Red Bud Lodge

The only issue was that, to check in, we had to drive back ~2 miles, to a nearby lodge (no office at the location) (we were coming from east/Yosemite and tired!). It would be nice to let customer know before hand (eg email that before hand the day before).

Cabin air worked fine.  Kitchenette well stocked.  No room service, but front desk provided extra coffee, etc as needed.Quiet.  Great location near Yosemite National Park.  Great view.

The place was clean and quiet, even has a small kitchenette. You have use of pools at the Main resort and you're close to the Yosemite entrance

The room was very nice, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Love the set up by the river and the store. Really close to the park. I would stay here again.

Maribel at the lobby was so helpful, she was able to get me checked in little bit earlier then 3. She gave me so much information and whereabouts to all amenities on the properties. This is a cute lodge, across the street is a hidden beach with chairs and tables. Very relaxing and great for pictures.

Beautiful room (large), cool and comfortable (it was hot outside). Staff was receptive to our needs.Couple of things to note: restaurant options are v limited (have to drive 30 mins). office is 2 miles away

Decent stay outside entrance to the park! Double room was quiet with WiFi and TV. Refrigerator and microwave included as well. Not much else by the lodge but overall very pleased with the stay! Also one trailhead starting above the lodge which was a simple hiking option without heading into the park.

Very clean and comfortable.  I withheld one star because... 1. Some of the dishes had dried on food from before.  We washed them off ourselves but, yeah.   2.  The faucets spray fine streams of high pressure water meaning that it sprays all over but not much water is actually coming out.  So it's hard to wash your hands or dishes but the counter and your clothes end up with overspray by the time you are done.  I read the reviews about this and, yep, it's annoying.  It probably doesn't save water because it takes 3x longer to wash stuff or fill up a glass of water anyway!  I wish I brought a small vice grip and a normal diffuser to use, but why would I carry that around with me???!  Otherwise would stay there anytime.  It was a great close bedroom to explore Yosemite

Great!....except for the faucet diffusers!

Layout and amenities of Red Bud Inn were perfect for us in our journey to Yosemite NP.  The staff were very accommodating.  The room, bathroom, kitchen were ideally clean and well appointed.  I was much better than we expected for our needs.  The only draw back is the noise on the highway, which we contributed to with our driving.  We may stay here again in the future, if we return to the area.

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.

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!

Big room closer to Yosemite National Park

Would stay again!! This was the perfect accommodation for our trip to Yosemite. We had a full kitchen (complete with an oven!), which was so nice to be able to make all our meals. There is a small grocery store in El Portal which has decent prices and (surprisingly) a good number of options (ie. GF pizza). There is also a larger grocery store in Merced appx 30 min away that we hit on our way in. The room we had was the upper unit on a small out-building. We had vaulted ceilings, bathroom was decent (with plenty of towels) and kitchen was somewhat adequately stocked. We did bring some supplies of our own - cutting board, hot water boiler, etc. Check in is down the road (toward the park) at the Yosemite Valley Lodge. Wifi was good, since there is no service there. TV worked, though we didn't use it. There is also a really lovely hike (Hites Cove) that is just to the side of the Lodge. It was quite perfect to be able to escape the crowds of the park with only a 35 min drive into the park. Other nice amenities - just up the road is a Tesla Supercharger (about 10 min outside of the park), and a small restaurant attached to the hotel that supplies that. The only pitfalls are that our room was quite outdated, lacked some basic supplies (ie. cutting board), and it is just off the road, so there is quite a bit of road noise. Bonus - there's an AC unit AND once the road noise dies down, the rapids are a lovely background noise.

Close to park without the crowds! Stay here!

30 minute drive to Yosemite Tunnel View, so this place is convenient. Clean and lovely room with a mini kitchen including microwave and refrigerator. Bathroom is clean and big enough. The view outside the room is also gorgeous, it is a pleasure to wake up every morning and enjoy the creek view and fresh air. Such a good getaway experience. Also, the wifi connection is good.

Check in and out process was super easy, staff at Cedar Lodge were very friendly. The Wi-Fi is actually superb which was a great surprise (it’s also free). Location is right on main road but secluded enough and a short 20 min from park entrance. Inside is very clean and well kept with plenty of cooking supplies, including a stove top and toaster among other things. Would definitely recommend.

It is a cool space and you check in up the road maybe 2 miles away. The Expedia reservations accept Discover but ended up needing to put a different card down for the trip at the hotel because they did not accept Discover or Amex. Nice space, cool to have a full kitchen at an affordable rate. We will come back!
