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 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).

Red Bud was a good choice for Yosemite vacation.

Location was excellent. No hand soap or hair conditioner. Beds were old and worn out but sheets and covers were clean. Counter service was excellent and maintenance, when directed was spot on.

You have to check-in and out at the Cedar lodge, which is another 5 minutes drive. No breakfast provided.

Hair found on the pillow and sheet, indicating they are not freshly changed since last customer. No complaints about other aspects.

We had to leave in the middle of the night. Someone was banging on our door and yelling. On this night the lodge has only one other guest. We had no cell service and there was no landline to call anyone. We did not feel safe since the lock was an old fashioned chain lock.We drove to Oakhurst and rented a room. Would not recommend.

The bed was horrible, the shower pressure horrible, no water pressure, coffee pot was broken. Otherwise the property was okay

The building is obviously old and the room smelled musty. The room was clean and furnished like a standard basic hotel or motel. The office is a mile or more down the road at the hotel and there is no attendant at the lodge, which is only slightly inconvenient.

This property is three miles west from the main property and has no services. Check in, pool, restaurant is 3 miles away at the main lodge area. Right on the highway by not too noisy. The air conditioner was finicky, thank goodness for the ceiling fan as it was 100 degrees out. Our room was clean, but furnishings were old. WiFi didn’t work, and no cell service in the canyon. I would choose the main Cedar Lodge location to stay at.

You have to check it out somewhere else about two miles away. The price includes the daily housekeeping service, but there is no service. The air conditioner is old, so it's noisy when it's working Nobody can take care of the trash bins outside the door. Animals come and devour the trash, making a mess.

A little pricey, but the room was great with a kitchenette and stocked with dishes, utensils, coffee. Market for provisions about 12 miles up the road. For the price, slightly above average value.
