Very clean. Totally outdated decor. Cutlery seemed sourced from the Dollar Store. Sufficient accommodation for $100/night, but ridiculous for $330/night.

Beautiful quiet property! The pictures don’t do it justice. Clean and homey, and you get access to the pools and gym at the larger Yosemite lodge nearby. It was an easy drive to Yosemite.

Good property near the Yosemite NP. It is literally 15 minutes by car to NP central entrance. It was clean and beautiful surrounding with mountains and Merced River passing through.

If you are looking for a cheap, quiet place to sleep just out of Yosemite it's not bad. The room was very basic but also very clean. There are no ammenities at the location but you are allowed to use the facilities (pool, etc) at the resort 3 miles away. Also, that is where you check in because, again, there are no facilities other than the block of rooms.

Mostly very nice motel near the park. But there's no front desk at the building itself. You have to check in 3 miles down the road. Which is not convenient. Also bathroom faucet was terrible. Otherwise very spacious and clean room.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
