a little TLC, and the coffee machine in the room didn’t work. Some road noise in the mornings was a bit distracting, too.

Love the vibes here! The rooms offer a vintage feel, and the outdoor pool is super chill for unwinding after a Yosemite day. Plus, staff were really helpful, ready to accommodate any requests I had.

Just wish the Wi-Fi wasn't an extra cost and the cleanliness could've been a bit better, missed that housekeeper touch.

Had a wonderful time here, especially enjoying the pools and the cozy game room during our downtime. The outdoor pool was a nice spot to unwind after hiking all day, and the restaurant's breakfast kept us fueled for our adventures. Just a heads up, the Wi-Fi fee felt a bit high, but it didn't put a damper on our overall experience! 😊

Had an awesome time with friends! We loved using the Kid's Guide to explore fun spots, especially fishing and hiking near Half Dome. The lodge is perfect for outdoor adventures and watching rafts on the river. The kitchen in our room made cooking easy, and being only 15 minutes from the park was ideal for avoiding crowds. Definitely recommend it for a group getaway!
