Theres alot of things that made our stay very complicated. Such as no wifi, and only 2 channels on the TV. There was only hot water coming out of the sink. The shower water was also not that cold. No cleaning service or staff.

Nice place to stay that is pretty close (8 miles) to Yosemite. The rooms are all on the second floor up an outside steep staircase if that is difficult for you. They have no front desk there so you have to check in at the Cedar Lodge down the street but that was no big deal. The room had a kitchenette of sorts with a hot plate, dishes etc but we didn’t realize that so didn’t take advantage of it. Friendly staff. Clean room.

Great spot near a bridge where 2 rivers come together. Walk across the street to have coffee on the river. Unfortunately the nights we stayed construction on the bridge started after 9pm. Otherwise lovely spot and place.

Needed a last minute hotel and booked this without realizing it was a 1-star hotel, which was priced way to high for the rating and quality. 1) Dirty: as we entered, saw hair in the bathroom floor, sink and tub. The toilet had brown stains on the rim. When opened the bed to get in, found a chunk of hair on the pillow. 2) Linens: they stored lots of linens in the room dresser, so if someone touches them or slightly uses them and puts them back, they likely do not get washed between bookings. Also, because all 6 drawers were full of supplies, there was nowhere to store our belongings. No other drawers anywhere. The bed cover and base also had holes. 3) Old room, holes in the walls, dusty bed. Perhaps okay for the 1-star rating, but definitely not ok for the price they charge. 4) There is no staff on the premises and there is no phone in the room. If you need any supplies, you have to drive 2 miles to their main location with staff and ask what you need. We went to pick up a box of tissues and on our way back to our hotel, we got stuck on the road closure at 7:30pm because the hotel didn't even tell us that due to road work, they close the one lane street for 30 -60 minutes at a time. 4) did not warn us of the road closures. Because we got stuck the first night, we ended up canceling all of our evening plans for the remainder of our stay out of fear that the road may close and we wouldn't be able to get to our hotel when we wanted to. Would not stay here again.

To check in we had to go to cedar lodge which is 2.5 miles away from red bud lodge. Moreover, the parking was full at the red bud lodge, so we were asked to park beside the road which was not safe at all. Apart from that the room was clean and all appliances were working.

Tall ceilings, large beds, nice little kitchen. - Fridge was loud and didn't cool things well. The AC smelled extremely musty so we kept it off to avoid breathing in mold.

Big room closer to Yosemite National Park
Spacious room and a full kitchen, including a full sized refrigerator. Fantastic location just outside the park. The place was clean and the area was relatively quiet. However, if you're a light sleeper like I am, you may want to bring ear plugs because the air conditioner is kind of loud. And if you plan to sleep late, the cars speeding by the highway are also pretty loud. Finally, you may also want to bring an eye mask because (at least in our room) there's a light right outside the door that tour can't turn off (the light from it comes through the high windows which have no blinds.) Recommend you buy water or bring your own since the tap water here has a sulfur smell and doesn't taste very good. I've seen a lot of reviews on here complaining about the fact that you have to check in at the Cedar Lodge hotel a few minute drive down the road. We didn't find that to be a problem. The market there was super convenient and we had dinner at the restaurant (food was just ok). IMPORTANT NOTE: check in (only at the Cedar Lodge) is only from 4 pm - 6 pm,a very tight window!

The property looked closed and abandoned when we drove up, especially with the keep out sign in the parking lot. We had to check in at a location 3 miles away and there was no staff or any amenities onsite. The room was acceptable but not worth the daily rate.
